Shoutcast radio

[Brendan]

What do you guys think? An official WTFMan radio?

We could probably talk to ryan about the hosting of it, its completely free, and fun.

I know how to use everything, although I don't want to be in-charge of it or anything, I just like DJing.

Discuss.

I'd be down for that. Wish we had this back in the day so we could have had a live Q&A forum back when we had a lot of viewers with a lot of the same questions.

What kind of music you thinking?

[Brendan]

It's live streaming, so whatever the hell the DJ has.

I like listening to classic rock, but really I'm down for nearly everything except heavy metal/death metal/people who can't sing, just scream into the mic.

Whoa! You shouldn't say people in Heavy Metal bands can't sing. That's incorrect. Some aren't great singers but many are extremely talented. I've heard less talented singers in alternative. Pearljam, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool.

But I think it's a cool idea. I like the late 80's to early 90's to todays current stuff.

It's not always a matter that they can't sing. But, I mean. Let me link you to a video of a band called Six Feet Under, ruining an awesome song by AC/DC.

I almost died when I heard that.

oh I call dibs on a dj spot.

[Judas Deceit]

nighthawk you need to devise some kind of plan to bring in the people once again.. Just saying I like the idea a lot but right now i think you would have very very few listeners. Can I have a daily rant segment? or todays internet wtfmoment of the day segment? I have college journalism skills bro!

Well, PM Me if you wanna get this going. If Ryan can host it that'd be great. I think I still have FTP to one of his dedi's, I would have to get onto him about it first though.

I actually just stopped paying for a Shoutcast server. I could get one real cheap, but I won't have any money until payday next thursday. It's only about $5 though. If someone can hook me up with that 3 bucks, I can get the shoutcast server within 24 hours.

I'm getting kinda eager to start DJing again.

Hit me up.

EDIT: Just checked up, it's 2.50 pounds for 25 listeners to broadcast at 64kbps (the bit rate). I only have about $4 in my bank account, which I need to pay for my vent server. So yeh, as I said. I can get this hooked up, but not until next week unless ryan can host it, but I don't see him on here anymore.

I would DJ tons also, tons of music available.

I specialize in indie rock, and underground hip hop.
