Alizée on the radio!

I meant to play the others (including mibir's regular request for Sublime), but we're training new DJs now, and there was a session in the air studio. Thus, I got stuck broadcasting from the production studio, with the old and crappy equipment. No aux feed, which meant no iPod, so no non-CD tracks. I don't have Unwritten Law or Sublime (or AFI) on CD, so I couldn't play those tracks. Sorry!

Any weird glitches you heard...songs sort of starting, stopping, then starting again...weird fades and distortion...was all due to broadcasting from the "other" studio. I haven't heard the recording yet, but I'm not looking forward to it...

Apparently the problems were bigger than that. There were actually more "blips" than I was aware of...something is wrong with our connection. Here's an excerpt from an e-mail I just received:

Hello everyone. I've gotten some reports in the past few days of trouble with CD players. What you're hearing is actually a dropout in the ISDN connection between our studios and the high school. I've been monitoring the problem since yesterday, and it seems to be getting worse. At times it's happening every 10 minutes. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it until Monday.

If it happens during your show, you might hear a BLOOP sound and then a few seconds of silence, a skipping cd sound, and then everything's normal again. Do not stop what you're playing. If it doesn't come back within a few seconds, make sure you are actually playing something (are the meters for program moving?) and call someone (me).

I've attached an mp3 of what it usually sounds like when the ISDN drops out. Anyone listening over the air or on our streams will hear this happen.

And shortly after my show, the connection was completely dropped. I'm sure all of this will be taken care of soon. I don't know if you listen to any other shows on the station, but if so I'll keep you guys posted.

I was wondering what happened, there was someone talking about training new DJ's and then nothing...

PS: What was that last song you played again?

[DJ_Greg]

Idlewild - "In Remote Part / Scottish Fiction" from The Remote Part
