Cute indie rock band of Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn. Surprisingly catchy cover tunes.

Here's one that got stuck in my head. Lady Gaga, of all things.

We've re-enabled the RadioZ stream again, and added in some new CC content from our friends at Jamendo. We've added in Binarpilot, Speedsound, Vate, and C.J. Rogers.

Pandora: CONGRESSIONAL EMERGENCY!!!

Listeners we need your help... NOW!

After a yearlong negotiation, Pandora, artists and record companies are finally optimistic about reaching an agreement on royalties that would save Pandora and Internet radio. But just as we've gotten close, large traditional broadcast radio companies have launched a covert lobbying campaign to sabotage our progress.

Yesterday, Congressman Jay Inslee, and several co-sponsors, introduced legislation to give us the extra time we need but the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), which represents radio broadcasters such as Clear Channel, has begun intensively pressuring lawmakers to kill the bill. We have just a day or two to keep this from collapsing.

This is a blatant attempt by large radio companies to suffocate the webcasting industry that is just beginning to offer an alternative to their monopoly of the airwaves.

Please call your Congressperson right now and ask them to support H.R. 7084, the Webcaster Settlement Act of 2008 - and to not capitulate to pressure from the NAB. Congress is currently working extended hours, so even calls this evening and over the weekend should get answered.

Very cool Fader article from 2007 on the origin of Daft Punk and the philosophy behind their disguises.

The FADER - USA: DAFT PUNK IS HERE!

There were always people eager to expose the group.s faces. (This element still exists, as a video of the undisguised duo DJing at a Milwaukee rave in 1996 recently appeared online.) In 2001, Daft Punk hoped to eradicate this problem when they debuted their robot costumes along with their second album and first masterpiece, Discovery. Devised by directors Alex & Martin and built by make up and animatronics effects creator Tony Gardner (whose credits range from Three Kings to Seed of Chucky), the robots gave them a way to hide their identities, but were bizarre enough to keep Daft Punk culturally compelling. The press played along, dutifully printing quotes from the group stating .We are robots now,. and recounting their story about how their bodies were irreparably damaged on September 9, 1999, when a sampler in their studio exploded.

Sing "Sweet Home Alabama". Pretty surreal.

I've rebuilt the shoutcast server on Radio Zuckervati, and fiddled with the page code in order to separate the different radio streams. I've made a separate one for each of the EFF Talk Radio, Freedom Fries, and Radio Zuckervati. If the stream is running, you should be able to see clickable images in the left column that look like this:

It's all in beta right now, and a lot depends on bandwidth and server power. So check back periodically. I should have things ironed out soon.

Radio will be offline for the next little while -- some connection problems an buffering issues need to be addressed.

Been up and down this week. Hopefully the router will stay fixed for the next little while. Ran a firmware upgrade, and it should be stabilized.

We're back online again, and I've sorted out the network connections with some snappy new hardware. Radio should no longer be choppy and unlistenable.
