About Me

I'm moving the station into Second Life, and will be playing Internet Radio only as a feed from Second Life. For the artists, this is great news. You're gonna get a lot more exposure to more listeners. For the listeners, I'll still be playing on the same servers, but it will be dedicated to SL clubs and listeners. I recommend highly that you get into SL...a huge music scene! More details to follow, but starting today I am suspending the broadcast schedule, in favor of SL-based shows.

Blue Radio News Items

With regret, DJ LovelyLithum will no longer be DJing shows on Blue Radio. Complications in his personal life were making it hard for him to maintain a broadcast schedule. I wish him the best in his endeavours.
The Shoutcast Server has been closed down. Please use http://djbluenyc.com:21909/live.m3u to tune into Blue Radio!
Blue Radio will be permanently stopping Shoutcast service during this weekend (February 2/3).
Icecast will remain as the Blue Radio server at http://djbluenyc.com:21909/live.m3u.
We can do Artist and Listener call-ins using phone or Skype!
I'm going to need some listeners and bands to test out these new capabilities. Then I can start doing call-in shows and live band interviews. Drop me some email if you want to help me try it out!
Thursday (12/13) UK/Euro Rock and Alt show moved to Friday (12/14)!

My Interests

Artists - eMail me your music!!:

If you want me to check out your music, email some tracks to [email protected] . You don't have to ask me or wait for anything, just send the music. Please - call it something besides "Track 1" so I can figure out what it is and who did it. :)

I need to know at (at a minimum) the Artist, Title, and MySpace name (not always the same as the email:)) for each track. Additionally, Album, Year, and Genre are very helpful and save me a lot of time.

If you are having trouble, try using

YouSendIt.com

They are the experts at sending large files and multiple files through email. I will check out the material you send and get back to you.

I'd like to meet:


Please Support These Artists, Labels, Marketeers and other Heroes...



Music:

My Dad was a drummer and a music teacher, and many of my parent's friends were musicians. There was always music in the house; Jazz, Latin Dance, Classical, Rock. And I started my first addiction at the age of 3; the piano. The end result? I listen to just about anything, with only two rules. It has to be good, and it can't be opera!

I like Rock, Pop, Jazz, Country, Metal, World, Reggae, HipHop, Rap, Klezmer, Soul, R&B, Funk, Trance, Disco, Raga, just about anything.

Okay, I lied. I even like a little bit of Opera.

Books:

I have favorite authors; the books are too numerous to list! I read books by Isaac Asimov, Ben Bova, Orson Scott Card, C.J. Cherryh, Tom Clancy, Arthur C. Clarke, James Clavell, Richard Cowper, Alan Dean Foster, Joe Haldeman, Robert Heinlein, Ursula K. LeGuin, Anne McCaffery, Elizabeth Moon, Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, Kim Stanley Robinson, John Varley, Roger Zelazny...and those are just the favorites!

Heroes:

Michael George Ewing - You taught me how to really listen.
Ned Liben - You left us so young, with so much unfinished.
Robert Metcalfe - For having the grace to know when you were wrong, and the brilliance to know when you weren't. The inventor of Ethernet.
Ed Stasium - One of the best producer/engineers in the business. "Back to Mono!"
