Some backchannel update chatter

Up early after nice evening with old friends over for dinner. Mrs. R & and I had been playing our “album wars” thing where we take turns picking/playing sides of vinyl LP records for each other. When N & S arrived, we invited them to join in, and they didn’t need any prodding. We’re all pretty much in the same age range, so lots of 70s music got played, basically. Smiley face.

I wrote a waaaaa crybaby entry on the ~fletk blog about the Sirens of Mothra, who are giving it up after just three hot shows and fewer than 6 months in existence. Waaaaaa!

I started another WordPress blog: spacemoney.wordpress.com for the whole exploding space money experiment. S called it a MEME yesterday. Fuck yeah, I made a meme!

RadioNOT is NOT a meme yet. But I did post another segment over the weekend, and I also installed a little Flash player in ~fletk’s left sidebar, where you can play the current segment (Feb. 23 at the moment). I’ve toyed with the idea of adding pictures and prose to radionot.wordpress.com. That woud be a change in policy. The RadioNOT policy has been to privilege the audio program over any descriptive or supplemental data. Like “real radio” you don’t really know what’s happening next, you don’t have text and pictures to go along with the radio broadcast. The blog is just a portal to listening, it’s a spot on the dial. I could have just made a list of segments in the ~fletk blog sidebar, linking to the archive.org pages where you can play/download each RadioNOT segment. But the WordPress blog as a home base for RadioNOT seemed cooler than just a link list in my sidebar. The main point is to listen to the shows.

Okay, I’m done now. Need to make oatmeal, do some spacemoney painting, make more coffee, and get myself to work. And make a Capella Market blog entry at some point while I work on a bunch of different ads. Mark’s been approving more of those lately for little publications, so that ups the pressure (and fun) for me.
