The Grotbox is dead!

Long live the Grotbox!

Without going into too much detail, our copy of SAM Broadcaster (bloated, kludgy, lovable mess that it is) is pinin' for the fjords.

Elements of the Beta Bates Software Brigade and Tony Danza for a Brighter Tomorrow are researching solutions.

In the meantime, there will still be Fracture Radio, but our hourly station IDs will be silent.

(Alas, I lost the attribution to the fine CC licensed pic I used here. Just that kinda night, I suppose...)

(Edit - 9:14pm)

Does anyone know of a program comparable to SAM Broadcaster that's freeware? I need something capable of heavy automation, that can use DX effects or Winamp-flavored DSP fx, and can dynamically modify the playlist so we can have our beloved station IDs back. If anyone knows anything, or has a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend that might, please infospew me. Thanks, gang.

Fracture Radio is back up....

Hey, gang! Just letting you know that the Fracture Radio outage starting at 2:40am this morning has been resolved with a little help from our malevolent net overlords at Time Warner. Full service has been restored.

All 2 of you listening can tune back in. <3

(thanks to pyroclastichawk for the image - if I was a computer, I'd look like that every morning!)

This post is the size of Tokyo

So, I was irresponsible last time, and didnt post my set. I can hear you now- "why foley?? why would you DO THIS TO ME??"

Well, my friend, to make up for it, I have made giant mp3 files, zipped them up, sent to sendspace, and said 1000 hail whatevers.

So without further ado, I give you my last two sets. The files contain one loooong file, but you can request individual tracks and, while I would neeever do aaanything illegal, some kind of "arrangement" might be hypothetically reached. You know, in theory.
