Project 42 Radio

The old stuff. The new stuff. All the stuff in between.

OK, work and family obligations mean that Don’s show will change start times yet again. No one here gets paid for any of this, so as much as we love goofing off on Da Internets, the paying job has to take precedence, as well as getting kids up and ready for school. As of now, and permanently (as it gets around here), you can hear Don bring new meaning to the word “tedious” weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. US Central Time.

New songs we’ve added to the playlist in the last couple of weeks:

Arcade Fire – The Suburbs
Avett Brothers – Head Full Of Doubt
Days Difference – Speakers
Guster – Do You Love Me
Jack Johnson – At Or With Me
Ray LaMontagne – Beg, Steal or Borrow
Plain White T’s – Rhythm of Love

We got a short, positive review in today’s “Ross On Radio” column at Radio-Info.com. It’s a website that focuses mainly on terrestrial broadcasters, but also talks about new media from time to time. To see the review, you’ll have to register at the site. Thanks to Sean Ross for the kind words.

Yep. Don will end his show one hour earlier, but he’ll start 2 hours earlier. In other words, he’ll be on the air weekdays from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. US Central Time (1100 to 1700 Universal Coordinated Time).

Micheal Franti & Spearhead – The Sound Of Sunshine
Palmdale – Here Comes The Summer
Daughtry – September

(One of these things is not like the other…)

Hi, it’s Don, the Project Manager. It was on June 15, 2009 that we crossed our eyes and closed our fingers (or something like that) and started broadcasting on the internet full-time. It’s been a fun year, and we’ve learned some stuff along the way. Kind of like a Fat Albert episode. Or one of those “very special episodes” of Full House.

Anyway.

With our first year behind us, we’re taking the next step. Starting today, and every weekday, you’ll hear my dulcet tones as your host from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m US Central Time. I won’t jabber too much, though, because the music is still our top priority. And, as always, it’s commercial-free. I hope you’ll tune in! It’s as easy as clicking that big green button on the top right of the website.

Jaron and the Long Road To Love – Pray For You
Kris Allen – The Truth
Keith Urban – I’m In

There are some of you who listen all day. I’m glad you’re enjoying the station! Thanks so much.

In May, Project 42 Radio had 288 unique listeners from 40 different countries. Thanks again to all of you for trying us out.

Here at the Cave, we’ve been experimenting with the music mix; primarily with playing current hit tracks more often. So we tweaked the playlist and tried that out for a while. Most of you didn’t like that. I mean, really didn’t like that. Many of you told us that you didn’t mind the new tracks, just not as frequently.

We’ve heard, and we’re listening. As of today, we’ve reformulated the music mix. The end result should be even more variety while still bringing you the best of the new music. You shouldn’t hear any repeats at all during the typical American workday (or any time period of that length, for that matter). On the weekends (starting every Friday at 3 p.m. Central Time), we’ll expand the selection even more and play songs that may not get regular play during the week.

Let us know how we’re doing, OK?
