august 4th video

yeah bitches, here it is



thats hot...

Evan if and when you have some time at the GRL


hey this this is my virgin post but and i wish it could be on a better note but basiclly a really dope graff writer and a good friend to alot of writers in san diego including myself just passed away in the last week from diabetes and left a wife and 2 kids in the world. so I was hoping that you (Evan) could take a minute to look over this graphic and see if you could convert it into a stencil. I will be back in NY tuesday and would love to put my full effort towrds it then as well. i would also like to possibly get some acetate to lazer it on because of durability.

appreciate it

radioforpeople.org, paul sweet radio?

okay I cannot stress, how big of a deal this is. guys, the fcc is giving us the chance to become a legitimate media outlet. the pirate life is going to die, read the sentinal. its time. and not just here, everywhere. show people who have resources to start a radio station before its too late, because from now on the rules are, do what you want: as long as the masons know, -its cool...

"the fcc provides the one week window for the community groups to file station applications

this is a once in a generation oppertunity. the fcc is offering a one week window, oct 12-19 during which non profit community groups in the us can file for an application. this is huge, don't let it go without doing what we can.

Think for a moment what a powerful noncommercial radio station could do in your community... people forget that these are bublic airwaves, and the public is not getting access to them.

and right now, from coast to coast, from alaska, hawaii to florida to maine, people are organizing to reclaim the small portion of the public airwaves there are left. the october fcc application window for full power non commercial fm licenses is an opportunity to make a meaningful longterm contribution to your local media landscape - to help give a voice to the voiceless to carry on the fine tradition... check out getradio.org start your own community radio station, and wipe that smile right off rupert murdoch's face"

to agler, podcasts are a legistical nightmare, and radio is for murdoch, but this is the once chance you have for your show, if agler wants a show and gives a shit, this is how. if he doesn't fine, but basically this is the chance for whoever cares.

I dunno, its a big deal, it might sound confusing, but its not really, run you're own radio station, legit. thats about it, and the fcc wont bust you.

you need to be able to prove that you can support it for 3 months, they make it sound like its about money, that way they want you to think it costs 250'000 dollars, don't let that fool you. you need a place and an antenna, both things we either have or know where to get (for far less than it would cost for murdoch)

this could be self-sustaining as well, do you know how much you can get from sponsors like coffeeshops, venues and local stores? new leaf and staff of life, -all legal because this would be legit.

not to mention, bouncing signals from other stations in other towns, states or countries... people pay to have their show played in other areas they cant reach, -have the show streamed live (save maybe 30 seconds) to your station and broadcast it out, -totally legit, and fcc approved. -they pay big money for that, -thats how 91.9 survives (bbc)

sounds kind of interesting to me, we could have a reggae show in the trees, and then rent out a latino show, etc.

think about people who don't have this opportunity. A source for getting internet content broadcast on radiowaves is widely needed.

ask for new york, its good there too, you guys should do what you can or find someone you know to do it. this is probably much more significant over there where you have a larger population per foot ratio!

my house and the mackie board

so r2 came over today and we went through all my shit: trinity, 57channel mackie board and tascam mx2424 digital recorder with 24 inputs, 24bit 48kilihertz


speaking of which, we need 3 25pin to 8XLR snakes
and studio monitors, (speakers with xlr on the back for the board...)

heres some pics... shout out to millz, I'm down to meet tomorrow on the phone early, r2 if no one reaches you before then, let it be known we want to phone conference tomorrow around 10 I heard, you should tell me who what when and where to call... feel bad not knowin...


















so theres more, but thats the gist of it, I might of missed a pic, let me know r2, if you notice one...

power cords needed on the drum machine (9 volt weird end) and power cord needed on the digital video interface.

monitor speakers needed for the mackie, tdif cords, umm, looks like this is super lucas, like star wars shit, -but its fucking old, and came out a good 6 months before usb and the imac, so this is all serial cords, the most tech shit on this is ethernet, so serial cords and ethernet are what we have to work with for now.

the mackie machine is a computer, we should be able to install newer cards, I'm going to say I want to put in a couple hundred gigabytes of space and some sort of digital card, maybe firewire? resident nerd: we'll probably need to figure out how hard it is to update the OS and to fix the firmware and maybe drivers for new cards? regular motherboard with pci bust, should be a way...

anywho...

douglas aitken

wow, Doug Aitken... people from new york, you probably know already. but westcoasters, respect. if you ever were wondering why? this is why...

apple new mac updates and totally new imovie

not a place to post this but its way important. imac updates and ilife went through the roof, particularily imovie, a video engineer went and completely built an entirely new movie editor for mac, and is far superior to any consumer app out, in fact I think it rivals final cut. It's definitely easier to use and has better features than final cut. the only thuing about it that I don't like is you can't cut the videos up with a razor like coke, I thought that was pretty glamourous...

but yeah, anyone who cares about video should be stoked...
