The mood here in Pizzaburgh is largely gratitude mixed with a tinge of disappointment. It will be interesting to see if the Steel City can handle the psychic shift of losing its doormat status, like Bostonians had to in 2005. That said, I'm hope the Dodgers squish the Cardinals into dust (and then lose to the Bosox.)

This tune from Thomas Mapfumo was serious business. He is mocking Ian Smith and the ruling white Rhodesian power struggle. Mapfumo would be jailed. The gov't would fly over the bush blaring Mapfumo's music trying to convince the rebels that the musician was supporting the whites. Their ham-fisted endeavor failed miserably. of course.

@trs
WFMU created a framework for a community of listeners/commentors called "the WFMU Friendship Society." Absolutely everyone is welcome to join. (And welcome not to, of course.) "Membership" allows certain levels of interactivity. For instance, you can contact other "members" directly if you like. There are other features, too. Mostly, it's a way to semi-privatize the commenting feature on the playlists to help keep the discussion from swirling down into the typical mess that befouls so many other public comment boards.

Any other listeners wanna describe their experience with this?

  11:27am trs:

No. Not registration to comment. It's the labeling of listeners. eg 'trsties' if, say, I had a show named trs or something. It's intended to promote affiliation and it does the opposite to me.

I was a bit doubtful of signing up, bit part of the Groucho skool of clubs. Since doing so I have contacted or been contacted by other listeners. You can decide to accept an invitation to talk or not. If you do the communication can be more relaxed in a one to one way. I have also swapped music & photographs with people in other countries. It is an earthshrinker.

Avatar 11:31am Carmichael:

I don't believe I've ever been *tracked*, since I've never received any spam e-mails or anything else related to marketing. This isn't like Facebook; the posts and meta data go nowhere else in cyberland. I think it's mainly to keep the trolls off of the board. There was a lot of that stuff happening previously. Now it's pretty much gone completely.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:31am Doug Schulkind:

@trs
I am confused. Do you feel that such "tracking" or "labeling" is taking place here? Or that anything at all is being "promoted"? Because none of that, whatever you mean by it, is happening. WFMU has no interest in any of that crap. In fact, it exists to be an alternative to and a sanctuary from that insidious commodification of humanity.

There's no requirement to have a name to comment. If you leave the name blank, you show up as ?. (possibly confused with the leader of the Mysterions) I echo LJFW. My experience has been positive and I hate social networks like Facebook. Some djs are more active commentators and others never respond to comments. Some web listeners never comment, some are prolific. We're all here for the music anyway.

I suppose that ensuring that this never feels like any kind collective experience could be undermined by reading or participating in the comments. Not engaging with the comments is a pretty good way of maintaining the purity of the radio experience. *shrug*
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:48am Uncle Michael:

Quite so, James.
Avatar 11:49am Carmichael:

@trs: You are now inside of the circle of trust. We'll all be over later this evening for charades and champagne.
Avatar 11:49am Carmichael:

Any time, Dougie. And the other DJs are not so *silent* about it, btw.

Great show Doug.

Once the FMU brain implant is perfected you won't even have to comment. You can just think "This tune sucks." and it will be instantly transmitted to FMU world headquarters.

Either one of our Spencers would enjoy a nice scrub'n'rub.

The next meeting of the clavern will take place shortly at www.wfmu.org...

I hope you'll join me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:51am Doug Schulkind:

The reality is that the overwhelming majority of listeners never comment. Joining in the conversation is totally voluntary. Personally, I adore the interaction. It helps personalize the experience from my end. But no one is compelled to contribute in the comments.

And as someone said earlier, you can always comments without giving a name, if that's preferable.

It is very HARD to remain silent, Carmichael. I wanna shout into the winds.

Avatar 11:57am ndbob:

nope - or one currently - though I hope to find one there - lotsof reasons to move - although there are many great things about North Dakota - I'd like a more intellectually stimulating place - one not so cold - and where advanced medical care is readily available if needed

Does that pledge meter count pledges form last week made during this show?
  12:01pm still b/p:

I downloaded the Stax singles collection a few years ago, but only got around to putting the first few dozen tracks onto CD. Do tracks like the Shack number await me in the remainder?
