Ping and the Online Distribution Guide

Our illustrious benefactor, Richard Phittswell, has joined Ping. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, Ping is Apple's new music-centered social networking (read: marketing) site. Sort of similar to last.fm, of which Dickie Fitz is also a part. The site is a bit n00b yet, not as full-featured as facebook or last.fm, but it looks promising as a way for small independent artists to get their music spread around in the vast and profitable world of the iTunes Store. Not our thing, really, capitalism, but for our local artists, we this do.

We love you, Buffalo, and we want you to succeed.

Also, we want you not to freeze in the coming months. It's gonna get miiiighty cold.

So, if you're looking to take advantage of the huge and still-burgeoning online market, read this little guide, and let us know when you're on and we'll link to you and keep the network growing.

Love,
isadore

Welcome the Soundscape (& schedule)

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please...? We are once again going to have a full Monday through Friday lineup of local shows with addition of a new show!

Monday nights at 8pm, Needles Numark will be bringing us The Soundscape, a new show that plays experimental, ambient, drone, avant-garde, and electronic music and sound art from around the world and right here in Buffalo. We'll also keep tabs on the music coming from the outer fringes of indie, hip-hop, and pop.

Sounds like a far-out space adventure!

In your mind!

...

In outer-space!

You ready for the ride?



Tune in every weekday evening to catch our sweet programming:

Mondays, 8pm - The Soundscape w/ Needles Numark

Tuesdays, 8pm - The Eclectric w/ Roman
(a mix of sounds from U.S., Latin America the world)

Wednesdays, 8pm - Mid-week Mix-up w/ Francisco de Macoris
(a variety of music, news and history, phone calls and who knows what else)

Thursdays, 9pm - The Rabbit Hole w/ Mush-mouth
(how far down the rabbit hole will you go?)

Fridays, 6pm - "News @5 (at 6)" w/ Geethoven von Buttwig and Riff Randle
- rad news updates and rants on local/national issues

...Traditionally Story Time airs on Friday evenings after the news, and the Metal Hour occurs right before the news. We haven't seen or heard from MC Malone or DJs H1N1 and Anonymosh in a while, though. Where are the sweet stories and bad-ass-thrash?

We want News and Doom!
