Radio Show (KHWS)
Hey peeps. A year or so ago I started an online radio station at my high school -- we now have over 30 DJs, broadcast live 30+ hours a week, and our website recently crossed 60,000 pageviews! Pretty exciting! Running the station takes up a lot of time, but it's a blast. I broadcast Wednesdays at 9 P...

Re: Homemade Tremolo Pedal
Thanks, and yeah it's . Figured I would start with some guidance. I actually am just building a theremin right now! Next pedal I am going to try to build completely from scratch. The etching process doesn't seem too bad at all (I might even just perfboard it), it's the enclosure that seems like it w...

Favorite BJM albums?
I've always loved Methodrone and Their Satanic Majesty's Second Request and have played them to death -- I've never really listened to any of the other albums for some reason! Just been so content and happy with those two albums that I felt like I just didn't need to. Have any of you guys had a simi...

Re: White Hills - US Shows 2012
Argh I want to see 'em so badly when they play at the Echo (it's a pretty sweet small venue in Silverlake) here in LA but it's 18+ and I am 17 and don't have a fake. The Echo pisses me off so much they have so many great shows but almost all of them are 18+. I don't get it... I can understand 21+, b...

Anybody else on here see The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye (recent documentary about Genesis P-Orridge/Lady Jaye Breyer)? Just saw it this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it! Same with the Island President and Jiro Dreams of Sushi! Good weekend for documentaries I guess!

Yo this is my first pedal I've made from scratch (well not totally 'cause I didn't etch the PCB myself, but whatever, I think that's okay for my first time).

Re: Music formats - cassettes, vinyl and beyond
This whole 'mixtape' thing is founded on nostalgia or false nostalgia - who would want to sit for hours carefully compiling and editing a tape of songs when you can burn a CD off in minutes? I was blown away the first time I realized the implications of having a CD burner. And all that fast-forward...

Re: What Are You Listening To Now?
Out of the Eye -- Woods (Sun and Shade)
The whole album is great, as are all of Woods' albums and all albums on Woodsist in my opinion! This track has got a super krautrock-y feel (sorta sounds almost identical to Hallogallo now that I think about it!), most of the album is a bit folk-ier.

Well first I need to get a little bit of cash together to pay the padres since it'd be on their card, so I should rephrase and say I will be ordering soon. Hopefully you don't run out in the next day or two.

Re: Music formats - cassettes, vinyl and beyond
I personally have no problem with any of the formats. I love buying new LPs on vinyl, I love looking through record shops and finding old gems on vinyl. The packaging and the physicality of the music is what makes it so appealing. I think most people on here seem to agree on why they like vinyl/why ...

Hey doods -- I only really started listening to Spiritualized in September, but since then I've been listening non-stop. Something about the sound I think I can just incredibly identify with at where I am at right now, being your typical angsty 17 year old. Just sort of drowning yourself out in it. ...
