Recording at home

I never thought I could make it sound alright. But I've tweaked it enough so it's pallatable.

Back to making the new 'Bohemia After Dark' for RobinHoodRadio.com...

FMQB.com reports that "CBS Radio and XM Satellite Radio have entered into an unprecedented agreement that will mark the return of Opie & Anthony to CBS Radio stations in seven major markets -- WFNY/New York, KLLI/Dallas, WYSP/Philadelphia, WBCN/Boston, WRKZ/Pittsburgh, WXRK/Cleveland and WPBZ/West Palm Beach -- beginning this Wednesday, April 26. Under the terms of the agreement, CBS Radio will broadcast a three-hour version the Opie & Anthony Show -- featuring Gregg "Opie" Hughes, "Anthony" Cumia and Jim Norton -- on their stations from 6am - 9am each weekday morning, except in Cleveland where the program will air from 3pm - 6pm. The three hour program will originate from CBS Radio's WFNY New York studio and be simulcast on XM in an uncensored format, while the CBS Radio version will be FCC-friendly. O&A will then continue to broadcast from 9am - 11am exclusively for XM's more than 6.5 million subscribers live from their current XM studio in New York. CBS Radio stations in New York, Dallas and Philadelphia will also stream the O&A show show online at www.923freefm.com, www.1053freefm.com and www.941freefm.com, respectively. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed."

Someone's "Taking Back the Airwaves..."

Well, not in the strictest sense. Pretty soon, some voices from a station that once occupied a nice Victorian house on a main drive somewhere will be heard from again...

Look to here beginning around May 1st.

This is legit. And scary.

But even I have at one time or another emulated Page, Beck, Hendrix, Richards, Zappa, Satriani, Howe, Kottke, Hedges, Legg, Watanabe and countless other stringmen, basking in the glow that I couldn't play, but could look good pretending.

The finals are June 22nd at the Bowery Ballroom.

Love at first mount...

The New WKZE Begins Monday

WKZE begins a new era when they start broadcasting from new studios in Red Hook, NY beginning April 10th.

I took a moment to see the new digs, but forgot my camera. I'll make good soon, as I have to check my mailbox anyway.

Best wishes to them. I'll miss the old house.

Greetings UL Listeners!

For those curious souls who follow every link out of sheer boredom...

Sorry I don't have much.

Welcome back Regis, Frankie and Gigli!

Boot Camp is the real deal

Just announced the other day, Apple's public beta of Boot Camp will truly bridge the gap for those who simply must use both OSX and Windows. Boot Camp gives Intel-based Mac users the ability to natively install Windows XP, with the ability to dual boot, but not use simultaneously as with VirtualPC and other emulators.

I think gamers will truly benefit, as will those number crunchers who rely on DOS based or Wintel-centric programs for their day-to day endeavors.

I might give this a whirl in the summer, when I plan to have a Mac mini or a Mac Book Pro available to me to try it out.

Doctor Who on Sci-Fi Channel

Well, so far, Sci-Fi's presentation of the 2005 Doctor Who has been worth the wait.
The opener, 'Rose,' was a nice re-introduction to the timelord, with Christopher Eccleston as the ninth incarnation of the beloved character. Billie Piper, the Doctor's new companion, is very engaging. She steps right up to the plate and hits one out of the park, in my opinion. So far, they've aired 'The End of the World,' 'The Unquiet Dead' and the first two-parter 'Aliens of London.' Can't wait to see what's next. Of course, there are friends of mine who have seen the whole series via sinister means. I'm glad they haven't spoiled it yet for me.
