Playing with LaunchCast
Wednesday June 23, 2004 – 4:00 pmI’ve been messing around with the stuff that came with my SBC Yahoo! DSL account. Launchcast is pretty neat-o, it forced me to turn on my Windows machine, heheh. Wanna hear my station? I just set it up, I’m still tweaking the artists and stuff. I like so many kinds of music it’s more a process of elimination than anything… I’ve done a lot of ratings but I’m still catching it playing songs I would *never* wanna hear. It’s getting better though. I’ve loaded it up with my own music and other me-related stuff of course. (Recommended by fans of Edith Frost: "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service. OK, whatever!)
Man, I wish I could be a real DJ. This isn’t the same thing at all, but it is fun to play with.

I love snipurl.com!
You know edith, I think with your account, you can choose people to "influence" your station, if they share similar tastes to you or if they have a lot of ratings in an area you are interested in.
Oh, and here is the Launch Information project, which would make finding the artist who are on Launch a lot easier…
Enjoy,

Thanks Matthew! I’m listening to your station now, and put it in my HLOM so I won’t lose it.

Scary thing is… I am an influencer for two of the major people at LC too… shudder at that thought… hehehe

Speaking of radio stations, my big brother hosts a country music show for a community station in NY. You should check out this week’s playlist at http://www.wjffradio.org/programs/country/countrycrossroads.html. I think you’ll be pleased!
