2011 Marathon Premium Announced

[dave from knoxville]

There have never (in my experience, at least) been any women's sizes available for the Best Show premium. An adult/men's M is gigantic.

Your concern is duly noted, Ms Oyl.

I apologize for any unintended implications. Let me be more specific: an adult/men's M is gigantic on someone who, like many adult women, is barely over five feet tall.

I was just teasing.

As was I. I understand the cost implications, but WFMU should definitely have it's shirts available in ladysizes.

WFMU (and a lot of the other shows) do have them in a different range of sizes. Terre T always has shirts in girlie sizes for example. Best Show's premiums, if there is a shirt, is usually a unisex size, I think.

1) So is the pledge drive next week?
2) How much gets us the premium?
3) How do I pre-pledge? Last time I e-mailed Tom, but he certainly has so much going on I'd rather not bother him with a question he almost certainly always gets asked.

More info from tonight's show: the 7" will be called "Rated GG" and it's cleaned-up covers of GG Allin songs.  Contributors include Ben Gibbard, Ted Leo, F*cked up, and the Mountain Goats.  Will also include digital download link, with bonus tracks.  Poster and t-shirt still in the works, and there's a possible button being added to the pack as well.

Min pledge to get one DJ premium is $75 and the # of DJ premiums you get goes up w/your donation. If you pledge during the show, you can be eligible for prizes. Your pledge gets tallied in Tom's column, so to speak... I think if you pledge at other times and indicate that it's for Best Show it gets counted too, but ITS FUN WHEN YOU DO IT DURING THE SHOW! If you're doing a large amount paid in full you can "adopt" various DJs and fixtures around the station.

Thanks, Christina. I'd donate during the show if I could but I'm at work during those hours. When I pop up on the chat room it's only because of some workplace down time and I'm often hindered in the conversation as I cannot hear the show on the workplace computer. I'll keep an eye out for an envelope from WFMU and will send off my cash the following weekend...

Rated G.G.!!!  What an incredible idea. Can't wait!

[12xu]

Just pledged online.   Does that make me eligible for prizes?

[Martin]

Indeed it does.

[12xu]

Sweet.  So psyched for this year's premium.

Holy smokes!  Gene Simmons!
