The more geeky/techie among you might know already what “time shifting” means. For people like me, it goes back to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Betamax case in the 1980s, the very one whose precedent may prove important in the current one involving Grokster. In the BM case, it meant recording broadcast material for viewing after air time. In this case, I mean it much more literally ....
ECI is moving to a new time slot, one perhaps more favorable to potential listeners (whoever they might be, if in fact they exist). For the foreseeable future, the show will be shifted back in time, as it were, two hours. Thus, rather than airing from 2-4 a.m. on Tuesdays, the show will be broadcast from midnight to 2 a.m. on Tuesday mornings (or, and I cringe in saying this, Monday nights), beginning 12 April.
So, mark your calendars, and get your recording gear in order. And do so especially if you’re interested in hearing what’s been tickling my ears of late (hint: many items are directly related to my second, as-yet-untitled book project). Expect, therefore, to hear songs by Colin Newman, Suicide, Cabaret Voltaire, and various New York No-Wave bands (James White and the Blacks, DNA) when you tune in next. Fear not, though. It won’t be a completely nostalgic show. Tracks from Akron/Family, Pinback, Systems Officer, Lloyd Cole and others might find their way into the mix.
Are you salivating yet?
