Re: So How Did You Discover Aural Moon?
Yes those early morning faffs in 2003/2004 were the only way to start the day. Unfortunately, since I'm on pacific time, I had to get up at 4 am to do it. I managed to do this for about six months, then I got old. I also got married, which, by default, put an end to getting up at 4 am and hopping on the puter. Steady Stan, tee, jamforte, keith, woj, mortis, sometimes rick, vax, the Spaniards siluencar and david, sometimes lotus? Stan got the theme cooking and we had a good time. Dot, I think I was gone from the routine already when you started doing the morning shift. Good memories indeed.

Additionally, most of the former communist nations' citizens were under communist influence for their entire life. They had no clue as to what life was without it, due to the information constraints in place under the Soviets. Thus, they have the taste for freedom, but no inklings of the responsibilities that go along with those freedoms. One that I've noticed that seems to have taken many, especially from the former CIS states (I've seen this in people from Ukraine, Georgia, and Azerbaijan personally) is that the right to succeed in what you want to do also comes with the unspoken right to fail. During communism, failure wasn't an option, so by definition, one succeeded regardless of the success of the project (see Chornobyl for a perfect example of this at an infrastructure level -- that's a report that'll age you very quickly -- almost as quickly as the event did at the citizens of Pripyat'). With the fall of Communism, people got to see failure for what it really was. Unfortunately, a lot of them weren't able to adjust. The Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) are, of course, exceptions. But then, they've always been exceptions that have annoyed the Russians to no end. Whee. I haven't had a brain dump like that in a long time. Roger -Dot- Lee, Political Science and Prog -- a nice way of spending a balmy summer weekend.

Re: So How Did You Discover Aural Moon?
after discovering you could get music thru the computer i found live365 as well as saw your listing on the progradio.net station listings, listened mostly from home...never went to the site till i got tired of trying to get the music at work and visited hoping for a bit of info...i registered then and finally got music thru windows media player.
then one day in 2003 when you got the new look (gosh i forget what the site looked like before the blue/black design) i was at a seminar and wanted some music during the lunch break...i logged on, saw the new look and the now famous black box registering listeners talking...been great ever since. everyone was so very nice and down to earth, really wonderful people here. i love it! |
