Who's a DJ?
 
I'd imagine that on a Sonic Youth board that practically everyone must be a dj, but I'm asking specifically about radio, in particular if you have a stream or not.

My show, What's This Called? is on KPSU in Portland (these days, it was on KAOS in Olympia from '93 to '03 and I did other shows before that starting with KUGS in Bellingham in 1985) and it streams online, plus there's an archive where you can download previous shows.

Who else??

im a jockey of discs too. i used to hav a show in dublin on a pirate radio station callrd alcies restaurant, later then xfm (not the english station). that lasted about a year. ran an idie/punk club in dublin city with mates called dazed, that ran for a long time and now am trying to get something happening down here in my local small town of wexford.

im trying to get the local radio station to allow me to play but they have no intrest saying that "we already cater for independant music because we play coldplay, busted, u2 and nirvana" they dont have a clue and are more interested in keeping housewives and farmers happy by shit programming and death announcements.......

a podcast maybe a future project tho......

I just got a gig, starting in January, on our town's "free" underground station. I get to play and say anything I want, according to the "boss." I get 3 hours a week, Thurs. 9-midnight. Unpaid, but this should be a blast. I'm thinking of reading a passage from Naked Lunch between sets.

i hire and fire the dj's at my college radio station (klsu). occasionally, i go on with a friend and do a late night experimental show.

I used to have a show on a Pirate Station.

Tell us more about this Chout. I'm quite interested in Pirate radio.

I take it you don't stream, or you would have mentioned that, eh?

Me but not In that form. I know how to DJ dance music.

That's what I'm doing. A skulls and bones station, beginning in January. The most fascinating thing about it, for me, is that I have complete freedom. I can say and play anything for three hours one night every week.

actually, we do, but our website is a mess right now and we're on automation, so mosltly boring indiepop is getting played right now.

http://www.klsu.fm is the address if you're feeling brave enough to see our site (the streaming link is in the top right)

There is a long shot I may be able to pick this up, given our vicinity and my semi-powerful radio. AM I'm guessing?

gmku 12.11.2006 04:47 PM

:) Yeah, long shot. Unless, what's your vicinity--10 blocks of the station? That's about the farthest those half-dozen or so watts send the signal, I believe. I live about five miles or so out from the station--the station is downtown and I'm in the burbs. I can't pick up even a ghost of a whisper from the station.

Savage Clone 12.11.2006 04:49 PM

So much for supporting the burgeoning Iowa pirate radio scene.

(you're going to have loads of fun)

gmku 12.11.2006 04:58 PM

I'm looking forward to it. Send me requests in advance, if you want.

Oh, and I'll play a bunch of STNNNG!

Well, the State next door...

So much for that idea. Perhaps someone will enjoy it so much and relay it?

gmku 12.11.2006 05:11 PM

I'll bring in some aluminum foil to wrap around the antenna. Maybe that will help boost the signal. I'll bend it to the west, too.

DJ Rick 12.11.2006 05:19 PM

I've deejayed at Freeform KDVS 90.3 FM in Davis, CA for 13+ years now.

The links for downloading or streaming the programs appear with the weekly playlists and hundreds of record/CD/CDR/tape reviews in my blog linked below...

gmku 12.11.2006 05:25 PM

I'm thinking of calling myself DJ Dead-Air.

I'll cross my fingers and scan with my trusty shortwave, the E10.
