The radio is back online after our day of silence. I hope it went well. Every other station in my favorites in iTunes were silent as well.

Today I’m going to talk about podcasts. Podcasts are really neat. I love podcasts. Podcasts Podcasts Podcasts. I subscribe to a few podcasts too - Diggnation, Mega64, Keith & The Girl, Ask A Ninja, thisisaknife, and so on… I also have a podcast of my own! Well… WE have a podcast of our own. It’s pretty rad. It has only been updated a little this year thanks to the radio being more of a priority to me. The past few episodes have been DJ mixes that you really should check out. I’m posting two of them today. Just for you! Oh, and I am working on a super rad mix that should be done today probably I hope.

Where’s the music?
The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on July 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!).To protest these rates and encourage you to take action and contact your Congressional representatives, we are taking part in the Day of Silence, by silencing our programming for today.

We ask that you excuse the interruption of our normal programming, and ask that you take action to help ensure this silence is not permanent. Please call your Congressional Representatives today. Click the link below for instructions how:

Thank you.

In other news, it seems that our web host still hates the world and is being slower than jesus.

Robotic Radio plans on joining the hundreds of big & small internet radio stations in the global day of silence. This is to give people a little picture of how most internet radio is going to be after July 15th. Silent.  We will be broadcasting no music. Just some special public announcements here and there. Don’t expect to be able to tune in to most of your favorite stations on Tuesday.

“The arbitrary and drastic rate increases set by the Copyright Royalty Board on
March 2nd threaten the very livelihood of thousands of webcasters and their millions of
listeners throughout the country,” said Jake Ward, a spokesperson for the SaveNetRadio
Coalition. “The campaign to save Internet radio - a genuine grassroots movement
comprised of hundreds of thousands of webcasters, artists and independent labels, and
Net radio listeners - has quickly brought this issue to the national forefront and the halls
of Congress, but there is still more to be done before the approaching deadline of July
15th. On Tuesday, thousands of webcasters will call on their millions of listeners to join
the fight to save Internet radio and contact their Congressional representatives to ask for
their support of the Internet Radio Equality Act.”

I saw Softlightes on Wednesday. That was awesome. Also saw Wolfmother… not so much awesome. I have never been a very big fan of the W. It’s boring. Though, if I was in the band I would totally give kids half-off admission if they brought their Guitar Hero II guitars and rocked out to Woman with me. That is comedy gold right there, people.

Classic video after the cut!

The Bravery gets a rework courtesy of VanShe Tech for their new single. Can’t say that I have actually heard anything from the new Bravery album except for this remix. Just not really interested yet. In other news, VanShe Tech also did a new remix for Feist. I can say that I have heard that one. No one can really say anything bad about a VanShe mix… or Feist.

It’s cool, trust me. The beginning just makes you think ‘why am i watching this again…?’ but the rad part comes with the vocals.

Back in the day, before Recorder was ever around, there was Birthday Boy.

Birthday Boy & Fine / Ultra Fine got their starts writing songs for each other - sort of like talking to each other on the phone but instead through song. It’s no secret that I started F/UF so with that I was the star of this particular Birthday Boy video… cuz i’m b. duh. Ah, memories.

My cat loves boxes… oh shit, i forgot Catday this week. shit.

You saw it here first, ladies & gentlemen… the new ETLO video! Don’t you all stop what you’re doing at once!
