As of this weekend, WUMB-FM (91.9) will be playing more music - just don't call that music "folk." The University of Massachusetts-Boston public radio station...
While I'm sorry to see them drop the "folk" label, I think this is probably a good thing for WUMB. Their rather limited rotation has felt stale to me for...
Indeed, and this is why I will no longer be sending them a membership contribution. They were already too electric for me (I hate World Cafe at least 75% of...
Yes . . . the WUMB changes are really depressing me. (And the timing couldn't be worse for me -- I sent in my CD for consideration for airplay literally as...
The minor change sounds like a very good idea to me. Doesn't sound like anything very radical, just freshening things up a bit. Perhaps I'd feel differently if...

Wow. If Neil Young and Lucinda Williams are mediocrity and dreck, I shudder to think what you must have to say about music that's actually bad. Best, Phil...
One member of the NorthEastFolk group - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NorthEastFolk <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NorthEastFolk> - takes that idea one step...
I wish the change were towards musicians like Neil and Lucinda, but WUMB is favoring "artists" more likely to perform at the Paradise rock club than Passim or...
Howdy--- Regarding the 'UMB changes: They've been underway, really, for a while---over the past year or so, they've added artists on both ends of the...
This was on another list. For some time there has be some criticism of the price of CD's. One concern with this is who will get the lion share of the profit,...

Thanks Pam. :) To everyone who didn't get in to the show, I just want to mention two things: 1. Are you on my email list? I suspect most of you are, but if...
