You can follow In the Mosh Pit on Twitter or Facebook.

The main difference is that it’s clean. Gone is the black background and excess images. In it’s place the easy on the eyes white background, with greyish text. Navigation to the main parts of the site are at the top and the side, as are links to our presence on our social media sites.

On those subjects, our Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr groups are standbys, as is the ability to check-in with us on Foursquare (or follow us, though being a radio station we don’t move much). Ustream is one of your options for our live online feed and you can scrobble along with last.fm.

Mixcloud

The two new ones we’d like to draw your attention to are Mixcloud and Tumblr. First Mixcloud. You may have noticed that our podcast feeds have dried up as of late. To make a long story short, the service we previously used to publish our shows has moved away from the audio distribution service. While we figure out how best to move forward, a few of our volunteers have hopped onto Mixcloud. It’s an online streaming service aimed at re-thinking radio for the digital age. We believe in letting our listeners listen to us when and where they want, and Mixcloud has an easy to use follow/follower model. So far UNBC Sports Studio, Almost Mainstream, and Thanks, Babe have moved in this direction, and if it works out, more to come– keep your eyes on our Mixcloud group as more come on board.

Tumblr

Tumblr is something we’ve tried in the past, but are jumping on again. If you’re not familiar, it’s a micro-blogging service great for sharing pictures, audio, quotes, and more. We’ve started up a new one and are going to do just that– follow along there for multimedia entertainment (like this new song from Nathan Kelly and the Arbitrarys).

Blog

As for this space, we’re going to keep on using it for news and updates. Some series are in the works, too– more on that as we move into 2012.

So, what do you think? Let us know what you think (or if you notice any mistakes– this is still beta) in the comments on here, or on Facebook/Twitter!

The things you’ve endured!

Weak signals. Static. Choppy internet streams.

It’s been tough.

But we are nearing the end of this slog.

We have been upgrading.

We have been assessing.

We have been listening.

And we are in the homestretch.

Assuming the world doesn’t end, 2012 will be CFUR’s year. Keep your eyes on this space and your ears on your radio.

After feasting your eyes and ears on this, of course.

Sorry!

UPDATE: Everything should be working fine!

It’s time for school to start again, and that rabbit pretty much sums up how I’m feeling about it.

I’d like to apologize to my many fans and listeners. . . for having such inconsistent shows over the past few months.  I managed to record a few gems when I could, but oh, sigh.  It’s just not the same when you can’t hear me every week.

My new slot for September is now Friday MORNINGS from 10-11am.  I’ve had zero success with early morning radio shows, so naturally I thought the best move for my career would be to start early.

Keep listening!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, there was no new episode of Bad, Not Cheap this morning!  A very devastating disappointment, indeed.  However, be sure to tune in to the repeats this week, as a new episode will magically appear later on this week.

The upcoming episode will be a killer.

If you’ve been curious about hosting your own radio show, now is a great time to start.  Even if you can’t continue in September, having a summer radio show would be an excellent way to enjoy the heat and stay involved in the community.

For the staff at CFUR, we’ve had to change our hours to accommodate our summer schedules, so some times getting a hold of one of us can be tricky.  If you have any questions or would like to drop in, be sure to email us beforehand to have your questions answered, or to set up an appointment.

DJ Psycho Steve would like to thank all his loyal listeners and fans of  Hiphopnautic and take the time to welcome new listeners as well.

It is for you all that t he show must go on.  So be sure to  Tune in everyWednesday night at 8PM for the Newest, Live edition of Hiphopnautic and remember if you miss the show, no worries it repeats throughout the week;  Fridays at 10pm, Sundays at 9Pm and for all you night owls Tuesday mornings at 3am. 

I would love to hear from you all.  Send me your requests, your comments, or your concerns to hiphopnautic@cfur.ca.   For goodness sakes tell me something, tell me anything   Tell me how I’m doing.  Hell tell me how I can better entertain you.   But seriously folks……  *Note that all concerns, especially those of parents and or guardians will be swiftly and promptly dismissed, and may be read aloud during live broadcast strictly as comic relief.   But seriously folks thank you for not bringing any concerns to my attention….

 I am always on the prowl for new talent and the freshest, dopest songs I can find.  If it’s music to my ears, it’s your ears to the music baby.  If it ain’t gonna make yo mamma’s hair turn grey, it probably don’t belong on Hiphopnautic.   I am always in contact with a wide variety of  artist locally and abroad, and you know they be begg’n DJ Psycho Steve to play that funky music.  Go White Boy, Go White Boy, Go!  Follow me on twitter @DJPsychoSteve and don’t forget to follow the rest of the gang @CFURRadio.

A special thank you to Phil (MC Philosophy) of BC Central Playaz Entertainment for taking time out of your busy schedule to prepare the above photo of me,  Cheers!

Over the last year, there’s been a big growth in Prince George’s electronic scene– just look at CFUR’s new shows, Dance to Trance, Basshead Radio, and Databass, if you want proof. As if that weren’t enough, now the world’s biggest DJ is coming to town on April 27. That’s right, Tiesto will be playing live at the CN Centre– and we want to help you get there.

All you need to do is tune in to the beat.wav block of programming on Saturday nights, starting at 6 pm through until 9. During that time, our DJs will explain how to win that night’s tickets (It will be something like calling a specific number, watching a youtube video we’ve posted or knowledge based)

If you qualify, then yourself along with others who qualify are put in to a hat and one name is drawn at random to win two floor tickets for yourself and a friend!

*NOTE* : Dislike battling odd’s to win a prize? Dramatically increase your chance of winning by entering in on the next weekend. We’re keeping records of those who enter, so if you’ve entered once before and didn’t win, enter again the following weekend and we’ll increase your odds. Here’s how it works :

Weekends consecutively entered :

First entery : 1 slip

2 weekends : 2 slips

4 weekends : 3 slips

6 weekends : 4 slips

7 weekends : 5 slips

(The slips are what we write your name on and draw out to decide the winner. Once you win you can’t re-enter, just so it’s fair for everyone else. Weekends MUST be consecutive, if you miss a weekend your odds go back to normal!)

So tune in to CFUR Radio, 88.7 fm or online at cfur.ca/listen, follow beat.wav on Facebook, and enjoy the show!
