A white light blazing deep through the wastelands

Sitting at home, doing job foo, listening to LauncCast, when they play Dog and Pony Show. Out of curiosity I go to Amazon to find out which Consolidated albums are still available.
There I found l2g's list of "College Radio Albums That Forever Warped My Musical Tastes". So now I have put aside the high school mix disc and am working on a KBVR disc. Which will be MUCH harder because in order to complete it I have to track down those obscure titles only released on 7" vinyl with a 500 press run and then digitise them. Curse you, Irving.

So let's do it already! I'm dying to listen to those tapes, and discover the treasure contained therein! You and your sexy voice.

Woo! And then we can broadcast them on the net!

Don't think the thought hasn't crossed my mind before. ;-)

Hummmmm.

So how difficult would it be, technically, legally, whatever, to do web broadcasts? Is this a ludicrous idea, the 'Internet Axolotl'?
Am I on crack?

Technically, it is tedious but straightforward. Legally... hmmm. I'm not sure. I'll have to read the Live365.com rules again. I think they are cool as long as you abide by the DMCA (basically you can't play only one artist or track through a whole album at a time) and the songs you pick have publishers affiliated with ASCAP or BMI or SESAC. I really hate that last one, mainly because it means artists like the Headless Chickens and Bill Pritchard are verboten.

You know, I think they also want you to actually own a legal copy of the recordings you put up. Those picky music industry people. :-)

Anyway, I did actually start assembling an Axolotl station on Live365. I just never finished it. I think it's still there, even.

So when you were in Oregon we discussed having you put 'U2' on the web somewhere, and I was supposed to remind you about it when you returned to Washington.
