All the time. I often ask myself, "Who are these people, and where do they get this stuff?" But whatever oracle they are channeling, may they keep it up, and ever be protected from typical commercialism and marketing techniques.
It's like meeting an old friend that I thought had gone for ever....and now here she or he is...back!
Absolutely. Here in China I can only listen to it over the Internet, of course, but when I feel like I need to get "out of" China and go back to my "old self", turning on FIP does the trick.
Was the best gift my girlfriend gave me.
(It's also great to have in the background while memorizing Chinese characters.)
But a friend has told me about a station broadcasting out of Texas (on the internet)...really...radio...
That would be fantastic. Though I can hardly believe it. When I lived in Austin, I almost lost my mind listening to half hour to 45-minute loops all day long, desperately looking for stations that had more variety and/or taste. (My roommate's sister was a salesperson for Clearwater, and she was the sweetest thing, but at the time I did not realize she was doing the work of the Dark One.)
But shhhhhh! There are ALWAYS evil gits out who want to stop your FREE FUN. They HATE free fun, coz there's no money changing hands.
Someone here must have done a diary about great things that emerge spontaneously for the "pure love it", with no incentives for money, fame, power, etc., that bloom into spectacular yet delicate flowers, but eventually get found out, co-opted, bought out, standardized, corporatized, branded, sterilized, and/or just crushed out. Please let that not happen to FIP. Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
I read an interview once, where some people from here went over and interviewed the FIP people. Turns out (at least back then) that the presenters do six hour slots, but they rotate through the week, so if I was a presenter I might have the 1200-1800 slot one day and then the 2200-0400 slot another. "If you listen carefully," said the interviewer, "you can hear the different tastes and styles."
They have a HUGE musical collection, wrote the interviewer, which all presenters can pick from (and add to, I presume.) Don't fight forces, use them R. Buckminster Fuller.
Oops, that would be Clear Channel.
Must have been conflating Clear Channel and Blackwater. Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
