Earl Grey - Hot January 26, 2005 Thanks again for your outpouring of support. We have heard some great stories from the volunteers who were out and about yesterday, giving away bumper stickers and such. We're looking forward to seeing cars around town with the stickers on them. I wore my "89.3" baseball cap to the gym and could have sold it right off my head! Fun! (If you want one, you'll need to become a member.)

Earl Grey Silver Tip from the TeaSource may in fact be one of the finest things in the world. However, for an even quicker pick-me-up, I heartily suggest their Mauritius black tea. It's a vanilla-flavored tea that finishes brewing in thirty seconds after the water hits the leaves. For the tea freak in a rush, it may in fact be the perfect drug.

Posted by: Drew J at January 26, 2005 10:06 AMAbout member goodies.... How do we go about getting the caps if we ARE memebers? Any other exciting merchandise on the horizon? Posted by: Mick at January 26, 2005 10:08 AMDitto on TeaSource's Earl Gray. Anything they have is outstanding. Just like the mix on 89.3. Posted by: MM at January 26, 2005 10:23 AMSorry Molly! I was one of the voluneteers who was downtown yesterday. We ran out of bumper stickers at 5:45pm and "window clings" at 6:15pm. We were cold and there wasn't much foot traffic so we left a little early. Betcha someone from the station will send you one if you tell us where to send it. Or you can stop by the station from 8-5pm M-F and pick one up in the front lobby -- 45 East Seventh Street (NE corner of 7th and Cedar) in downtown St. Paul. Posted by: Jeff the MPR engineer at January 26, 2005 10:58 AMI have been anxiously anticipating the new sounds coming over my radio. I have not been disappointed! I enjoy the variety and the opportunity to hear music I otherwise might not have heard. Keep up the fantastic job, Thorn!!! Posted by: Kim at January 26, 2005 01:12 PMLuckily, I drive right past Excelsior and Lake on my way home...scored 6 Bumperstickers (they were still setting up their sign) and I had the sticker on my car within 20 minutes... I'm giving my extras out to whoever wants 'em. Spread the love! Posted by: Darren at January 26, 2005 01:50 PMOn the issue of membership and swag, I re-joined MPR the minute I heard about the 89.3 project in December. Now I'm wishing I'd waited after reading the material on your FAQs and membership page. How can I make sure that my $$$ are going to support you guys? How can I get a bumper sticker in the SW 'burbs? By the way, if you can't tell, I love the station even tho I'm out of the demographic. Posted by: Chris L at January 26, 2005 01:58 PMI'm almost sad that I'm already an MPR member---hard to become a founding member of my new favorite station when I'm already paying beyond my means to support MPR. Posted by: AmyC at January 26, 2005 02:38 PMI have a comment regarding yesterday's blog entry, but decided it better to post my comment today since it's no longer yesterday. When asked for speciality show suggestions, most listeners suggested existing or former shows from other stations, and several were disgruntled at the idea of one genre of music throughout the show. And in response to today's entry, I like Earl Grey tea too, and I'll be looking to get some bumper stickers. Posted by: Emily at January 26, 2005 05:57 PMToday I listened to Low, Dean Martin, REM and Billi Holiday. How fantastic is that? There is nowhere else in this town (or very few towns in the U.S.) that you can hear that type of variety. Please, do not change that. Boring? Never! Posted by: Greg H. at January 26, 2005 07:38 PMUnbelievable! Excellent mix Mark!! LeTigre, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, Bellwether... Merci beaucoup pour la musique fraçais à 9h30!!! :) Posted by: Emily at January 26, 2005 09:32 PMThis station is amazing! The variety is simply wonderful; too few radio stations appreciate the combination of music genres. Keep up the interesting mixes!!! (And, another plug for the Tea Source: best stuff in town.) Posted by: Marin at January 26, 2005 10:05 PMI LOVE the new mpr format! I have listened to MPR for years, as well as KFAI, but have never heard anything i like as much as 89.3. I have only one question: would you be able to put the artist/song title on the webstream (WMP)? I've seen that on several online radio stations/webstreams and it's nice. Keep up the great work! Posted by: matt at January 27, 2005 04:35 PMWe are a couple of transplanted Minnesotans, living in Ithaca, NY, and we listen to the Current non-stop on the online. Thank you for this service! Posted by: kirsten at February 5, 2005 10:48 PMMaybe i will Stay in Minneapolis. Posted by: Yakob at February 13, 2005 07:44 PM

Tragedy!
Posted by: Molly at January 26, 2005 10:04 AMI went to get my very own bumper sticker--I worked like crazy to get out of the office by 6:30--I visited Pantage and First Ave, but there were no bumper stickers, just drunken conventioneers from Le Meridien. Did the downtown volunteers run out of bumper stickers before the 7 pm close?
