Pretty Big Place Video Hour: Drinking Milk Episode
February 2, 2012

A new episode of the The Pretty Big Place Video Hour — the monthly TV version of my radio show — is up at FACT-TV. It got stretched to widescreen, as mysteriously happens sometimes. That’s overlookable though.

Shonen Knife – Top of the World (live) | Arcwelder – Missing | Battles – Atlas (live) | Laurie Anderson – Sharkey’s Day (live) | Doomsday (trailer) | Barnes and Barnes – Fish Heads | Gary Numan – Cars | T-Rex – Jeepster (live) | Parry Gripp – Baby Monkey (Going Backwards On A Pig) | Chumbawamba – Tubthumping | Devo – Satisfaction | The Flying Lizards – TV | The Road Warrior (trailer) | The Residents – Hello Skinny | The Minutemen – This Ain’t No Picnic

And oddly enough, it seems that I never posted the previous episode here on the Pretty Big Place website. How did I manage to not do that? And it was such a good one! The most number of views of any so far. You can still see it:

Cocteau Twins – Song to the Siren (live) | The Cult – Rain | Siouxsie & The Banshees – Peek a Boo | Rent-A-Friend | Barry und Hans – Swiff Fruit | Warren Zevon – Excitable Boy (live) | The American Idiot | It’s OK Not to Like Things | Laurie Anderson – Ask A Question | David Bowie – The Man Who Sold The World (live) | Count Basie – Swingin’ the Blues | The Holy Modal Rounders – Bound To Lose documentary trailer | The Mofos – Levitation (live) | Circus Contraption – Stilt Faeries & Carousel | Dusty Springfield – Son of a Preacher Man | The Saints – Stranded | Soda Estereo – Musica Ligera (live)

JOIN WOOL.fm
WOOL is a low-power station, but has won approval from the FCC for a full-power upgrade to serve a larger community in rural southern Vermont and New Hampshire that currently has no local-origination radio programming. This is particularly important when we have local weather emergencies. Big swaths of the countryside around here don't have cable TV, and no broadcast TV reception. With no radio outlet specifically for our region, people are left in the dark when they most need information. Without meaning to be crass, the only thing between here and there is money... and there's a deadline: If we can't do the upgrade within a restricted amount of time, we're going to lose that full-power license. That would suck. Your membership in WOOL.fm will help us meet this goal. Win!

Time was there used to be links in the playlists to Amazon; the idea being that it might help cover the nominal costs of hosting the show and the website. Not doing that anymore. Total bust! Which is OK. Buying directly from the artist or supporting your locally owned music store is far preferable.

If for some wonderful reason you want to support the show directly, you can't. There isn't a mechanism. But you can contribute to general morale if you'd like; music suggestions and submissions are always welcome. Or feel free to explore this little-used wishlist at Amazon for ideas. Just sayin'.

But really, the best thing of all is when you become a member of WOOL-FM — or if you have a business, you can become an underwriter.
