It was rough, people, but I managed to figure out the playlist for last week's fundraising show mess. Let me take a second to thank everyone who pledged either by phone or by the WMBR website! You guys are the best! Also, thanks a heap to my stellar phone answerers, CD unscramblers, and chair fixers: longtime friend & supporter of WMBR and Coffeetime Lynn M; Charlie of Research & Development; Ed of Biologue; Chris, Larry, Mark, and The Mighty Slim of Lost & Found; and anyone else I've spaced out on remembering!
