Oh, good! Thanks! I'm continuously surprised by what I hear from the other shows on a station in a town that surprises me as well, so I feel a bit more emboldened with each show.
Thanks @djh! I think lots of us are busy these days with all kinds of things, so thanks for having the interest!
I think listenership is increasing because last night's show has already shown up as:
Thanks, if any of you are listening!
The station has finally given me my own email address for requests, suggestions or just plain commenting at randomradio@gmcr.org. I'm hoping for those folks who're listening to help the station out in response to all of the new shows we've added in the past few months. I'm a little surprised by the little town radio station's growth. I'm wondering if we're getting any extra attention since we're part of the Pacifica group of community radio stations in the nation.
In the forthcoming convocation of Random Radio, we are poised to regale our esteemed audience with an auditory exhibition most novel and refined, befitting the tastes of those who frequent our establishment in pursuit of erudition and the muses' favor. As is our wont, we endeavor to present an offering not merely different, but distinguished in its singularity.
Let us traverse the annals of time to the year of our Lord 1869, a year marked by a momentous occasion in the annals of natural philosophy. It was then that the illustrious Russian savant, Dmitri Mendeleev, laid before the Russian Chemical Society the fruits of his intellectual labor: the inaugural Table of Periodic Elements. This tableau stands as a testament to human ingenuity, organizing the fundamental constituents of nature into a harmonious and systematic tableau according to their inherent properties and the number of their constituent atoms, a schema well known to scholars and dilettantes alike.
In a tribute to this monumental achievement, we have conceived an auditory feast we aptly dub the "Periodic Table of Tunes." This endeavor shall see us embark on a musical odyssey, with compositions named in honor of the elements, each performed in the sequence dictated by their rightful place upon Mendeleev's celebrated chart.
Welcome to the coop - the KURU chicken coop here on Gila/Mimbres Community Radio 89.1 FM right here in Silver City, NM and streaming live on GMCR.org on Wednesdays from 8-10 PM MST. It’s where the tunes are as varied as feathers and every track lays the golden egg of sound. As we scratch the surface of tonight's eclectic mix, let's strut through the musical barnyard together, discovering rhythms and beats. So fluff up your feathers, set your dials so you can roam free-range, and let's kick off the night where anything can happen and probably will. Welcome to the flock everybody!
Starting out with a chicken theme for the first quarter hour, then a little solo voiced #GraceSlick mixed in with some #MilesDavis, then much of the rest of the show will introduce a new regular feature (for 2024) that we call “HEAR: 2-4” emphasizing new sounds/new releases that have just come out or are ready to be released later during 2024 including a new live album from #Can, a rare find of #EmahoyTseguéMaryamGuèbrou singing along with her piano playing plus #EarlBostic, #AndAlsoTheTrees, #SleepytimeGorillaMuseum, #AmosMilburn, and a panoply of others.
About a week ago, our archive went down and it wasn't showing any new shows being archived.
On top of that, the live feed at the top of the page disappeared. I contacted management and told them that it looked like there was an attempt at an upgrade and it failed. He said he'd look into it...
...so one week later it's back up (without the live feed) BUT, when you click on a show to listen, the box widens and shows you what's been played! It's about a couple of minutes behind, but I think that's good because it gives you a chance to get into the song before you discover what's been playing.
Anyway, I'm excited about it because it is somehow extremely accurate (A. I.?). Wednesday night was devoted to music that hasn't even been released yet and, somehow, it was able to identify every tune - even music that I played as a music bed under my voice - and extremely rare stuff as well (a Turkish folk album from 1970 ... a Croatian composer of electroacoustic music on a rare Italian label, and so on...).
Hi @rostasi just to say I've listened to the latest two editions of random radio via the archive link that you shared. Per your own comments the playlist for 9th Sept didn't work for me at all. The playlist for the 18th Sept worked with a delay as you suggested. FWIW I'm listening using the Firfox browser. A fun listen with as usual a nice portion of new to me sounds.
Yeah, I think everything pre-September 17 doesn't show playlists because that seems to be the date that they added it (and fixed it - it had been down for almost a week before that), so it isn't retroactive to before then. Anyway, it should work for everything post 16th. (I think you meant Sept. 11). Glad you enjoyed (and could see the tunes). I've noticed that the more "unusual" the tune, the longer it takes to show what it is. I've listened to other shows that'll play some "hit" song and the song title will show almost immediately. Like I said, I like the delay, so that people can wonder a bit. Listen for mostly "krautrock" on Oct. 2 birthday.
Also, I'm considering going back to Mixcloud with the shows. I've done all kinds of research and it seems that they're the only ones that allow you to freely upload shows without having to get permissions from the songster robbers. I've considered printing track listings at my Mastodon account - maybe links to the shows for a few weeks at a time. All of this after the first of the year after I finish the Gila Wilderness series and the "HEAR: 2-4" segments (they won't work in '25 😄).
"HEAR: 2-4" I had to think a little about that one ;-) Ah so the playlist acts like the phone app Shazam which frequently says, "let's try this again it's difficult!" or similar. I thought the playlist would have been manually generated by you. I am an old school type of guy.
Yeah, it stems from "What were you listening to HEAR 2-4?"
... and, yes! this new thing that the station (or maybe it was Pacifica itself?) added was a total surprise to me. All I've ever had to do was upload a full show to them and they play it. That's why in my OP I said that I was surprised that it recognized some of the tunes I played. It also helps me when I listen to other shows - especially the latin music ones where I'm listening for names and titles.
Yesterday, I heard back from two different well-known Podcast hosting platforms - and, really, Podcasting is made for people sitting around yacking into a mic for hours. I checked back on bremble's (BTW: where is he?) suggestions and you really have to secure rights and all that for music you play even for it to appear on Spotify or Apple Music, YouTube, etc. I can't see any other way than to go back to Mixcloud because they've paid the monies to the big guns at ASCAP, BMI, SECAM, etc. in order to allow a world of archived radio shows.
America's devotion to old, outdated copyright rules raises its ugly head!
Great new thing that the station has added is a (mostly) complete playlist listing. If you go to GMCR.org and look on the right-hand side, you'll click on "all playlists" and you can go to any of the station's shows and scroll to get playlists that go back years(!) I'm pretty impressed!

Trying an alternative to Mixcloud.
Click on the pic and you get the playlist and
you get to listen as well.
Let me know if it works for you.
