DIY Radio
Nathan Budzinski
It's interesting to find pirate radio
stations popping up throughout Simon Reynolds's essays on
the Hardcore Continuum (which we've been
posting on our site as part of The Wire 300) and how important
they are for disseminating music that's too quick/difficult for
mainstream media to keep up with or handle. In a timely way then, I
ran across this video guide on how to build your own low powered
radio station,
via the free103point9 blog (a NY-based arts radio organisation)
from Radio Free Berkeley. I
suppose now that podcast technology is fairly common and easy to
use the thought of building your own analogue radio station from
scratch can seem exhausting if not pointless... Still, maybe
broadcasting via the radio spectrum can beat the internet for a
feeling of specificity to a place/scene, something that sometimes
gets filtered or flattened out through the ease of the Really
Simple Syndication of iTunes/Blogger/YouTube/MySpace technology...
