A very long distance dedication

Modulatio(n)

I just heard Sage Francis’s excellent “Got up this morning”. This is not, in and of itself, terribly surprising, since I really love the song, and Sub-Evil Boy gave me the album (Human the death dance) for my birthday a few months ago. The cool part here was that I was listening to KUMM from 25% of the way around the world (pretty cool for a station with less broadcast wattage than my computer is using), and I requested it via the wonders of IM.

Wow. That was fun.

Oh – I guess I need to do the dedication part. So I’ll send that one out to Sub-Evil, both for giving me the CD and for being a cool song writing and performance partner.

It’s amazing how they can fit an entire radio station in those little glass fibers

That's David down the end
Today (no doubt inspired by my visit with Cory) I finally got around to wiring up the (not terribly impressive) speakers in my monitor in the office and ginning up the mighty U-90 Alternative! Yup, I was tying up valuable trans-Atlantic bandwidth, listening to Morris’s finest radio station, streaming in real-time from Minnesota here to the UK through little glass fibers buried in the ocean floor.

And it was sweet, and very rarely smelled of seafood.

Actually, it wasn’t quite as cool as it might have been, since all I got was the loop – apparently there were no live DJs in the studio this morning. This was a serious bummer, as my plan was to IM the poor DJ and freak them out with the news that someone was listening all the over in the UK. There’s always tomorrow, though, and many more days after that.
