KIAC a terrestrial radio station?

5/23/2009 9:22:27 PM
New All-Request IAC Station

5/23/2009 9:22:27 PM

New All-Request IAC Station
http://iacmusic.com/Stations/KIAC6726.htm

Premise behind this station:

"I haven't been on this site in forever, and I don't know where to start in terms of finding new music. So you get to show me. What should I listen to? What music should everyone on IAC hear? Request on the tagboard thing, and I'll add it."

So there ya be. No requests will be ignored or denied. Let's see what happens with this thinger!

have fun,

Jon

5/23/2009 9:35:35 PM

Great idea ;)
... would you like to try some VELULA
... what song?
...mmm ... choose between these ones:

1 Ojos de la Transparencia
2 Magico Misterio Medieval
3 Ocaso de un Parpadeo (nueve pedazos de ti)

enjoy !!!

Hey Rob - I listened and it RATTLED my speakers!

ROCK ON>>>

5/24/2009 12:20:17 AM

LOL Colin!!!!!

5/24/2009 12:30:43 AM

Hey Rob - presume it is Brekki Time in NZ?

5/24/2009 1:17:39 AM

Jon - I invite you to check out my page. I have 18 songs in the Top 40 of the Classic Rock genre and 11 of them are in the top 25, 2 are in the top 10. For a list of those songs check under "Artist News and Happenings" under my shout box. You can't go wrong with "Brother John" a rocker about John Lennon.

5/24/2009 1:48:34 AM

I followed directions.

lol ...

5/24/2009 3:19:16 AM ---- Updated 5/24/2009 3:27:31 AM

Kev, I tried putting a message on the tagboard but it wouldn't print. After 3 failed attempts I posted here.

EDIT - I just checked the station and now my posts are on the tagboard but they weren't there when I tried to put them there earlier. There was also a double post so obviously there was some glitch.

Jon - sorry for the double post on the tagboard.

5/24/2009 3:38:33 AM

I saw your post there, Rich, before posting here ...

I was kidding ... as I saw the exact repetition. I knew there was probably a reason ... and I was lightly poking fun accordingly.

Kev-

5/24/2009 4:22:27 AM

Directions are for the wind ...

Mr. Fall said ... there is no G in this song !
So ... I played a G ...
He said ... a Dm is what is called for here and would sound so much finer
So ... I played a G ...
Mr. Fall said I was the main reason he went Bald

Miss Stucky said ... four and four are eight
So ... I wrote a nine ...
She said ... no, four and four are eight, how do you come up with nine
So ... I said four and four and one line underneath equal nine ...
Miss Stucky said I was the main reason her life went so Yucky

5/24/2009 4:32:39 AM

Only rebels find undiscovered roads Sam. No one else would think to look.

5/24/2009 4:33:54 AM

Yeah ... but I do feel a bit guilty about Mr. Falls hair .... :)

5/24/2009 4:52:06 AM

You can't ... his name was Falls. :)

5/24/2009 5:40:15 AM

Kev - guess I'm just a bit touchy lately as I can't seem to finish any of the several songs I have in production. I've been preoccupied with other pressing matters that have really been getting on my nerves. I think I need a vacation!

5/24/2009 4:36:26 PM

Funny you mention that, Rich. I've been distracted lately too. I started work on Bry's material and wandered off my own.

I plan on redirecting my energies back to my stuff soon.

Bry bought a Blue Snowball and has been experimenting w/ it in Garageband on his Apple laptop. He's got a terrific guitar sound out of it, but the vocal sounds like he's singing through a tin can.

5/24/2009 8:13:03 PM

No worries about the double posts/ tagboard directions thing. The tagboard will become a little more important once this thread drops off the radar, since I'm not sure I know how to find old threads.

Richard - I promise I'll add some of your songs soon, but you've got a lot of material up there :) I'm gonna listen to them first and pick and choose. The multiple choice requests require some legwork.

5/24/2009 10:52:03 PM

Thank you, thebernreuter.

5/24/2009 11:42:33 PM

may I suggest one?

5/25/2009 12:21:51 AM

We are smiling----thx for the station add---!!!

5/25/2009 1:10:24 AM

Interesting conversation breakout. We posted on the tagboard.

5/25/2009 1:16:07 PM

We got a few tunes for you.

I don't really have a request, what would MOST interest me, is if you gave about 10 or so of OUR tunes a listen, and chose one that YOU DiG.

Oh yeah, and you should throw some PRODUCT RECALL up in there too.

-somewhat humbly yours, -pHLeGm

5/27/2009 2:40:03 PM ---- Updated 5/27/2009 9:11:28 PM

I'd be honored if you'd take a look at one of my tunes. (even better if you listen too!)

I'm Afraid I'm Falling
Universe
Jean
Just a Little While
She Waited for Him

...probably cover most all of my styles... thanks! Nice idea!

5/27/2009 2:46:29 PM ---- Updated 5/27/2009 3:13:07 PM

What Sly said.

Also, I think that maybe the best representations are probably:
"Ashes On the Water"
"C'mon Angel"
"Cary's Here"
and a few others...

Thanks again!!!

5/27/2009 8:41:25 PM ---- Updated 5/29/2009 12:39:03 AM

Brother John

Goddess Of My Dreams

Goin' Higher

Water From A Stone

She's An Angel

Retrieving My Soul

Jon - I wouldn't presume to know what your tastes are but I've suggested the above songs
with links for your convenience. If none of these meet your needs, I'm sure there are others on my
page that might interest you.

5/27/2009 9:48:12 PM ---- Updated 5/27/2009 9:50:10 PM

Stop by my Place anytime, pull up a chair., make yourself at home... Have a Brew, Smoke, or whatever your pleasure.... Just click on my name under my Mug at the left of this post. and you will be transported. :)

Only one rule, if you take a beer from the fridge (Ice box), you must leave one for the next bloke :)
Similarly, if you smoke anything, leave something to smoke for the next guy. Just make sure it is not the furniture...

Regards,

Jeff

5/28/2009 5:26:06 PM

Thanks guys. Slowly perusing through everything - I was working through the tagboard and I forgot about this thread.

5/28/2009 8:07:53 PM

BANANAFISHÜ!

5/29/2009 2:07:35 PM

Would you please add SOLID LOVE to your station? Thanks in advance! Diego

5/29/2009 2:19:31 PM

Thanks so much for adding my tunes!!!

5/29/2009 7:12:05 PM

WOW!!! Thank you, Jon, for adding 11 songs to your station. I'm so honored and shocked, I'm freaking out!! That's more songs of mine than anyone's ever added to one station in the 3 years I've been here. And what I really find interesting is that you picked mostly songs that I did not suggest. That really reinforces my belief that it's impossible to predict what someone will like without knowing their musical tastes in advance. You picked many of my personal favorites that happen to be less popular than the songs I recommended. It gladdens my heart that there are people who appreciate all of my work and not just the most popular ones. When someone likes the songs that are closest to your heart, it proves they really "get" what you are doing. That is such a temendous validation which I sincerely appreciate. Thanks again.

5/30/2009 4:31:57 AM ---- Updated 5/30/2009 4:33:55 AM

Thanks for the awesome feedback! I've decided to go at this full-out, at least for awhile, as if I'm a program director. With the exception of requests for one or two specific songs, which for the time being will be automatic adds. But when it's a whole page, I listen to everything and pick the ones that stick out to me the most.

Eventually some songs will have to be trimmed out because it looks like there is a maximum length for stations, but for now I'm going to try to represent every artist that gets requested.

-Jon (from the artists account - I still forget which one I'm using. Same Jon.)

5/30/2009 5:03:04 AM

Jon ...

Cool, but the thirteen songs you chose off of my page makes our relationship unlucky. You need to take it to 14 ... or 23. Your call.

I owe you an ice cream cone. You totally get to choose the flavor.

btw ... I listened to your stuff, and it's totally Ice Cream cool. I only wish I had a station to play it on, but I don't. So you'll have to take my word for it that I like what you do too ... a lot. You've got great musical sensibility in a natural way ... which is my highest compliment I give. The rest is flavor ... like Ice Cream. :^D

5/30/2009 5:55:43 AM

Awesome! There's a lot more of it, but as soon as I learn something new in school I feel compelled to take everything down and rerecord it. It's kinda addictive. And probably a little dysfunctional.

5/30/2009 6:24:14 AM

Heh. As some of you may have guessed, I'm a bit of a newbie to substantial station management. I didn't realize that the recommended maximum number of songs is 100! Oops. So some of these songs are going to be cut eventually. I'll keep listening and save the creme.

5/30/2009 7:36:59 AM ---- Updated 5/30/2009 6:31:49 PM

...many very cool songs. the tagboard's not working for me at the moment, here's a link to my page. maybe "the wonderer," or whatever you like, including steve ison collabros like "in luv with my therapist" (collabro steve ison), or "late bloomer" (collabro steve ison)....

5/30/2009 11:41:47 AM

Great idea - you might want to drop by our page and have a squizz, there should be a song or two on there that ticks your boxes!

5/30/2009 1:23:45 PM

Hey there Jon,

We think that you would enjoy our newest song "No More" ft Waupi, who is our newest female vocalist. She is very good, and We think she complements our style well. Also any feedback on the song would be appreciated as well.

Thanx for your time!!

Meshwell (FLOW, RAH, MONEY, REAL, WAUPI)

5/30/2009 2:09:10 PM

Very happy with your selections.

You picked some of my personal favourites.

I realize you'll have to cut some eventually, but hopefully you'll keep a couple of Conversation Suicide tunes on your station, to mix it up and such....

-== : 0 Thanks for including US !! -pHLeGm

5/30/2009 6:14:34 PM ---- Updated 5/30/2009 9:58:45 PM

Hey pHLeGm - (I copied-and-pasted so I'd get the caps right)

I actually didn't make it all the way through your page - I had been recording and mixing all day, so I had pretty mondo listener fatigue in my ears. I'll pick up where I left off soon.

**Note to myself - all requests above this post done**

5/30/2009 8:04:39 PM

Not that this is a critique or anything - I love the enthusiasm and multitude of responses I've gotten. I saw a few request station when I was searching around to see if it had been done before, and with one there were about two things on the tagboard. So I was worried there would be no interest at all.

However, I can help but notice that all of the requests so far have been bands requesting themselves. Once again, this is still awesome. I'm listening to and forming opinions on stuff that I would never have heard otherwise, some stuff that I typically don't listen to period, which will help me grow and a musician, listener, songwriter and on and on, which was my selfish motivation component of setting this thing up. Plus the first thing I did was put my songs on the station, so the pot is calling the kettle black :)

But I'm wondering: Are there any people here that are just Pipeline members and fans of the artists, with no artist pages of their own? I was expecting some to pipe up and say, "You HAVE to check these people's page out; I saw them when they came to town and they blew me away" or stuff like that.

5/31/2009 2:42:14 AM ---- Updated 5/31/2009 2:52:25 AM

You did that already, J ... you've got the Decemberists on your page ... and as you know, I'm a prior fan of theirs, AND I could suggest a BUNCH of others ... yet some unfortunately don't yet have an IAC page.

But in answer to your inquiry, I wouldn't anticipate too much fan based suggestions from artists themselves ... promoting oneself personally, I normally offer me.

I don't like most of the offerings IAC puts forward on their front page ... Sorry IAC ... I listened, didn't agree w/ me ... but of course, that's just me ... yet I've an ear ... and ...

... yet, music is the fabric of my life ... and I could offer TONS of suggestions:

Andrew Bird: Here

Ben Folds: Not here

Of Montreal: Not here

The New Pornographers: Here

The Shins: Here

Boy Least Likely To: Not here

Silverchair: Not here

Iron and Wine: Here

There will be another post here ... music is alive and well ... and exists on IAC, and sometimes not on IAC ... and that's okay. The point is music is alive and well.

:^D

5/31/2009 4:16:56 AM

Okay ... dinner done, let's continue ...

Neutral Milk Hotel: Not Here

Fleet Foxes: Here

Belle and Sebastion:Here

Rogue Wave: Here

Built to Spill: Not here

The Fruit Bats: Not here

The Arcade Fire: Here

Bright Eyes: Here

Camera Obscura: Here

Devon Davis: Not here ... but I personally love this album.

Flaming Lips: Not here. Great stuff.

Grizzly Bear: Not here.

The Mountain Goats: Not here.

Grandaddy: Not here.

Kevin Devine: Not here.

Kings of Convenience: Not here.

Lonely, Dear ...: Not here

Sufjan Stevens: Here

Oh no, Oh my: Not here

Wilco: Not here.


I could continue, but there is so much good music in the indie world, that not of the other band I'd list would appear here ... and yet I hear the music of the above bands all the time because ... I've got a HUGE music fan I sired, and he shares ... and he's great at music himself.

Special thanks to Bryan White for his contribution to my own knowledge of music contained in this thread. If you want to hear great music, research both the music mentioned on IAC above, and the other bands mentioned that don't appear on IAC.

You can't go wrong, it's all great music.

I was mainly wondering if there are people on this site who aren't artists. Just here to do the station thing, either to make them or listen to them. I kinda thought that's what the pipeline was. I was figuring they would have favorites on the site too, but I have yet to hear from one.

6/2/2009 1:40:30 PM ---- Updated 6/2/2009 1:42:41 PM

Well, Ben... I am a listener, too.
So I'll throw out a few of my favorites that have not yet been mentioned (that I've seen). And that are not my own tunes:

Invisible Inc. - "Sun Today"
The Code - "Float Me Away!"
The Descendents - "When I Get Old"
Happy Ashtray - "Starlight"
Leo Lago - "Anunziô Zumbi"

6/2/2009 6:26:18 PM ---- Updated 6/2/2009 6:28:45 PM

There are over 200,000 "concurrent" sessions as I write this. .005 of these is 1000.!!!..... you think maybe 50 new people would come on the pipeline??? Five percent of the half percent??? :) Screw that I would take 20 new people

I guess there are a whole lot of shy people out there eh??? .....

I love you guys, but I am amazed at the lack of new participation here giving these session numbers.

Peace

6/11/2009 11:05:31 AM ---- Updated 6/11/2009 11:20:19 AM

Heh. . . I started working at the new radio station in town today, and they're spinning Fleet Foxes.

Bummer that alot of the major artists Kevin mentioned as "here" are really represented by fake profiles created by fans.

6/11/2009 9:40:34 PM

How about either of the two songs I have posted on my page? KILLING OURSELVES or FAREWELL. You pick.

I thought a little dose of 'heavy' into your mix would be good. :-)

I'll add some other artists for you that i like in a bit.

Thanks in advance .. cool idea.

Dave / Evil Grin

6/13/2009 2:06:03 AM

Ron - Check out Russ Bonagura and Ronnie Gent, especially Ronnie's song: "Better Day". They're both terrific artists.
