Title: WFMU blog
Post by: courtney on June 27, 2008, 12:31:34 AM: Grrr... Anyone else having trouble accessing this?

I finally have a couple of free hours at the end of a night and I want to peruse ridiculous mp3s and read about stuff not usually read in Nebraska .....

*EDIT* Never mind. It's up again. Sorry to bother peeps.

Ha, I looked at this thread expecting somebody to be sticking up for the blog. In the back of my mind I was already formulating a response that cited "Archie Club news" as a prime example.

Post by: courtney on June 30, 2008, 09:41:06 AM: Wow, I guess I didn't realize people here don't like the blog!

I genuinely wanted to look at it.

I've found some great stuff there, too. I don't always read the posts and the hoo-haw, but I like the live performance mp3s & whatnot.

Ah well, I guess that's what makes me me and everyone else everyone else!

The signal-to-noise ratio isn't any worse than, say, AST's - either of those requires a certain time commitment, which you're willing to make or you aren't. Jason (the man behind Chinatown) has compared it to the golden-era 'FMU message board (which I missed) and found it wanting, and that's his perogative. Doesn't have to make it any less entertaining for you.
