For those of you who don't feel like clicking the site. here's his plea on his homepage: "The T1 connection that I've used for the Crap From The Past archives for the past two years or so is disappearing as of June 30th. At this stage, we're looking for donated server space (about 25 GB) in a permanent location with a reasonably fast connection. If you have space and bandwidth and would like to help keep this resource alive, please contact Ron Gerber at [e-mail]"

That's Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber.

Crap from the Past and the Jazz Image make late-night radio great in the Twin Cities. Yes, they're very different shows, but there's something wonderful about listening music from the Dakota jazz club late Saturday night after hearing music from a Lake Street garage sent to outer space the previous night.

And, finally, RIP Cosmic Slop.

[I linked the "about ron" and "about crap" pages on the fpp so people can get some backstory]

afiler, it was fun to click on those playlists at random and see how many songs I recognized.

Thank you Jessanym, I suppose I could have added more but it was too early in the morning to think. Also I know this is a double post, go here

Can I say this is a crappy post, wheelieman?
(Be careful, jess, now everybody's going to want you to fix their FPPs)
