WFMU in Signal To Noise: Their Favorite Things
The current issue (#50) of the excellent experimental and improvised music magazine Signal To Noise prominently features a terrific article on your favorite Freeform Radio avatars (that's us). Writer Jesse Jarnow spent some quality time with us during our 2008 fundraising Marathon back in March, earned our trust, and got some choice quotes to accompany his keen observations (and largely accurate historical details). A few of us even got our pictures in the paper, thanks to the very pleasing photographic efforts of Caroline Bell. Not Station Manager Ken though - he got cut out of the group shot, probably because of the ridiculous slogan on his "funny" t-shirt.
The entire article, as jpgs:

And here's the whole thing as a single pdf (thanks Doron!)
Lovely, quite lovely.

Man, I just gotta know what Ken's shirt said.
Also, can anyone spot the annoying typo on the last page?

It takes two to tengo? Last Tengo in Paris? Love this month's issue of STN, but it's loaded with typos, not just this one. It's also got some great articles and reviews, so go get a copy if you don't have one!

That's one big ass haemorrhoid pillow.

Hey, I'd like to know what Ken's shirt said, too! The photographer only sent me one group shot with Ken, who was wearing a buttoned-up plaid flannel shirt, but the alternate shot that didn't include Ken (maybe he hadn't shown up yet?) was so much sharper that I reluctantly decided to use that one instead. I do apologize for any and all typos (and sure enough, "some douche" will always point them out), though I must say our new copy editor has improved our performance in that area by enormous leaps and bounds. C'mon, we're not the New Yorker, we're a mostly volunteer staff with families and day jobs, cant y'all cut us a little slack? Seriously though, I hope some of you will be inspired to check out the rest of the mag ... we busted our asses making this, and it's meant for people just like you!!!
