Lots of things going on,can't be bothered to do anything...
Thats because, this time last week, I was as busy as anything - totally. This week has been a long slow preparation week so that everything I need is in place for Sundays first broadcast on cygnusradio.com.
The 'Audio Coffee Singers' have been on their best behaviour so far and with any luck, by Sunday, they'd have done me proud :-)
For new readers to this weblog (and I know some of you are) this is dedicated to the goings on inbetween shows that may/may not contain details of whats coming up on Sundays broadcasts - and the stuff that (for one reason or another) gets forgot about by Sunday - and it can, plus links to stuff thats a bit useless on air unless someone invents something that makes a browser pop-open when you hear a link given out on air.
Things we do on the show:
Well, we play a LOT of electronica, but sometimes, something comes along that isn't - but as I'm a soft-touch for the ocassional bit of anything that isn't rap, heavy metal or comes under the label 'pop', the shows main genre is 'what the dj likes' and that tends to be 95% instrumental based stuff.
There's also the 'Audio Coffee - Coffee Cup Challenge' which is where I set a monthly challenge to come up with a piece of original material from scratch using an idea.
So for example..
"A 3 minute long track which must include a washing machine, a budgerigar and a vacuum cleaner"
All entries are played, and it's just for fun - and it keeps some of the musicians out there inspired.
And lets not forget 'Around the Coffee Table' which is a non-frequent event where new artists to my archive get a chance to be heard. So far, three new artists have been heard this way and it's a nice little featurette :-)
Other things? Well, depends whats going on in the chatroom - if it's funny, it's worth mentioning!
Of course, the show will not be archived in the future... if you can't listen in live, then you're going to miss out and you'll have a week to wait before the next show. But then again, you never know - things, like the weather, can change...
Upcoming Events:
A lot! At the end of March, around these parts, there's an annual lantern procession, so I'll be following that one way or another and focusing the show on that.
Redevelopment work in this area: will be followed as and when it is appropriate to do so. Naturally, a close eye on this needs to be maintained and thats what I'll be doing. Bringing my community to the global internet community - why? because we can and I've been asked to!
Plus other things of interest to people - if it's relevant, it gets a mention!
If you're a musician with hot news, or want some airplay or you have an event you want me to mention - communicate with me during my show at the Cygnus chatroom and we'll get something sorted.
I think that covers EVERYTHING!
Now for a coffee and a sit down :-)
