To Joe's point: the whole terrible capitalist world is fetishizing optimization and efficiency, demanding that all fat be trimmed from all bones. Which leaves you with just a skeleton. Whereas WFMU allows the whole body to breathe -- imperfections, the magic of edges, the things lost in corners ... all part of the magic recipe that somehow brews freeform and joy. I say let the imperfections flower. They're why I pledge, at any rate.
