Quietmusic

The first Quietmusic program on KYOT aired on Sunday November 13, 1994. 15 years and 780 programs later, here’s another one. I cannot completely and comprehensively express the gratitude I feel to those who have listened to the program on a regular basis; to the many managers and staff members at KYOT for keeping the program on the air through the years; to the sponsors and advertisers who have supported the show; to the programmers around the country who carried the show in syndication, to my friends at WestStar for distributing the program far and wide around North America; and to the faithful fans of this program who have contacted and emailed me with their love, encouragement, and appreciation.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Here’s Hour Two from this morning’s broadcast:

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:
