LINCOLN CENTER, NEW YORK — Well, we here at the station are still riding on the high of WFMU’s broadcast from Damrosch Park last night, really one spectacular show all around. Hope you all caught it either in person or on the air/netwaves. Perfect weather, fantastic, grooving crowd of five or six thousand, and a stellar night with the Ex, Getatchew, Mahmoud & company. Trent and I each put some sets up on Flickr more to follow on FMU’s page later I am sure. It’s been a summer to remember in terms of live music in NYC, that’s for sure. [WFMU]
