New Artistes, New Playlist at OlioRadio

2009-06-20T21:21:00.002-05:00

It's Summer (in a few hours)! What better way to celebrate extremely uncomfortable conditions weather-wise than by keeping your Internet Radio tuned to OlioRadio, home of the Widest Variety of sounds on Earth. Whether you are cold, hot, dry, or wet, OlioRadio will have recordings to kiss your boo-boo and make it feel better...er, right.

And here's the boo-boo-kissin' Artistes added on the new playlist: Albennie Jones with Sam Price & His Trio - Amos Milburn - Annisteen Allen - Barbra Streisand - Black Flag - Bobby Darin - Christopher Walken - Clint Eastwood - Cream (commercial) - the Dearly Beloved - Don Addams - Dusty Springfield - Elijah and the Ebonites - Fanny (commercial) - Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart (non-commercial) - George Vinton Graham - Husker Du - Jefferson Airplane (commercial) - John Selleck - Johnson, Hawkins, Tatum, and Durr - the Magnetic Fields - Morey Amsterdam - Mrs. Byron Coffin, Sr. - Mrs. Francisco Etcheverry and Matias Etcheverry - Paint It Black - Personics - Rick Springfield - Sex Pistols (commercial?) - Sonny James - Sydney Greenstreet - The Devonaires - The Dirty Mac - The Doors - Wild Bill Moore - and Wynonie Harris.

The new Live365 app is waiting en queue in Apple's Byzantine approval process. However, if you have phones running Windows Mobile v. 5 or v. 6, some models of Blackberry, or a notebook, you can listen right now! Or, you can join me in kickin' it Old Skool & listening to OlioRadio over a non-mobile desktop computer...a Very non-mobile computer. And don't forget: updates & odds & ends always availible via Twitter @clarencejones.
Love and Peace, Clarence

Webcaster Settlement Act of 2009 Passes

2009-06-19T23:02:00.004-05:00

The Webcaster Settlement Act of 2009 has been passed by both the U.S.House & U.S.Senate, & is now awaiting Pres. Obama's signature. (link:Webcaster Settlement Act passes
When it is signed into law, there will be an additional 30 days for any webcaster groups who have Not reached agreement with Sound Exchange for a royalty structure (through either 2010, or it can be extended as far as 2015) for the Copyright (or Performance) Royalties. The groups with no specific agreements include: interactive streamers (Pandora), pure Webcasters (no over-the-air component), aggregaters (Live365, representing the vast majority of it's customers, who have Personal Webcaster packages.), religious broadcasters (those not privy to the agreement between SX & NAB), and others.
Lord, I don't ask for a lot, but PLEASE get us an agreement that gives Live365 (the service used for the past 7+ years by OlioRadio & thousands of other Webcasters) a fighting chance not only to survive but to grow. Without a specific agreement, we're trapped under the CRB decision of 2007, for ridiculously high rates through 2010, and the process has begun for those same fine folks to stick it to us for the period 2011-2015...opps, I mean for the CRB to come up with a fair and equitable decision for the 2011-2015 time period.

No matter your Religion (or lack of it), let us pray...

A Committee of the U.S. House Lies to Our Faces

2009-05-13T19:19:00.003-05:00

Watched the archived Webcast of today's House Judiciary Committee markup session. It was almost all about the Performance Rights Act (making am/fm stations pay copyright royalties for over-the-air music). They now have the text of HR 2344 (the Webcaster Settlement Act of 2009) online. It's tiny. The bill (HR2344) simply extends the deadline for agreements between SX & webcasters not covered under existing agreements to 30 days after the bill becomes law...

In other words, it's a last chance for Live365, Pandora, & other webcasters to get SX to modify the Copyright Royalty Rates ordered to by the Copyright Royalty Board through 2010, & to make agreements to extend out as far as 2015...

In other words, the Judiciary Committee of the U.S.House doesn't care about small, medium, or large Internet Webcasters. It's a bone thrown to us to decieve us into thinking these "Representatives" care. They don't (except for Zoe Lofgren, who is fighting a brave fight for us). This committee appears to be made up of a lot of 'Flashing 12:00's' who profess "concerns" about webcasters and small broadcasters but believe that "instructing the CRB" to treat everyone fairly is all that's necessary.
Small Terrestrial Broadcasters, Welcome to Our Nightmare. Run while you can, or stand & fight alongside us as we are beaten, but never defeated.

"...and Into the Valley of Death rode the Six Hundred..."

Take some pictures on April 22nd and join thousands of other people throughout the world! Earth Day is April 22nd, and the idea is to create a photo-mosaic from images taken that day. All you have to do is:
Take some pictures that day,
Pick one (or more),
Upload it that day on the Earth Mosaic website.
That's all: no cost, no registration, no hassle. And you certainly don't have to be a Pro Photographer (I barely can operate my point-and-click camera). Just take a snap or two on Wednesday April 22nd, and upload one on this site: earthmosaic.org. Join us!

OlioRadio Celebrates Seven Years!

2009-01-30T12:43:00.005-06:00

Yep, on February 1st, OlioRadio will mark seven years of webcasting. It seems like only yesterday that I started streaming recordings over the Intertubes through Live365.com...sigh...[Insert annoying memories of an Elder Geek Here]

To celebrate, I, Clarence Jones (owner-operator and Chief bottle-washer of OlioRadio), promise you a new era of transparency. I've put together a 4 hour (3 hours and 40 minutes for Live365 VIPs - no ads!) special revealing some of MY personal favorite recordings. Finally, I'm giving you a peek at some of my deep-down most-loved tracks, stuff I'd want on a 'desert island' disc...er, along with a disc-player...and electricity or a large supply of batteries.

I take the plastic wrap off this special show at Midnight tonight (that's 12:00am Feb.1 US CST, 6:00am GMT). But do not despair if you can not listen tonight! The show will run at Midnight, 8am, and 4 pm US CST (6am, 2pm, and 10pm GMT)for the next week (Feb. 1-7)! So grab a taste of what I really love to hear on OlioRadio this week! And Thank You to all of you who have contributed to my station and my life. Y'all are Too Cool!
Love and Peace, Clarence

gift suggestion for music fanatics

2008-11-25T19:28:00.002-06:00

1. Open iTunes.
2. Go to the Music Store.
3. Type "complete motown singles" into the search box.
4. Drool at the results, then buy.

Yes all eleven volumes of "The Complete Motown Singles" (year by year) are availible for $59.99 each. Considering that you cannot find the cds on Amazon for that cheap, it's worth the only-128k bitrate quality. After all, they sound better than they did on the (AM) radio originally. And Universal FINALLY did a great job on remastering the Motown vaults.

What some individual gems? How about Diana's swan song to the Supremes, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", in it's full-length 6 minute & 18 second glory (volume 10)...or the cleanest "I Second That Emotion" by Smokey and The Miracles that you've ever heard (volume 7)...well, you can see for yourselves. And of course, you can pick-and-choose the tracks you want for 99 cents each.

Of course, I only know about the US store. iTunes Overseas patrons, ymmv.

Feel free to donate any of the volumes to the OlioRadio library at any time (starting with volume 10). lol
Love and Peace, Clarence

Pace Edie Adams

2008-10-20T18:58:00.002-05:00

I somehow missed this:
Edie Adams, Tony-winning stage actress and widow of Ernie Kovacs, died last Wednesday (Oct.15th) at age 81.
link to story
She was an amazing person. When Ernie died in 1962, she found out that he was over half a million dollars in debt. She worked every job she could get for a year to both pay those off and finance her legal fight for custody of her two step-daughters. She had a Julliard-trained operatic voice, then married a mad genius and spent the rest of her life keeping his legacy alive (& in existance- for dcades few cared if kinescopes & videotape from the 40s & 50s survived, but she did).
She's with Ernie now, so she's happy.
