BSR loses FM signal, sees opportunity after loss

As a college radio DJ at Brown University, I'm sad to say that our last day of programming ON TERRESTRIAL RADIO (for the near future) is July 31, 2011. But as you can see in the press release, from the station, we've got lots of big opportunities in front of us, and things could not be any more exciting. You'll be able to hear all of our original programming at bsrlive.com, as well as features, reviews, news---with a few secret tricks up our sleeve for the near future.

Here are some other mentions of the news, which is starting to gain nationwide interest.

Hi, and happy spring (if you are on this side of the earth). I recently did a radio show at Brown, on The Fieldhouse, but it was a bit off the beaten path, at least until the last 20 minutes or so....but, I figured I'd at least share it here, as there is a wide variety of sounds that would appeal to the person bored of 4/4 time in techno music.

the heavies of dubstep

quick set I did for my current radio show at Brown, which has some flavors appropriate for this blog.

Clearly I love Shackleton and Badawi.

blog direction

For a long time I've allowed my fascination with funky oddball techno music to infiltrate this blog (weirdly) named Misterboots, which I suspect confused stoppers-by or regular listeners. I started the blog with only one intention, which was to provide homemade mixes of music, showcasing strange-but-beautiful combinations of musics from every nook and cranny.

In the first year of this blog, I had been playing around (and still am) with mixing of said electronic music---the problem being, I've never thought that this sort of music format fit very well within the framework of my blog, yet put it up anyway. Post-happy, I guess.

From now on, this blog will no longer feature any of my techno mixes, not only because they don't adhere to the format described above, but also because they sort of stick out like a swollen thumb compared to all of the other mixes or posts.

Due to my breach of proposed blog structure, I know I've got some readers who visit for the quirky techno, but not so much for the other stuff. For this camp, I direct you to my new weekly radio show on BSR named The Fieldhouse, streaming live on the internet (and on the FM dial in the Providence area). This show starts this Saturday, May 22nd, at 11pm-midnight, EST. The archives to the show will be listed on this same show page, in case it's past your bed time, or you live in Europe, Asia, Africa, etc.

For everyone else, please stay tuned for some great mixes coming up over the next several months!

Fest

Tune in tonight from 8-9pm for a sampling of musicians that I would hire, if I ran my own music festival. Enjoy from the comfort of your own home, without encountering overflowing porto-potties, tripping hippies, $8 water bottles, and that sketchy guy offering "free hugs".
