immersive sonic magick with a flowing 1-hour #improv set by setting on last night's frow show, like an appalachian version of the necks (as someone else put it), plus many other strains of wonderment, via the @WFMU archive. https://bit.ly/3Qg5Mxu#freeform#radio#music#jazz
Fyi, if you’re on an iPhone and need to do some basic image compositing, the #Freeform app is very good! I had to combine two separate screenshots of a table header and a table row and it was a cinch to do.
When you first import the images into Freeform there is a grid and it adds rounded corners and a drop shadow to images, but you can uncheck all those options.
still can't believe this is happening: yo la tengo will be on the frow show tomorrow night, 3/12, 9pm-12am ET, playing your requests to help support @WFMU! for $100, yo la tengo will play any song by anybody, so long as they (maybe) remember (some of) it! pledge now, tune in tomorrow! http://pledge.wfmu.org/donate/JJ#freeform#radio#music
extract the beautiful sounds from the air around you with this one simple trick, last night's frow show on @WFMU, 3 hours of wondrous new/old/not-new/not-old music & #freeform#radio. https://bit.ly/3SirIbt
Second arm finished...I'm calling it 'heart on my sleeve' as I've managed to incorporate an anatomical heart and a swirly one. There's a brain at the top...
First sleeve completed apart from a bit of surface work. A lot of Georgia O'Keeffe-type spirals. Big shout out to all the independent dyers and spinners this yarn came from. When it's finished, I'll post links to them.
One yarn I can't get away with is cotton. I had to really force myself to finish this evil eye granny square blanket. It was from Hobbii and 70% off! Was making 2 freeform cushions with leftovers but have hidden them under the bed. I like a bit of give in yarns. Also a super chunky premium acrylic which crocheted up like a board. Never again.
#Yarnuary - my favourite yarns generally are Superwash Merino/nylon blends by independent dyers. This lot are all 4-ply (fingering) weight. The intense red is called 'Furnace' by @mothyandthesquid. Also love anything tactile and soft!
Progress report on new #freeformcrochet project. Top of the back and both arms shown, in double knit hand-dyed merino, also chunky recycled plastic bottles and a bit of metallic/Angora. Inspiration... Georgia O'Keeffe, body parts in a grey/red palette. The rest of the yarn is a lighter 4-ply. I needed a heavier yarn for everything to hang from. Much more surface work to do on the joined scrumbles.
I almost always do a Hanukkah set, and it got away from me this year. Tough year that won't take its foot off of the bulldozer's accelerator, alas. But I needs me Hanukkah set, so, belatedly, here she be... (Screw off, Grammarly.)
Thank you to the wonderful Martina Doerner in Germany for putting BRIGHTER LIGHT on this nice Youtube playlist! It's the title song from my new EP with Rob Stuart.
We're massively overdue for an update to Naikari: Eye of Chaos. This is largely due to personal life events (most notably a legal name change), but that hasn't stopped us from getting some interesting things done for this release!...
This #crochet Firebird was one of the first #freeform projects I did. I based it loosely on a cross between a phoenix and a microraptor, but basically just let my imagination go where it wanted to. Freeform crochet is still my favourite method and it's what I use, mixed with #amigurumi to make custom #toys for people from drawings and photos. #crocheting#fibreart@crochet
It's about time for another update to Naikari: Eye of Chaös, and this is a real nice one! We've had our most productive month in a long time despite having a cold that lasted a week....
Please respond by saying what sorts of TTRPG things you're pretty likely to either talk about or respond to if you see them.
This can be a list of games (D&D! Tribe 8! Fate!) or categories (the weirdest of indie stuff! NSR! Anything PBtA!), topics (Worldbuilding! Publishing!), stuff you're making, meta-commentary (The State Of The Industry), and so on.
Then maybe share, and if the replies are building up, check them for new people.
Every now and again, I put on my lifelong DJ cap and release curated sets via #Spotify & #Deezer or #YouTube, just because. Motivation may be politics, weather, or a mood or thought that hits. No big whoop, just curated #freeform#music, aka life. Donations appreciated: https://cutt.ly/pr6A2Rw, sharing and grooving even more so...

The toy story movies never get old they were some of my favorite movies during my childhood. A Toy Story movie marathon is on at #freeform if you are interested in watching currently Toy Story 2 is on next is Toy Story 3 followed by Toy Story 4. #moviemastodon#moviemarathon
About to make some radio on @WFMU! I’m holding today’s #StartingWithTheSeventies record — tune in promptly at the top of the hour to hear it and some more random older stuff, then stick around for some random newer stuff. It’s three hours of “now what?!”
Listen to #WFMU at 91.1 / 91.9 / 90.1 in NJ / NYC / Rockland County / Catskills / Hudson Valley, or stream online from anywhere at https://wfmu.org. Thank you!
WFMU’s first-ever broadcast aired 65 (‼️) years ago today, on April 24 1958. No one knows anything about it, and a decade would pass before the first stirrings of freeform programming graced our airwaves.
Upsala College shut down nearly 30 years ago but we’re still going strong thanks to the support from all our listeners over the years. Have a piece of cake today, you deserve it! 🍰
‘Cruel Summer’ and ‘Good Trouble’ Canceled at Freeform (www.hollywoodreporter.com)
It’s yet to be determined if the Disney-owned cable network will continue to invest in pricey scripted original programming.
