My part of the KPFK fundraiser began on what many hope is an auspicious date. Our fundraising yesterday wasn’t quite what I hoped, but raising funds on a show that’s been on air for less than 6 months and doesn’t really have a audience is a challenge to say the least. All I can do is try to get music that I think is amazing and hope that in playing great music week after week, people will feel like this show and this station are a valued part of their lives. Virtually all the music was available for subscribers this week, less so next week, and everyone who subscribes gets entered into my sweepstakes 20 of the best releases of 2010, 4 tickets to a show (I’ll be announcing which one this week, just waiting for confirmation) and $50 Amoeba certificate. Spent a lot of time on the music of Fela this week, feel very thankful to have this group of releases to offer. Hope you enjoy the show and remember you can pledge online to support Melting Pot and KPFK.
