Greetings! 
I hope people don't mind, but I wanted to start a thread where I could post weekly updates about my Asian pop radio show for the coming Sunday. I wanted to have a thread without replies to have an unbroken string of information regarding the show, just for information's sake. If this is a problem, please let me know!
Anyway, I wanted to post general info at the top of the thread which will apply to all further posts. Firstly, Radio 1/2 is a show devoted to exposing the public to the diverse sounds of the modern music scenes of many Asian countries, with an emphasis on Japan. At present, I span a timeframe from the early 1960's up until the present day.
The show airs on WSPN 91.1 FM, located in Saratoga Springs, NY, USA every Sunday morning from 6 - 9 AM. WSPN also simulcasts over the Internet through its website:
WSPN | 91.1 Skidmore College Radio
This gives the ability for anyone with an Internet connection to check out the show as well, and there are instructions for setting up the streaming audio at the WSPN website. I'm not going to list the exact times the show would be on all across the world, but generally speaking the show is on Sunday afternoons across Europe and on Sunday evenings in Japan.
I do take requests during the show, and am more than happy to play them provided I have the song in my collection. I announce the phone number for the station during the show, and if the station gets its in-studio Instant Messaging capability back I will relay that information as well.
Although much of the show is free format, I do have two recurring segments for each show:
* TIME CAPSULE --- This is a look back to songs which were topping the Oricon charts in Japan for that week since the charts began in 1968. Of course I can only play what's in my collection, so the picture is far from complete... but it does give an interesting perspective on the development of the modern J-Pop sound.
* BLOCK PARTY --- This is a concentrated block of music on a particular theme. Usually it will consist of music from a particular artist or music from a particular soundtrack (anime, videogame, drama)... but occasionally I'll come up with a more abstract Block Party concept.
I will also come up with other segments from time to time, which I will alert you about here.
Anyway, that's all the general info. I hope you get a chance to check out the show, and if you do please send me a personal message or start a new thread telling me what you think.
:sing:
Thanks for listening!
