WFMU is holding their annual fund raising marathon, and if you are kind enough to donate you might even get some sweet WFMU swag!  Click thru to check out the wonderful prizes you can get for supporting one of the best radio stations in the country! Do it fast!  There are only 3 more days to donate during this years Marathon.

On top of the WFMU Marathon, they are getting ready to Launch the Free Music Archive.  For those unfamiliar with the Free Music Archive here is a little blurb about it (click through for more):

an online digital library of curated music that will allow music fans, webcasters and podcasters to listen, download, and stream for free, with no restrictions, registration or fees. And it will all be legal.

The Free Music Archive is being directed by WFMU, the most renowned freeform radio station in America, and is funded by a grant from the New York State Music Fund.  Radio has always offered the public free access to new music. The Free Music Archive is a continuation of that purpose, designed for the age of the internet.

In honor of this wonderful project:
