Wfmu:Radio Archival Od

Radio oddities, snippets from 1940-present, strange stuff, radio pranks, news broadcasts from hostage takers, to Lennon's murder, to 911, really strange collection of stuff. All of it is FMU related, either overtly or the subject of an inside joke. This CD was made available only to a few select radio stations, not for sale. Detailed liner notes that, while offering great explanations as to the origin of this stuff, come across pretty damn narcississtic, self congratulatory (admittedly well-deserved in places, not-as-funny-as-they-think-they-are in others).
