New Shows

[Extended Play]

Good points about show playlists and the amateur nature of the station, spaz (no personal knocks, as everyone is VERY professional, it's b/c we're not doing this for money). I have near the same amount of CDs (of which, maybe 60% is prog). So, I run into the same problems. Of course, we do also have the Aural Moon archive at our behest. I just need to make better use of it. (cue the King Crimson/Frank Zappa comments)

Music "designed" for headphones is such a misnomer.

Thus my quotation marks.

3) I'm not sure if I understand what a "little something" means. If you mean donating CD's I see no relevance in that relating to having a show.

Just simply meant folks with shows and maintainance "positions." R.L is in charge of new music, and I will soon assume the responsibility of adding all the missing album covers (which actually will take a long time to do...). Counting donated music, then dozens do a "little something."

5) The size of your library is irrelevant if you were "spinning" tunes already on the Moon.

Excellent point. There will be a lot of already-on-the-Moon stuff, but also a lot of not-on-the-Moon stuff.

6) If AM is amateur, is it contradictory to say that you have experience?

Nope. (First, I don't mean to imply that AM sounds amateur. Just that no one, not even Avian or Jim, works on this thing 50+ hours a week). I didn't work at a college station. I worked at a "real" commercial station for four years: WHJT Alive 93.5 in Jacktown, MS. When I say that that was professional and this is amatuer, I mean that I'm limited to what I own, rather than what the station's ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC licenses cover. Plus I'm limited to my $100 software, crappy computer mic, and free time, rather than $100,000 studio and getting paid to do it.

I know it sounded like a personal attack, Spaz, but I am not afraid to voice my opinion.

That what I like about you Rick. You're not afraid to voice your opinion. Neither am I. I might disagree with you, often, and strongly at times, but I respect you. Keep me on my toes, friend.

[b]In spite of his monicker, I'm quite sure that Yesspaz won't be playing "All Yes All The Time".
Quite the opposite, I'd say. He might do the occasional track off of 'Tales', but I suspect his format will be directed much more toward Don Cab, GY!BE, and other new-agey/classic-prog/synth type music. [b]

Pretty dead on there R.L. I'll definitely feature a lot of classic stuff, and a lot of new stuff. But that doesn't mean it'll be a Don Cab and GYBE! fest. There'll hopefully be a lot of "Whoa, who is that band!" type stuff going on...


Alrighty folks. I've ruffled enough feathers today. Later
