We talked vaguely about possibly Thursdays from 4-6 pm PST, but that could EASILY change. I should know definitively by Wednesday, and then I would start the following week. I wanted to do late afternoon (as opposed to evening) so people on the east coast could hear it too (7-9 pm EST). UK people could also potentially hear it, but it'd be pretty late for them (Midnight - 2 am). What time would that be in Japan? 7-9pm EST Thursday = 9-11am Friday. That works for me since I don't work until 130pm on Fridays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromancer Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Way to go Goobs. I'm sure it will be a blast. I did college radio back in 83 and LOVED it. You'll be awesome i'm sure. Keep us updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Really fantastic news Goobs. The internet is revolutionising radio, giving it back to those who love the music... I'm looking forward very much to listening in (and sending in a request (*) 'from one of our international listeners in the UK' - how cool will that be to say?!) Disco (*) The request, mind, is likely to be "Play some proper music you unreconstructed hippy!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Death Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Sounds pretty cool... and I'm full of envy. I'd love to do something like that... and I'll try and tune in. Dunno if my AT&T Fire and Brimstone 1.3 internet connection will allow it, but I'll definitely try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different strings Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 awesome news DJ Gary be sure to post us the link as I probably won't be able to catch the show live. I would love to hear your "radio" voice but make sure that you dont play too much 60's music hey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-D-RocK- Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 No doubt - radio is a fun gig. Even more fun if you don't have to follow a format or playlist all the time. The last station I worked at always had crappy music programmers. I would always cringe at most of the music I had to play.....once or twice I even apologized to the listeners for crap that was thrust upon them. Now and then some good stuff would be played though, including Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Ok, so it's confirmed that I'll be playing Thursdays 4-6 PST (5-7 MST, 6-8 CST, 7-9 EST). My first show will be Thursday, December 28th, and I'd love people to tune in over their computers! You might want to try the link now to make sure it will work for you when the time comes. Click on http://www.kskq.org/ and then click on "Listen Live". It seems like you can use Real Player, iTunes, WinAmp or Windows Media Player. I'll be able to track during the show how many listeners are listening, so I hope to see you there! I'll be sure to throw in a Rush track during the show, one that will hopefully be an unexpected choice. Peace & Love, Gary (Goober) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Ok, forgive making a second thread about this, but I figured not everyone would catch my Music of the Spheres thread, which will be the more ongoing one where I will add playlists etc. So for those that don't know, I'll be doing a two-hour weekly radio show at a local community-based radio station on Thursdays from 4-6 PST (7-9 EST) starting this Thursday, December 28th. The details of how to tune in are here: http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?show...20entry752430 I hope to get some TRF peeps to check me out, hear the music I'm into (late 60's psychedelic and 70's progressive for the most part) and hear my "not great, but it'll do" radio voice. This radio station for the moment only broadcasts over the internet, but they're working on broadcasting locally in the nearish future over the airwaves as well. I won't be able to be online while broadcasting, but if people want to talk in the chatroom during my show, feel free and I'll join in soon after the show is over (I live close by to the station). Send me prayers and/or good vibes. I'm a bit nervous doing my first show! Peace & Love, Gary (Goober) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromancer Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 You'll be fine. Pretend your typing and let that online personality come through. It's easy. I did it in college and it was a blast. You'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-D-RocK- Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Cool Goobs.....I'll be listening in from way up here at Diavik Diamond Mine....possibly your most northern listener. Don't worry, I'll give you honest feedback on your performance, including constructive criticism and not-so constructive criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestand Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Wait, Vito is still there? I thought he was gone. By the way, you've got an amazing voice, I can't believe no one's picked you up. And I'm not saying that because I know you, you honestly have a kickass voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just the "fill-in" guy so far, so I don't have a bio or picture on the website, alas. Yeah, I noticed they have Vinnie's picture up for "who's on." I'm filling-in for Vinnie all this week; he's filling-in for a vacationing Uncle Vito in the afternoons. Vito is most definitely still here. Personally, neither my wife nor I "get" him; we can't understand how he's lasted this long on the station. I like to think I'm better than he is, and better than the overnight guy, John Clark, who's a little too "jock-like" in his delivery. Thanks for your compliments regarding my voice. Hopefully I can turn this part-time and fill-in gig into a full-time slot. Best, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, "Vito's House Party." That used to air in the evening - only weekend evenings, if I remember correctly. His original "image" was that of an Italian gangster, and he still tries to portray that role... but anyone who's met him in person - perhaps representing the station in the community - would soon discover he's an overweight 50-year-old nerd. You're young, but perhaps you might remember him from his role on Fox 23 as "Ranger Danger," a northeast forest ranger who introduced the cartoon programs to the kids. Same guy... although he hasn't done that in about ten years or more. I don't get him - can't understand how he's lasted at PYX106 so long. Perhaps it's because he's a "company man" who loves nothing more than promoting the station. (Even his car's license plate is "PYX 106.") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
