In the world we live in there are not many things left that can be described as “pure”. WFMU (wfmu.org) is one of those that still can. I first discovered WFMU over a year ago when a friend of mine turned me on to Seven Second Delay, one of their radio shows. Ever since I have been a supporter of the station. Do I like everything they play? No. Hell, I hardly like anything that they play, but I do not support WFMU because of the music the play, rather the principle they support. There is a phrase that they are very proud of at WFMU, and that is “Listener supported”. That’s a term we have all learned to associate with PBS, but even at its most honest PBS isn’t listener supported. While it may be true that they rely on our support for a small amount of their budget, I hardly think that if a few hundred of us didn’t pledge that PBS would suffer...

It’s funny how we forget about these things when we grow up, but I remember a time when Sesame Street was a show I used to wait in happy anticipation for. Here are a few things I found today, courtesy of a WFMU Blog Post:Yip Yip Martians Brrring – AudioYip Yip Martians Computer – AudioYip Yip Martians Computer – VideoPS – I still get excited when I hear the Sesame Street theme song. Awe.
