Radio Metachat gets it's own page. To celebrate I'll be doing a session in about 10 minutes time so check in and check it out.
Alright, I don't mean to sound like a broken record here, but you're hitting all the right grooves! The Creation, 10cc, and FOW are all regulars on the stereo at the Slack house. And to think I was just going to play a mix disc this afternoon...
In the 45 or so minutes I was able listen you played so much damn good stuff. This might as well as been a telethon, because when I heard 999 I broke out the PayPal sent over a few bucks.
When Scott Walker's take on "Jackie" came on I forgot that this wasn't one of my mixes. And i have never heard anyone else even make a reference to Chomsky, and you even played my favorite song off the album.
I'm also giddy as all hell to get behind the controls and take this thing for a spin.
Hey, missed the show ;(
Anyways, have you thought of using a p2p broadcaster??
That'd take the strain off of your bandwidth. Peercast comes to mind, though there are others. If people dl the client (I think it's like 2 meg) they help support the load (works like bittorrent), and people can also tune in shoutcast style if they don't have the client. So it's pretty much win-win.
Bravo, you artful dodgy...
I was at home on dialup with itunes... got lots of 'buffering' interruptions whenever I did anything else online, but even with the uncomfortable silences (and a couple abrupt transitions - I assume that's my buffer's problem), it was mucho entertainamente!
(Okay, the Buddy Rich "The Beat Goes On" was a little too cheesy for a non-Dr.Demento set)
Wish I could do some Radio myself but not until I get better connected... I just successfully uploaded my first file to yousendit after three attempts (music post coming, but it may take a while).
And also thanks for contributions - you guys never cease to amaze me.
If you're interested in DJing then please e-mail me and I'll try and get you sorted out. Please be patient with me at the moment as I'm quite busy but I will get back to you all as soon as I can.
