Transmitter Work: Dec 12, 2006

FYI, if you're keeping score--I'll be shutting down the WRTC transmitter for a while this morning around 11:30am for some work on the transmitter tower. Perhaps you'll hear our friends up in MA blasting through at the usual frequency. The work should take less than an hour, so we'll be back up asap.

Get this for your favorite dj...

This is the Velvet Undergound Scepter Session Acetate--found at a tag sale and purchased for 75 cents--now on auction at e-bay. Interesting to check out the bid history--from sincere collectors to investors, and a few fakes in between. Apparently, there are FLAC files out there already, so if anyone can point me to them I'd be much oblidged. Here's the entry about this on the WFMU blog.
