December 28 2011

Last Victrola of the year! And it comes during something of a crisis point at KOPN. The board in the air room fried itself! Seems really odd. Why now? What is going to happen at KOPN? Will programmers be able to adapt to the old equipment in the production room? That mixing board is at least 30 years old and has pretty much zero "cue" capabilities (so we can't preview our plays before airing them, makes things feel very much "without a net"), and we are limited to one turntable, one cd player (at least on the night I was there) and no internet. But I think that this was a great show to round out the year, and the new challenges have sort of re-invigorated my own programming. Or if not my programming, at least, it has made being at the station a little more interesting, I guess. Challenges are fun!

November Second post Halloween folk rock mellow

I made a red over yellow genre mix for last month's mix tape exchange (it's a group that convenes on the last tuesday of each month at kopn to exchange mix tapes/cds). Red over yellow is the colored tape identifier of a certain folk genre at KOPN. I can't remember what they call it, but I call it folk-rock. So this show was sort of inspired by that tape, although I tried to avoid some of the artists who marked that particular mix (Fairport Convention and the various solo projects of its members, mostly) just for variety's sake. I'm feeling Charalambides lately, if that wasn't obvious. The winter approaches.

This is a redemption show. Those who were tuned in on October fifth may have noticed about twenty minutes or so of dead air. Woopsy. It was kind of you not to say anything. You better believe I have hung my head in shame since that day...until last night, that is. I hope this show makes up for my carelessness the week before.

By the way, I've deleted my Facebook account. I need a Facebreak. Social networking is just a little too much for me right now. I guess It's cuz I have a desk job and feel inclined to check it every ten minutes or so. From now on (for now, anyway) this weblog will be Holy Victrola's window to the online world. Thanks for listening, everyone.
