Listen to your weird kvr friends on EMC Radio

[deaf dunderkwac]

hmmm, if you were a broadcast station you wouldn't have any issue about 'new' material, as you would be deluged with it.

I personally listen solely to be exposed to music I wouldn't otherwise
be exposed to. This music isn'tbeing dissseminated by the normal paths
which filter out all the vurts of the world (bad example - there's clearly only one!) and push the {edit-{Blank 187}} and the like.

oh, that we could live in a world full of vurt & company

[runagate]

Here's what it says up on the top page atm.
Feel free to cajole me into changing it whenever you see fit:





I've made it easy. I have trouble navigating their site so here's some links:

Once on the site hit the Winamp or Windows Media Player links at the bottom.

EMCRadio is now a licenced radio station

Here is where you submit songs to be played

Read about & vote for your ElecticMeme DJ

On their schedule Hangout denoted the time when KVR and The Auditorium people's music is being played, including the Music Cafe monthly contest songs

Techbot says that EMC Radio needs more submissions!
Only 180 artists thus far have submitted songs and more are needed.

Cool- I have another idea here.
I'm not one for rules for the sake of em, but where would the monthly competition be without em.

And in this case it might put a litlle structure to the project and give it a sense of identity. It might even embue it with a community spirit.

Hows about?--- Any time someone wants to contribute a tune they also have to recommend another artists tune, post the recommendation at either of the submission pages and contact the artist.

Should the artist not wish to have their tune added ( has only ever happened once), no problem but at the least the contributer made the recommendation and wrote the PM. It would create a wee bit of quality control without resorting to censorship.
Meanwhile the quality control is not down to one or a group of individuals but every participant. The radio repetoire becomes as interative as the actual playlists via requesting.

Techbot or somebody made this sticky and enthused about this code here so I edited it in:
{I don't know how to code this stuff so if anyone understands why it's formatted weird with text
fighting with the EMC Radio icons feel free to post it here.}

I made these html things you can put on your myspace pages if you want to link to EMC Radio if you've submitted songs to be played on there. Just edit them into your bio or somewhere

<a href="http://212.72.165.23:9066/listen.pls"><img src="http://s1.sigamp.com/users/Techbot/newsig.png" align="left"></a>

<a href="
http://www.eclecticmeme.com/index.htm"><img src="http://www.eclecticmeme.com/images/emc23.gif" align="center"></a>

And here's how I added a button to link to EMC Radio's request page for my songs.
Just find where your songs are on the request pages and paste your link over mine here:


<a href="http://87.192.229.248/eclecticmeme/php/ ... gate"><img src="http://www.eclecticmeme.com/images/aniw ... black2.gif" align="right"></a>

And if you want to see what this looks like (I am very, very non-web-savvy! I don't get how to format stuff yet) it's the same code on all of my band pages so lookie here and see what it's like:
MySpace URL:

http://www.myspace.com/briarmonsmetrach3

Somebody else should gimme their myspace url that uses this code as an example that I can edit
in here I don't want to subject people to my l33t html non-skillz all the time.

Note the request button on the lower right of the homepage.
Request a weird kvr friend's music and there's even a field so that you
can dedicate the song and send a message, such as,
"Yo! This one goes out to all my homies in Düsseldorf, right‽‽‽"
(note the all-important use of the "interrobang" punctuation)

Techbot, I'm using Opera as a browser atm and the "now playing" page is floating several inches to the right!

BTW the Breus Arrizabalga Quintet is freakin' dope.

Same here. Same in Maxxthon and Avant browsers as well.

1) Runagate you are the only person who regurly mentions other peoples tunes here.

This is the singular most important act that anyone can do. It has taken me this long to realise it.

I am not familiar with all the music on the station and I normally depend on BendyBones and Positivepixee to warn me of tunes that need to be remixed or remastered (by the contributer not us) before they are played again , tunes that should have their rotation policy turned down low

and tunes that we should follow up on, ie who wrote it? have they more ? Are they part of a netlabel that produces similar stuff of high standard and of course their rotation policy is turned up to high

2) I have downloaded Opera and see the issue. before I go near it -- Was this always the case or is it something I did in the past day or so?

3) Glassback can you post download links for Max and Avante. I googled but I got discussions about.... rather than the proper websites., Rather than go looking I have a several things on my morning to do list first , so if the links where here later I could follow it up in between jobs.

4) I finally got a 7 day week 24 hours script for the radio station program. It defaults to the hangout hour show and with a few lines of code and a comment-out here and there, I can add regular or once off shows without any hassle

Because I don't have a development-test machine, I am hesistant to over-test .
I am letting it trigger on the hour to initiate shows rather than every few minutes to test it doing so. Which means the debugging will take weeks not hours. But it should be fairly straightforward.

This I hope is the end of a wee exponential growth of complexity that has taken place over the past month.

With schedules in place, I hope that content, format and style become the main issues not technical ones. I of course will continue working to ensure the smooth running of the project from a technical side. But I can't help but feel this is where things get interesting.

5) You(tm) has produced two hour-long shows for EMCradio that break the mould. They are neither a disperate collection of tunes nor a single hour long epic. They are a hour long journeys into sound, with breaks and beats and funkyness and collage and ambience and drones and jokes all blended with an unmistakeble You(tm)ness.

He has promised 9 shows to the series - one a month.

No doubt- at some point we will play All 9 back to back.

Meanwhile You(tm), TotalCult from The auditorium, myself and others on the project have made radio jingles for the shows.

So we have pieces ranging from 20 secs to 1 hour written specifically for the radio. Their lenght alone should present artistic possiblilities not present in the 3 to 20 minute format that is oh so yesteryear

I'm thinking phoney commercials, poetry, audio experiments that are too short to warrant a full tune,but could easily be turned into a jingle if "Be write back" or "Don't touch that dial" were appended to them.

6)I'm working on the Netalbels material at present. Anybody want to suggest netlabels that would be worth checking out.

Is there musicians here, who are already signed who would be interested in having some of their labels catalog on the station. remeber we do pay royalties now.

At some point in the future we might start actively contacting labels out there. But that's for when the project looks and feels more Pro. (EMCradio Pro Ver 1.0- I like it).

hmmm, if you were a broadcast station you wouldn't have any issue about 'new' material, as you would be deluged with it.

To be honest I don't think its coz we are not a broadcast station.

It is because we are all new at this. Most people don't know about the project. I like to think our success or failure is something we control, it is not based on a format or medium limitation.

That was the first time I'd seen that happen, so no, it's not a regular thing.

[AndreasE]

I finally got a 7 day week 24 hours script for the radio station program.

And what about the rest of the week?

[Glassback]

I finally got a 7 day week 24 hours script for the radio station program.

And what about the rest of the week?

On the eighth day machine just got upset
A problem man had never seen as yet
No time for flight, a blinding light
And nothing but a void, forever night

He said: Behold what man has done
There's not a world for anyone
Nobody laughed, nobody cried
World's at an end, everyone has died
Forever amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)

The html prob is fixed, I didn't finish uploading some pages last night apparently.

Interesting comparing the different browsers. Explorer does not like the code but it at least works.

The rest are fine, one or two differences, but since two browsers might display it one way and the other two another, means that it not the browsers fault and eventually they might look uniform throughout.

As I said the schedulng is under way:

Here is what we've got so far.

The Hangout Hour :
Random selection of tunes collated from the forums. No commercial tunes
http://www.eclecticmeme.com/Book.htm

Once a week repeated to accomodate time zones fetauring new entries and best of old comps. No commercial tunes.
http://www.eclecticmeme.com/kvr/index.htm

A Netlabels Inc:
Random selection from Netlabels archive. No commercial tunes
http://www.eclecticmeme.com/link_netlabels.htm

http://www.eclecticmeme.com/Radio-movement.htm

Repeats of Down with the Chairman and NTNS and other shows that we come across that we can rebroadcast. I will have to resort things with Intel at NTNS. Because everything went the way they did, I have not downloaded any of his recent shows. But I will get on the case.

http://www.eclecticmeme.com/NTNS.htm
http://www.eclecticmeme.com/Radio-Down- ... airman.htm


If anyone else who knows of shows open to rebroadcast let me know.

But more important anybody got any other ideas for shows???????

indeed, tis what m refering too. Once the format is generally accepted, you too will be deluged with material

[Techbot]

I'm goona try some script testing now. When I did it yesterday the machine crashed. So if it happens again you know why.
