Through my eyes…

Ever wonder what it is like to be me? I doubt it, but hey, this is my site, so I am going to tell you about it anyway. I just watched Almost Famous on HBO. It is funny how a movie can spark something in you. Music does the same thing. Watching Almost Famous is a look into my world. I am a fan of Music. More than anything, Music is an important part of my life. I spent 6 years working my way from mascot to weekend peon at a great Rock Radio station. I held down a fulltime job, went to school fulltime, worked 2 – 3 weekend shifts at the radio station and once in a while, I got to see my wife. I sacrificed a lot for my love of Music. I finally gave up on being a DJ because something in my life had to give. I took the easy way out. I stopped being a fan. This site is my way of bringing back the thing I miss the most, the music and being around other people who know what it means to be a fan.



That’s right, I do this because I am a fan. Always was, always will be. So, I present my corner of the world to you, my world, where the Music rules and having fun is part of the game. Won’t you join me? Us?



As they say in the movie, Almost Famous, “It will set you free.”



Yea man, yea…..

Radio Stream

It is official. My big announcement for the radio stream is no more. In one fell swoop, I lost my ability to send the stream and I lost my shoutcast server provider. I can not find any way to broadcast for less than 200.00/month right now. I will continue to keep looking for options. If anyone knows of any colocation services that I can use a minimum of 25 gigs a month without spending a fortune, please let me know.



The site will keep going and I hope to have a lot more content to send your way. As always, send your stories, news and thoughts our way.



ROCK ON!

New and Improved Broadcast Stream!

I am extremely excited to announce our new primary 56k stream! Put this URL in your MP3 player, 128.121.112.59:6030. Now, you will see the name of the Artist and the Song. I also left the live365 stream as a back up. You can use it through this url, 216.35.106.10:11804.


We are constantly working to bring you the best streaming we can. If you have any suggestions or can help us with additional bandwidth, please let us know.

Recent Happenings

Alright, after several days of frustration, the radio broadcast is back online. I completely redid the playlist and changed the setup on the software used to broadcast and things are looking good. Its been running for about 28 hours straight. I was lucky to get 4 hours of broadcasting before redoing everything. If this keeps up, I will start adding some interesting things to the stream and bring the dial-up stream back online.


The new logo is on its way. Ive seen the final production image and I think its extremely cool. I hope you like it as well. Dont forget to send you stories and news our way.

Stream News II

OK. The streams are now the exact same song. The currently playing song is also correct (as long as you have done a refresh on the website lately). If your curious, the popup was a way to show the current song without refreshing the whole website. You can resize it if you like. It refreshes every 2 minutes, so it may not always be correct. Right click on it and hit refresh and you will see what is currently playing. Continue reading Stream News II

2nd Stream!!!!

Its late and Im dead beat tired, but I wanted to make sure you saw the new stream up at the top. The 56k is more for DSL/Cable and faster, with the new 32k stream being perfect for 56k dialups. Pick your poison. Right now, they play from the same piles of songs, but they still operate independent of each other. Expect to hear different songs on them.

One other important thing. The currently playing song will be the last song started by either stream. If you really want to hear the currently playing song, you will have to switch. Ill fix it soon.

New Music added: Coldplay – Yellow, Tool: Prison Sex and Sober, Disturbed: (Cant remember) and a ton of Incubus. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Continue reading 2nd Stream!!!!

Website Update

Hola! Its been a busy week and I have not had time to post to the website. I wanted to update everyone on what I have managed to finish in the last week. Join The Staff has been updated and most of the open positions currently available are posted. If you have a talent you would like to use to help us out, but you do not see it listed, feel free to email me, Atomm. Im always open to new ideas.

I added a pop-up window to the site. It will show you what is currently playing in a resizable window. It refreshes every two minutes, so you will not have to worry about it bugging you to death. The banners on the site are actually provided by the people who programmed the streaming broadcast program I use. They are not currently charging me, so it is the least I could do to pay them back.

Could you imagine a world without music?!?

The last story I posted made me start thinking about Music and how important it has been in my life. Could you imagine living in a country that censored your music to the point that you could only get 1 or 2 rock albums every 3 years?!? That has to be the most fucked up thing I think I have ever heard. It makes you think really hard about censorship and how far it could go.

Welcome

The site is still under construction. Keep coming back and you will be able to see it change right before your eyes. Soon, we will start discussing the world of Music and Gaming. I love both, so why not have a website dedicated to both?!?

Some interesting things you can look forward too from the website…..

Synopsis of the latest news in the recording industry, gaming industry as well as Bios, Interviews, and music from Independent bands, Major Label bands, and Game Developers from all over the world.

Some interesting things you can look forward too from the broadcast….

Streaming broadcast of Major Label artists from mostly Rock, some Rap and a little Techno. Kewl, off the wall shit you may have never heard.
Ex. Did you know Ozzy and Dweezil Zappa did the BeeGees, “Staying Alive”, or Busta Rhymes did a song to “Iron Man”, with Ozzy singing backup, or Miss Piggy and Ozzy sang Stepenwolfes, “Born to be Wild”? Ozzy is one crazy dude and they are all in rotation on the live broadcast.

Soon, You will get to hear unsigned bands from all over the world, played with the Hottest Major Label Artists you know and love. Of course, sometimes Ill play whatever the hell I want, but your opinion will always count. You will get to talk about Major Label and unsigned artists and decide which bands will get the most airplay.




Im also working on interviews with Musicians, Gaming Industry Insiders and whoever else will talk to an Internet Broadcaster. So, if you have any connections that you dont mind sharing, let me know. I would appreciate the help.
