Quietmusic

There’s a new website from the UK that’s been getting attention in the tech world these days—it’s Mixcloud, a site that gathers and aggregates radio programs and music mixes. It’s kind of like a radio version of YouTube. Right now the site is dominated by electronic musicians and DJs from Britain, but I’m sure the rest of us will fill in the gaps in the future. The interface is quite simple and the site is very easy to navigate. It’s not a downloading site (just streaming) and the site’s owners are taking care of music licenses and royalty issues, which is something I appreciate.

I’ve already uploaded a couple of hours worth of last week’s QM show. You can access my profile page at this URL: http://www.mixcloud.com/quietmusic/
Look around, give it a listen and let me know what you think.

Another cool thing is the ability to create a widget for each “cloudcast” (their term). I can put a widget on this site, and you can put the same widget on yours, though they don’t have one for Facebook yet.

Here’s the widget…Click and enjoy:

Wow. What a difference a week makes. On Monday Morning, KYOT called me with an offer to keep Quietmusic on the air there. They came up with some funds to keep the show going for 13 more weeks. (And once their 2009 budgets are squared away, the show will continue until further notice). So tune into the Coyote this Sunday. I’ll be there. If you’re outside Phoenix and want to listen online, the show airs from 7-10am (MST). Thanks again for your support.
