Tonight, after my shift at work, I had a couple of Dupont Saisons with Gus from Portland Radio Authority. He’s a good friend and ex-roommate and bandmate of one of my co-workers.
We had a great conversation about PRA. They broadcast live from last year’s PDXPOP Now! Music Festival and they do a bunch of great things with some of Portland’s best musicians (inculding Modernstate and Talk Demonic, two of the station’s founders). Right now they’re working on creating an internet radio version of the station and so I promptly volunteered my services to simultaneously implement podcast versions of each the shows. It would be pretty exciting to see 49 podcasts of Portland-centric music come online simultaneously.
I also pitched Gus on being an early beta tester for the new Music For Dozens. In addition to everything else, he’s a solo musician and I can’t wait to get his music and his input for the site. I’m psyched! Drunk, but psyched.
