Radio Free Discordia

[Payne]

my music is so experimental that its use on civilians is banned as a war crime.

B-AI still considers Waterboarding (with urine) to be music. I tried to explain it to him, but his program has so many errors I don't think I ever got beyond explaining that it wasn't a combination of Waterman and Keyboarding.

I'd love to hear what Roger would come up with.

Rolling Stones, Elton John (early stuff), Boz Skaggs, Johnny Cash, the very last things Elvis did, and They Might Be Giants.  Also, Iason's kitten xylophone.

For starters.

None of this fucking "experimental" music (translation:  We didn't put in the effort to learn our trade).  No Jazz (4 different guys playing 4 different songs in the same room at the same time).  Perhaps the sound of Enki being hit by a cement truck, though.

and win to this and all of the last 2 pages. 

Hey, do we have a 'nominate for submission in Intermittens' emote yet? That'd be a handy graphic.

[Payne]

so. filled. with WRATH!

You don't have the guts.

[Roaring Biscuit!]

hoyl fucking hell.

[Payne]

you can't HANDLE THE GUTS!

Ach, I see that every damn morning before I even have my coffee.

You're going to have to try harder than that little man.

[Payne]

Okay, maybe you have the guts.

The last three pages are pretty much the reason I wrote "WARNING: Accesible" on my Bring and Brag post for Frost Heaves.

I write ambient classical guitar, mostly. Its nice to listen to. Strong feeling of mono no aware.

I guarantee you that if it was on the radio no one would listen to it.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I have a bit of it on my ipod and I listen to it quite often, actually.

[Triple Zero]

I put on Cain's "This time it's Personell" mixtape, it's pretty fucking swote. Not the stuff I'd normally listen, so refreshing and angry

[StoneCrowUK]

sc.....;D

I finally managed to write a Twitterbot for the Radio Free Discordia. Follow @RadioDiscord on Twitter and you will receive a tweet whenever the stream goes online.

Except that by now it seems hardly anyone is broadcasting anymore. But I guess that was due to a lack of audience, which in its turn was probably caused by a complete lack of knowing when the stream is actually up (just that we have a schedule doesnt mean we keep to it, heh).

Also, a note for the DJs: For technical reasons I built the twitterbot into the radiofreediscordia.org website, because that's where the sidebar info thingy also checks if the stream is online. This means that the twitterbot will only send a tweet the first time someone loads/refreshes the radiofreediscordia.org website after the stream status has changed from offline to online.
I have no idea how many hits radiofreediscordia.org gets, so you probably want to load and refresh radiofreediscordia.org right after you start broadcasting (check if the site says the stream is online, if so, a tweet should arrive within a minute or so).

Hope this new feature will get the radio off the ground again.

[Mourning Star]

Yeah!  Great work Trip!

anothre issue with rfd is that I simply don't have time to be the sole administrator.  I could use a staff, people to update the schedule, and add new people, and help them get off the ground with the server info and helping them figure out how to broadcast...


any takers?
