BURNLAB.RADIO update
We are getting close to developing an appropriate format for streaming audio. if anyone has been following recent news about copyright law, you are aware this is not a good time to start up a web radio station... or any radio station for that matter. Nonetheless, Burnlab is committed to promoting artists we admire - working in all media - and providing our users a resource to learn about and experience the best and most innovative work being created today. BURNLAB.RADIO will help establish this site as a finger on the pulse of the underground, and [thanks to our diverse and talented editorial staff] provide educated insights on the material we cover. The hope is that by exposing people to certain music, they will be inclined to purchase something they would not have known about otherwise. In that respect, we find it foolish that any record label would take issue with this broadcast. We do plan to honor the request of any copyright holders to remove specific material.

We have ruled out Live365 and other third party broadcast services. Streaming media will come directly from our server. It will most likely not be a SHOUTcast station. The reason for this is that radio content will be a feature of the "Burnlab package" as explained above, and is not intended as a stand-alone radio station. The station(s) will be programmed by a team of editors around the world, and feature new music, rare selections and historically significant favorites. I am still very interested to hear what specific features people would like see. Mail here.

On the subject, I'm using the alpha version of WINAMP Mac right now, and loving the sound quality and functionality. Highly recommended media player. Also, do check out Epitonic Radio. It allows you to create dynamic playlists from different genres and features a selection of new music I'm frankly envious of. Epitonic also offers quality editorial content and MP3 downloads.



Finally, a reminder to all that this Wednesday is Devil's Night. Our associates at Ghostly International and DJ Hell himself descend on Brooklyn to the delight of electropunks and art school freaks.
