I believe you are correct. Other DJs are on staff, but they aren't paid for their shows. Clay is the only one paid for his show.

Ha! I have listened to Clay since his Dusty Show days. I like some of his musical selections.

I like Gin and Juice (childhood nostalgia) and Clay plaid it back in 2017: www.wfmu.org...

Every DJ has their own tastes. That's what makes WFMU beautiful.

Oh yes. And my understanding is that Jessica stocks that in her role as Music Director.

And, based on what I have heard and seen, DJs write on the music to let others know what's good, what to avoid, what to dump, etc.

I try to imagine the disembodied voices shaking a CD at Clay saying, "You will make them the Artist of the Week. Understood."

That's such a positive outlook. I am a cynical Pauline Kael fan who loves ripping things a new one (a little too much maybe... struggling to reform) who became more cynical from being dunked into the world of terrible unregulated 10-watt college radio in the 90s.

Ahhhh! Yeah. If it sounds good, it's good for you. If it sounds bad, it's bad. Music is wonderfully subjective. And WFMU, thankfully, let's DJs do whatever they want as long as they follow FCC rules.

Great! We'll get you up and coding. All the best! Yes. I'll see you on the boards or connect and I would be happy to help you if I can.

Clay slips in some of his own selections here and there but I think they also get filtered.

building a db for a friend who has a sh*tton of records he wants to sell online. It's fun but it pays crap. i want it up and running for him in two weeks so i can get a jobby job.

/but it's a lot of fun to go through the records....

I have such a soft spot for this. I sent the album to my older daughter when she was in college and she ended up writing some songs influenced by these sounds. I think she submitted for a class with Nina Katchadourian. <3

So professional and pain. ;-)

Nice. That sounds like a fun project for the records alone.

What type of work are you looking for?

Actually, I like that list. Unlike much of FMU's music, I actually recognize some of that stuff. That's nice sometimes. And Convoy? Who doesn't like Convoy?
