RFA Headquarters / Miami Beach / 20060501
Howdy from a beautiful spring day in Miami Beach. RFA 8.05 and a new
video went live over the weekend. The playlist is below. I'm sure
you've been wondering why we've been so quiet recently. Well, it pretty
much boils down to my occasionally getting very burned out by RFA.
Throw in a slew of techincal issues on the office network (- not the
streaming network -), friggin' everybody (from the federal government
to Microsoft) wanting money from me in April and blah, blah, blah. But
I'm feeling rejuvenated, the network is kinda working and April is
over. So here we go.
RFA 8.05: Our latest on-demand web cast is heavy on the
electro/industrial side as it's dominated by Metropolis artists (Das
Ich, Mindless Self Indulgence, Clan of Xymox) and also features bands
from the Van Richter label. Throw in some new material from Phantom
Vision, Sapphire Rebellion, Tolchock & others and it's a very good
show. (Of course!) Listen now @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
. The playlist is
below.
ITA 8.04: Our latest on-demand video comes from the German gothic/metal
crossover act SpiRitual. You're either going to love this track or hate
it. That genre doesn't appeal to everyone I know, but this is one song
where it works IMO. And regardless, it's a beautiful video. Watch it
now @[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Coming up later this week, we'll have new free MP3 downloads, contests
and audio & video download in the RFA shop. I'm still catching up. ;-)
While you're listening to the latest show, why not browse the RFA blog.
That's one thing I have been contributing to here @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RFA HQ over the
past month. Recent hightlights from
http://www.radiofreeabattoir.com/blog/
include:
* A review of the new Electro-a-Go-Go: Underland Privat, who have been
putting on dark alt / gothy events in SoFla as long as anyone, have
returned to South Beach.
* Metropolis Records: The US's biggest dark alternative label now has a
digital download service for promotional services. If you're in the
industry, you should check this out.
* A road re****t from Miss T & the Japanese Tourists: Miss T sent an
e-mail outlining the bands' journey to Germany. It had me in stitches.
* Must-have software - SDP Downloader: This rather complicated but
rather small piece of software allows you to record streaming audio &
video. Don't get so excited. It doesn't exactly work with RFA.
* A review of Fatal Beauty: No, I haven't gotten back into the CD
review thing. FB is an *****c, alternative community a la Suicide
Girls.
* The (pending) return of Deathwatch Beetle Repairman: One of RFA's
favorites (and a favorite of our listeners & download customers as
well) is hard at work on the first DBR release since 1999.
* News from the digital world: The DMCA sucks. You might no longer need
a DVR box to record TV. France sticks it to Apple, again.
