Greetings fellow CT-heads.
I wanted to turn you all on to a Live 365 stream that I've started - it's been on the air for a month now, and has been getting a LOT of listens from all over the globe.
I'm constantly adjusting the music mix - but it's basically a mix of melodic IDM (think Ulrich Schnauss, Boards of Canada, Aspen, Arovane, etc), chilled dub/downtempo (like King of Woolworths, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Fila Brazillia, Thievery Corporation), ambient (like Biosphere, Pete Namlook, Deep Space Network, Higher Intelligence Agency), post-rock (Sigur Ros, Piano Magic, Yo La Tengo, Beta Band), low-fi (Lali Puna, Kreidler, M83, Múm), shoegazer (Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Mogwai, etc) and global groove (Up Bustle & Out, Talvin Singh, Jazzanova, Alien Soap Opera, etc).
Cocteaus have the most tracks of any artist in the stream - so that's why I'm posting in here... if your musical tastes run the same as mine, I promise you'll love it.
Sometimes I've been broadcasting the stream live from my computer (and a few times directly off my dj-cd decks into my computer) and sometimes it's broadcasting from the playlist I have stored at Live 365. The stream is very high-quality (sorry modem users!) so I can't store that much there. I have only 48 hours worth of tracks stored - that's more than most stations, but when your music library contains 4000 cds, it's pretty tiny. So I prefer to broadcast live if I'm not using my computer for something else - I'll be doing that on Halloween night (next Sunday the 31st) from 5pm-11pm PST, playing a 6-hour scary set of dark ambient and assorted glops of musical nastiness.
Anyway... if any of you broadband folks feel like giving a listen, here's the link:
www.live365.com/stations/gregretro
The station name is 'abcdefg(a2g)', which both stands for "Ambient Breaks/Chilled Dub/Ethereal Funked Guitars", and stands for myself (greg) and my musical collaborator (amy - another devoted CT fanatic) who will be programming her own shows when I get my broadcast server built. We'll also be broadcasting some live improvised ambient/abstract perfromances when we have some time.
If any of you musicians out there have HIGH quality mp3s of your stuff (and by high quality, I mean 64Kbit true stereo - MP3 pro - MINIMUM) drop me a line via my profile and I'll give you more info.
Thanks....
