The event will actually run from 4:30 PM - 8:00 PM on Thursday, May 7th. With that being the case, I would say we need about 4-6 volunteers to help out with tabling in shifts.<br /><br />The marketing team will have a more concrete description of what tabling will entail next week. For now, however, we know it will at least involve letting potential listeners know about the content we have available and a sign-up sheet for potential producers of summer content. And it will likely involve the distribution of granola bars/WNSR information.<br /><br />If you are available to table during all or part of the 4:30 - 8 PM timeslow, please comment on this blog entry with the hours you can help out. Thanks everyone!<br /><br />GeorgeGeorgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16429479882722846892noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297232899590926921.post-38160363771126144002009-04-24T07:46:00.001-07:002009-04-24T08:03:45.755-07:00unofficial announcement from Joseph B.

I like the flash feature in the right corner of the page but the site needs more imagery, such as some pictures to coincide with the postings. Also, the color choice of purple, red and white is questionable. I liked the colors of the original website better because it had more of a unique look and feel.<br /><br />I like the Web 2.0 sharing features that were added, but the postings have to have more of a clear formatting; they look sort of jumbled together. Maybe something that creates a visual break between one post and the next would help? Overall, I think the new design needs some visual interest added.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297232899590926921.post-61311365618000290602009-04-21T18:04:00.001-07:002009-04-21T18:06:57.774-07:00WNSR Drive missingDear class:<br /><br />I've already emailed everyone on this, but the whereabouts of our station's hard drive are currently unknown, and this is obviously cause for alarm.<br /><br />The last known location of the drive was Audio Suite 3 on Wednesday night 4/15 for the newscast.

We have no way to report charts like BMI, CMJ, Top 200, etc. Also we figure that most DJ sets or other music programming is determined by the individual DJ who most likely has a set idea of the content that they want to play. It is certainly something that we can get started on as I'm sure we have many people at WNSR that have contacts within the industry. That said we have created a tentative place to have any of your contacts (labels, students, your band, promotion companies etc.). Send us digital music by loging onto:<br /><br />wnsrarchives@gmail.com password: spring2009<br /><br />To upload music, click on the documents tab at the top, and then browse for the file and click upload.<br /><br />We were also discussing our music library... We are determined to get at least one 1TB drive where people can share their music and where we can archive the music that has been on our shows. This would require diving into our budget, or getting a tremendously dedicated group of students who want to throw down $20 bucks or so to get a 1TB drive under $300. So keep that in mind...<br /><br />In conjunction with the archiving issues, we are concerned about the search functions on the website. We would like to work with the web team in creating an online digital library that is search able, so that the music can be easily located. This includes any music on the drive and music located on our shows.garret hurley (cg flatts)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15847578635778243275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297232899590926921.post-3077311016466104822009-04-01T11:34:00.000-07:002009-04-01T11:46:35.352-07:00Delays in site updates, etcDear class:<br /><br />It's Jim Briggs here to inform you of some recent developments that have delayed the posting of some of your production work.<br /><br />As Joe Plourde noted, our station hard drive had some significant data-structure issues that required my taking it out for maintenance and running several diagnostics and repair programs on it. This went beyond the usual Disk Repair utility that all Macs have and it contributed to the delay.<br /><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">A NOTE FOR ALL STATION HARD DRIVE USERS</span>:<br />1) Please make sure to <span style="font-weight: bold;">EJECT or UNMOUNT the drive before disconnecting, EVERY TIME</span> you use it. NEVER, EVER, EVER disconnect it before ejecting, or before the station is shut down.<br />2) For whatever reason, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Audio Suite 2</span> seems to very much dislike our drive. If you plan to use Audio Suite 2, do not connect the WNSR drive to the workstation. Instead use the suite's <span style="font-weight: bold;">Work in Progress</span> drive, drag your whole project to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Drop Box</span>, and copy it to the station drive from another workstation for backup.<br />3) Now more than ever, we remind you that you will benefit from owning either your own 7200 RPM Firewire drive for running sessions directly as well as backup, or a slower / USB drive for backup and storage. In these situations, you can guarantee that you have your work and will not lose it because it exists in two places. If you're in the market for a drive, or want to know what is the best way to format it for using on school stations, <a href="mailto:BriggsJR@newschool.edu">contact me</a>.<br /></blockquote>Also, over the past few days our administrative password to the <a href="http://newschoolradio.org">newschoolradio.org</a> site was somehow compromised and we had to go into our databases to reset this. In the interim, our site was down and our content and programming managers were unable to update the site. We appreciate your patience and also your respect for and careful attention to procedure during this time and in the future.<br /><br />Our hope is that with the new site, the responsibility and the exciting prospect of making this YOUR space will be more realistic; we're hoping that with what the web team has to present this Friday we will see this vision in action.<br /><br />Lastly, you can expect that your productions will be appearing on the site in the coming days if you do not already see it on there and have made a prior deadline.<br /><br />Best,<br />JimUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297232899590926921.post-41659675243210606082009-03-31T05:37:00.000-07:002009-03-31T05:41:51.110-07:00WNSR Station DriveDear WNSR community,<br /><br />Yesterday we encountered some serious problems with the WNSR station hard drive. Luckily, Jim was able to take the hard drive home and fix the problem late last night. However, the drive will not be back at 55 W. 13th St. until Wednesday. Also, this may serve as a rude awakening to the fact that we need a more solid set of procedures for utilizing the station drive so that we don't run into this problem again. So be ready for a few procedural changes. <br /><br />Also, if you see Jim, bow down and thank him for saving all of your audio files and/or session data. <br /><br />-Joe PlourdeJoe Peehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01937772935806512150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297232899590926921.post-89727588276017702242009-03-30T18:33:00.000-07:002009-03-30T18:36:15.072-07:00WNSR & New School Jazz & Contemprary MusicHey everyone... Some quick news to spark the sparks...<br />There has been profound interest and desire expressed by New School Jazz & Contemporary Music to have a presence on WNSR in some capacity.<br />Currently, there is a large amount of material <b>already recorded</b> or about to be recorded<br />of different ensembles that exist at the Jazz school.<br />I will emphasize that the material is a range of styles and materials outside the genres of Jazz<br />and would emphasize that the CONTEMPORARY side of the music would be quite present in most cases. Pertinent information regarding these ensembles and the people involved can be<br />learned and acquired to shed more light on the recordings themselves... research is good.<br /><br /><b>I write you now to garner who would be interested in incorporating this material or allowing for new, live material on an existing or approaching music show/program?</b><br />There is material already recorded... can an existing show perhaps include some of NS Jazz music in its rotation?<br />Can a live band from NS Jazz come and perform from time to time through WNSR?<br />I can aid in connecting interested parties with the powers that be at NS Jazz to facilitate this endeavor.... and facilitate interested students to those who want to build a show with this in mind.<br /><br />The pros of this relationship with Jazz allows for:<br />• More of a cross-pollination between the different schools.<br />• Relationships begin for musical composition needs for Media Studies, soundtracks for short-films, animations etc...<br />through fostering this connection and a pipeline through which students at Jazz can connect with the NS body as a whole.<br />• Original programming that is endemic to the New School and the New School only.<br />• Most material has already been recorded, all it would need is someone interested in learning more about the ensembles,<br />the students and a show can be built around it.<br />• COMMUNITY BUILDING!!!!!<br /><br />You may ask: Why don't I do it?<br />Well.

STEM CELLS IN THE CITY PSA!!!Hi all,<br />In the link for spots, there should be a new spot/PSA advertising Lang's Stem Cells in the City series this spring.

Since you are all supposed to put spots in your shows anyway, I was hoping that some of you would be able to use this one immediately for their next show. Hope all is well!<br />Joe PlourdeJoe Peehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01937772935806512150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297232899590926921.post-53502118086064343702009-03-25T19:53:00.001-07:002009-03-25T20:08:00.696-07:00BUDGET MEETING, GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS.Tomorrow I am recording the Developing an Operating Budget meeting at 3pm in the Theresa Lang Community & Student Center, 55 W. 13th 2nd floor. <div><br /></div><div>Then, I'm swinging over to Wollman Hall to record the "Girls, Girls, Girls" panel discussion at 6pm. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you want to learn the most basic of field recording techniques: plugging into the board, then join me! </div><div><br /></div><div>also, the operating budget thing could be a news item? </div>hethrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700701072068075507noreply@blogger.com0
