RRURadio Changelist 1: RRURv2


McJobless

Welcome. Please, make yourself comfortable. For once, you may take off your pants if you feel life it. Let's be calm and relaxed.

So, as you may or may not be aware, I recently just finished school, and have one more exam left. Because of this, and the fact I will not be attending schoolies because of some passport issues, I will be dedicating my time to updating the radio. Previous versions of the radio from LZ and I were just a big list of songs, with new music added to the end. There was no variety, no shuffling, nothing about RRU and no "DJ" in a sense.

I want to change that by bringing about Rock Raiders United Radio, Version 2. There are going to be a lot of changes, and I'd like to see the radio feature become a lot more used than it is.

Firstly, 205 songs is too much. The radio gets way too cramped and nobody listens to the songs at the bottom. So, every week the current songs will be shuffled and a couple changed, and every fortnight, all of the songs will be cleared, and a new list of songs will be included. User-input is always important, and thus I'll be opening a survey which allow you to vote for your song picks to be included, as well as vote for songs currently in the playlist which will be changed.

Secondly, RRU Radio should be about RRU. Because of this, I want to include some RRU content. With your permission, I'd like to upload segments from Skype chats, previously made RRU podcasts and voice recordings, as well as various clips from the multiple quote conglomerations on the site. Depending on how much content gets sent to me, the playlist should include new stuff weekly, with old stuff being swapped out.

Thirdly, a good DJ hosts his radio properly, introduces each song and does his own shtick. Therefore, hopefully I'll be able to do just that. Of course, my voice is terrible, so I might swap in other people from time to time. I'll be giving news surrounding RRU, talking about upcoming songs, reviewing maps and mods and anything else I can think of.

If there's anything else which I should do, please comment below. Note that this is currently using Grooveshark, which is somewhat limited in its abilities, as I have to manually shuffle the playlist, there's no live-recording feature and the theme cannot be changed.

Enjoy your day.

For clarification, 205 is what the current playlist is at, and I want to bring that down to under 1/3 of it's current total.

I've actually got a new song of my own in the works. Give me a bit of time to finish it and I'll send you a render.

Oh, and I'm going to be re-rendering Popcorn too. I changed a few instruments and I should have it done by today, tomorrow at the latest.

I have/like many movie and video game soundtracks (my mp3 player is loaded with Halo) if you'd want anything. I know soundtracks tend to take up space though.

This is excellent news, sir. Also, your blog shows visitors all the way back to Sarge in 2010 :o

Cool.

If you don't mind, I'll just stick to my iPod, and listen to the album entitled "What is this, I don't even...", whose contents never change unless I change them, and has songs like Nightfever, Secret Agent Man, and Tro Lo Lo, the last which I listen to almost every day.

And...is there any particular reason for hating on the radio? <_<

Nope. I just never listen to it, and I never have listened to it. I'm never at the computer or on the Internet long enough to listen to the radio. ;)

I don't listen to it much either (I should some time), but I don't make a big deal out of it. Maybe you weren't trying to but it came off like that to Extreme.

... It's got Numa Numa, White and Nerdy, and Happy Birthday (the Arrogant Worms one).

Pure awesomeness.

If they're not on Grooveshark, I can upload them. I need specific songs, though. I'd prefer to only have one song per artist/album up each fortnight.

Well, if we put in the QC...

Hey, I'm for that, man! If LZ allows me to put up his old volumes (there WAS more than one), I'll send it all off to you.

As for doing intros for songs, as long as I pre-record them, I'll probably be able to do this for you, as well as anything else a "radio personality" might talk about (news, reports, etc.). I do have experience in announcing and crap, so if you want, sign me up, comrade!

But I'm all for this RRU Radio V2. If you want me to help with anything, please let me know.

If you're not already full, I could help with DJ stuff. I've always thought of it cool to be on the radio.
