The Final Room (As we now know it..) PT 1

SO... It's come to this... I knew giving them the foghorn all these months wasn't stupid.

I feel bad, but in a way, I feel validated. In the spirit of professionalism, I'm not going to gloat any more than I already have. But the reality is that PLRadio has been run poorly from the start. I offered my services to them (Dromey/ Plurlife/ Gafana Enterprises) a long time ago, services that included program direction, advertising, free content delivery and scheduling, brand and Station ID's and even a consistent/ complete Morning show M-F at a low price of $200 a month. My offer was never denied, nor acknowledged. I made this offer 3 weeks into the inception of my show, after being asked to move my timeslot, in favor of someone who "Had that slot promised to them first." (See: Wine induced rant, 2-4-2010 [red]) Obviously, my counter offer wasn't even referred to again, and I went on my way, doing the show every week and busting thru the EDM spectrum.

Even with some of the issues on the administrative end of this show, (the connection issues, the inquiry of me to swap slots, the current lack of communication.) I enjoyed bringing, what I and many of my listeners would concur was probably the most consistent and identifiable show on PL radio. I tried to convey the idea that if you heard the first 3 mins of every show, you knew that you were in for another 57 mins of solid EDM underground music. I also tried to make you, me, and even dromey and PL laugh, dance and have fun. I don't regret that, and in fact, I'm quite proud of it.

So in a way, the [colour] room isn't dying. It's just moving. I'm going to resurrect the show, whether it's on a HOMEMADE station (which is very much a possibility), or someone else's station OR any combo of the two. But for now, and until part II of this post announcing my new mix with crazy new technology, the [colour] room is going REALLY dark. {Header image change forthcoming as well;-( }

Thanks to Everyone who made me doing this show possible... including this guy....
