The Future of When. Marathonin’. (Week 2)

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

It always seems like a bit of a whirlwind to me each time, but yet again, our Marathon has come, and with it, another chance to show listeners what we do, how we do it, and give you a chance to get a little something out of the deal, too. This year was no exception, of course, and we made it a point to try and get all vinyl records as Prizes this year, and the fact that Sun Ra Boxed set didn’t last long is a sign I’m doing something right.

We continue to work our way through The Future of The Past, with more inclusions from records that were given away to donating listeners. A few folks mentioned in the Digital Salon that they even got the Sheena’s keychain, and for that we are grateful, as it is very fetching, and will look good any way you use it.

This mix gets nice and thick, and aside from a couple of tech issues involving a Velvet Underground CD and whatnot, we get really into Nuclear Power, Sinclair’s Dinoland, and many other aspects of the way the past saw the future. We cap things off with a future-forward past performance from the beginning of March, where Mini-Mutations tackled some of these same themes… in front of an audience.

We manage to raise a fair amount of money, and we gave away almost everything. That’s not a bad way to cap off a Marathon.

 

 

Be Seeing You.
