Re: Aural Moon Shows
I know I'm coming into the fray late here. But there are some points that I feel MUST be addressed.
I've known Tom Gagliardi for many years now. I've been running his show since shortly after Aural Moon first introduced it lo these many years ago. He's a close, personal friend. Having said that, I'd like to toss in a disclaimer that I'm not taking any of this personally. Just bringing to light some things that may not be evident to Joe Random Listener. Quote:

We really have no choice in this matter. We pull Tom's show straight off their streaming server and put it right on the air. I could sit and try to block out the PSAs (that Tom is legally required to run), but the alternate would be dead air. Now I'm not sure about anyone else, but I'd find dead air more tedious than PSAs about the latest New Jersey law or historical information about the Pine Barrens. Besides, there's a technical limitation to consider. There's usually a seven to ten second delay from the moment Tom says something until it gets to us. It makes timing VERY interesting. That's the main reason there's always a glitch of WBZC foo at the end of his show. I have nothing to judge by save the meters that are bouncing on the station. I can get fairly close, but hitting the cut-off button right as his outro finishes is almost impossible. Now imagine trying to hit that same button in the middle of a show for sixty seconds of dead air. Not my idea of an enjoyable Saturday evening, I assure you. Quote:

He provides us a service by bringing a much wider variety of unknown and underplayed artists, free of charge. He does it for no other reason than the love of the music, much the same as Vax, Jim, myself, and Avian. To ask for our own special show would NOT fly. If we were downloading a MP3 from WBZC, and had a couple of hours to go hack at it with an editor, it might (for extremely small values of 'might') be possible to go through and edit out the PSAs. But as Vax and I both have those unfortunate things known as 'real lives' and 'day jobs', we don't have the time to download 500 MB of show, slice out bits and pieces, re-upload, and get it set up in time for the replay. Possible ain't practical. Hope this clears things up a bit. I'm no fan of the PSAs either (believe me, I've heard them all and more). But I'd hate even more to have to edit them out, only to replace them with dead air, and I'd hate even worse to lose The Gagliarchives. Roger -Dot- Lee, makin' up for lost time.
