So last night I visited the WMBR, MIT’s radio station, which is located in the basment of the Walker Memorial Building (now do you get why we’re “WMBR” and not something like “MITR”? ;D) They showed us around and we all signed membership forms to become official members of the station!
There’s a large room (that used to be a two-lane bowling alley) in the station that’s called the “record library”. As the name hints, it’s full of nothing but vinyl records and CDs of every kind of music imaginable. They have quite a large collection of world music (which I will be thoroughly invading to find new songs to sing for SnM and potentially MITsonix if that ever gets off the ground). I was a little disappointed at their lack of electronica, though.
To remedy this, I decided I’d sign up to DJ for a show. Naturally, I would be blasting electronica music (and by that I mean anything in the dance, trance, techno, psychedelic, ambient, breakbeat, synth, etc. genres) in addition to some various world music tracks (yes, Asian pop -will- appear from time to time ;D). I’m also looking forward to being able to blast world Christmas music; I recently relistened to Andromaeda’s composition MERRY CHRISTMAS ~ a World of Melody (which SnM will be singing this holiday season) and felt compelled to share the awesomeness with everyone, so maybe I’ll broadcast that on my station! If I feel sly enough, maybe I’ll even toss in some SnM music, but I’d have to be discrete about that one. I guess I could use it to advertise for MITsonix too? Maybe? I’ll have to check to see if that’s against studio policy though.
In SnM news, we were able to put out three releases in three days, and work on the Xmas album is slowly picking up, so I’ll definitely be plenty busy this coming year. I suppose I should start poring over my textbooks a bit more, but as today is a vacation, I figured I’d spend it making devilled eggs, reading some books, and working on some SnM business (things that I won’t be able to easily do once school starts…)
