Tomorrow night, 1-3 AM Mountain Standard Time (Midnight for the West Coasters, something like 3 for the East Coasters) I don't know what I'll play yet. Probably bass-y stuff, seeing as how it's going to be a friday night.

STREAMING, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.

I might be on the radio too.

You kids with your radio. In my day, the only entertainment we had was walking uphill to and from school in a blizzard! Of kittens!

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #4 on:** 05 Feb 2010, 14:38 »

I'll be on the radio too!

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #5 on:** 05 Feb 2010, 14:39 »

not the same radio though.

KvP · « **Reply #6 on:** 05 Feb 2010, 15:59 »

Yeah, I'll definitely be on the radio tonight.

Knowing me, the playlist will probably be largely electronic. I haven't made it yet, though.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #7 on:** 05 Feb 2010, 18:46 »

I was on the radio once. It was doing a Robert DeNiro impersonation. I was 6.

KvP · « **Reply #8 on:** 05 Feb 2010, 23:51 »

10 minutes!

KvP · « **Reply #9 on:** 06 Feb 2010, 00:47 »

I am crushing it.

My friend Katy had a college DJ gig and I co-hosted with her one time because it was past 11pm therefore school staff didn't give a fuck anymore and she said it was awkward having someone to talk to because she was so used to rambling on and on to herself and assuming no one was listening.

We looked a week later at the stream logs and we had 6 whole listeners! I feel famous.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #11 on:** 06 Feb 2010, 17:08 »

I didn't know KCSU had a website, fancy. It doesn't even just redirect to a CSU page, as far as I can tell. I missed it last night, are you going to be doing it regularly?

KvP · « **Reply #12 on:** 06 Feb 2010, 17:54 »

Yeah. The guy who had the show before me didn't show up, and apparently has been bad about showing up in general, so I may poach his spot.

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #13 on:** 06 Feb 2010, 19:07 »

Is there a playback function because 8am is just not a time that I will be up on a Saturday morning?

KvP · « **Reply #14 on:** 06 Feb 2010, 19:12 »

It might be possible to record shows, I'm not entirely sure. I'll ask.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #15 on:** 06 Feb 2010, 21:35 »

I'm sure your station keeps logs of everything it plays out? I mean, we're a student radio station and we do?

KvP · « **Reply #16 on:** 06 Feb 2010, 21:53 »

We have music logs, for sure. But Rob was asking about playing back shows not currently on air. I don't think we do podcasts and I don't know if we record our shows, generally.

Spluff · « **Reply #17 on:** 06 Feb 2010, 22:13 »

Would you mind posting up the log of songs? There were some pretty good songs in there I'd like to investigate.

KvP · « **Reply #18 on:** 07 Feb 2010, 00:35 »

Here are the two CDs I burned for the show. For the most part I went from the first track on A to the first track on B, track 2 on A to track 2 on B, etc.

What I meant was we keep up back ups of everything that's played, so if you want to grab it after you've done your show you can access the computer and grab the relevant sets of 15 minutes from our 'megatron' computer (that's how it should work theoretically anyway). I'm not sure how long we keep the shows afterwards.

KvP · « **Reply #20 on:** 07 Feb 2010, 14:03 »

I don't know if we've got whole shows, but we certainly have a majority of our music in an electronically-accessible vault. I burn my own CDs for my show though.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #21 on:** 10 Feb 2010, 02:53 »

Yeah, I generally do too. We don't have much accessible music in the studio.

I might be on air in 1 hour!

KvP · « **Reply #22 on:** 12 Feb 2010, 20:07 »

I am on again! same url (kcsufm.com) in 4 hours, approximately!

pilsner · « **Reply #23 on:** 12 Feb 2010, 20:30 »

Out of curiosity, how is the station managing rights to the music?

KvP · « **Reply #24 on:** 12 Feb 2010, 20:46 »

We play what's sent to us, and what we have hard copies of. mp3s are frowned upon. I'm not sure what the nuts and bolts of our policy are.

KvP · « **Reply #25 on:** 12 Feb 2010, 23:47 »

15 minutes! listen if you like.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #26 on:** 12 Feb 2010, 23:59 »

Oh hey, I forgot about this, and came on just in time to be reminded.

KvP · « **Reply #27 on:** 13 Feb 2010, 00:20 »

Object lesson: If you're going to be taking requests, be prepared to play fucking MGMT.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #28 on:** 13 Feb 2010, 00:21 »

Just be glad nobody has requested Anal Cunt.

KvP · « **Reply #29 on:** 13 Feb 2010, 00:33 »

How am I doing so far?

Nodaisho · « **Reply #30 on:** 13 Feb 2010, 00:39 »

The commentary is sparser than most DJs I know of, but I've never listened to KCSU before, so that might be the way it normally is, and it works well with the kind of music you are playing.

KvP · « **Reply #31 on:** 13 Feb 2010, 00:44 »

Heh, it's also early in the morning and I'm liable to make more mistakes the more I talk

when I get to a better timeslot, I'll be doing more gabbing. Right now I like to let the music do the talking.

I've already got some great modern opera lined up for next week. If anybody has any fairly decent-sounding songs of theirs they want on the radio early in the morning in small-town Colorado, let me know. FCC regulations apply. No inciting of drug use, no sexually explicit material and no swearing. I'm serious about that, btw- the fines we'd have to pay for one slip-up would take up our entire budget for the year.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #32 on:** 13 Feb 2010, 16:24 »

Jesus? Really? That's intense.

Man, if we were fined every time there was a swear word in one of our songs or someone swore on air...

I am very guilty of this.

De_El · « **Reply #33 on:** 13 Feb 2010, 17:33 »

So wait, John, is your show regular, like weekly, or what? Or do you just dj when you dj?

Nodaisho · « **Reply #34 on:** 13 Feb 2010, 17:39 »

So far it has been Friday night/Saturday morning at 1AM mountain time, so 3AM Eastern or midnight Pacific. I think it would be 8AM GMT, but I'm not sure enough of how daylight savings works with regards to GMT.

Yeah they're not fucking around. FCC formal complaint's something like $300,000. Our annual operating budget is around a quarter mil.

KvP · « **Reply #36 on:** 19 Feb 2010, 20:35 »

Hey so I'm on again tonight. If the 11 PM dude doesn't show up then the timeslot's mine next week. Hopefully that happens. But for tonight I'm still on at 1 AM, which is a good 3 hours and 25 minutes or so from the time of this posting.

KvP · « **Reply #37 on:** 20 Feb 2010, 00:02 »

Going on in a few minutes!

I would tune in, but it says I need WMP 11 =\

Is it worth it?

Edit: nevermind, I just needed some stupid plugin. Derp.

KvP · « **Reply #40 on:** 26 Feb 2010, 23:59 »

For anyone interested, my weekly radio show will begin on Thursday March 11th or 18th (might not be around on the 11th) from 2-4pm EST. It streams online at wxbc.bard.edu through itunes or windows media player or whatever. The show is called The William Walker Weekly Revue and it features a whole bunch of ambient, drone, psychedelic, noise, post-rock, electronics a la Maryanne Amacher, and other stuff. Gonna try to run the gamut of the genres running from ultra subdued (Stars of the Lid) to totally harsh (The Holy See). So uh...tune in in a couple weeks maybe?

pilsner · « **Reply #42 on:** 27 Feb 2010, 13:48 »

You guys should just post mp3s of the broadcast, or better yet start a podcast. I'm pretty sure that a lot of folks on the forum are like me in that they're not used to listening to things as they are actually happening.

De_El · « **Reply #43 on:** 27 Feb 2010, 14:21 »

Yeah, and John's show is on at an inconvenient time for me to actually listen to it cus usually around that time on Friday nights I'm not really anywhere that I am in control of what's being listened too. Or my state is a bit too altered for me to remember that it's happening. I kind of wish I'd remembered one of the past few weeks, but at least there's yr blog, I guess.

I'm afraid that I'm gonna have a similar problem. Like, starting this week I'm gonna have a weekly radio show at 8-10pm GMT-6, but I feel like half the people I've tried to tell about my show are going to be getting ready for parties or just doing their own Saturday night thing instead of listening to my silly college radio show.

De_El · « **Reply #44 on:** 27 Feb 2010, 15:50 »

Oh man I forgot to adequately pimp my show.

It is called "The Worst Toilet in Scotland." It is Saturdays from 8-10pm GMT-6, that is, Central Standard Time. (That means the first one is tonight!!)

I am co-hosting with a friend of mine. We'll probably play lots of disco-derivative electronic dance music, some dubstep, some post-punk, assorted lo-fi shit, noise and noise-pop. This fella and I are still feeling out what to play, but when all else fails, we'll go with our guts and play what we love. We spent a good hour and a half yesterday talking about various ambient stuff so we'll probably throw on some Boards of Canada or the Field at some point. The point is, I'm really excited, and I hope a few of you decide to listen.

On the off chance you're in the Twin Cities area, you can listen on 91.7 fm

otherwise stream it via media player here:

alex, yours needs better pr and maybe a female guest dj. just sayin!

De_El · « **Reply #47 on:** 06 Mar 2010, 11:59 »

A certain female guest dj, or will any one do? I'm sure we can grab a gel from the hallway outside the station if we need to. What kind of pr do you mean? I mean, we send out the occasional facebook reminder and there are a few leaflets around the local area, but I'm not sure what else to do.

I was a radio DJ in highschool.
I received requests in the form of threats but pretty much all we had was the Good Morning Vietnam soundtrack.

So? That movie had a lot of good music on it.
