KPFK has just begun its fall fundraiser and we have some very sweet premiums for listeners of Melting Pot, which will raise funds on 10/10/10 & 10/17/10. First up for pledges of $125 is the Melting Pot 4 Pack of CDs, all brand new releases from the past month, all from artists as independent as KPFK.

Aloe Blacc – Good Things (Stones Throw)
Dungen – Skit I Allt (Kemado)

Additionally many of us at the station will be talking about this one, for a pledge of $150 to KPFK, the Fela Kuti 6 Pack of releases from 1977-1980. Knitting Factory has been reissuing Fela’s discography and these records are amongst his best.

The winner will be drawn at the end of the fundraiser, your odds on winning are going to be frightfully good (probably 1/25)!
We’ll also have several special add-on ticket giveaways to some amazing upcoming shows, but these will only be for new subscribers to KPFK…Tune in this Sunday for your chance to win and thank you for supporting KPFK!
