介绍：
I've built 18 radios for my 19 groups, and I expect those numbers to increase. This is a listening room for all those radios, and will help the listener get a feel for the various groups. Enjoy!

~~~~~~ Ring Hub for The Radio Room Ring ~~~~~~


Futuristic RMF FM Headquarters in Krakow, Poland. Likewise, this group functions as the hub to all my groups.



Chez Musinum - from my Friends list, artists, listeners, & group leaders
Tim Doyle - my fanclub; artists similar to Tim Doyle, timpixi and The Chez Musinum Cabinet
ENTP - Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving - a mix of ENTP artists and weekly group chart toppers
SlowSound, SlowerSound, SlowestSound, sharing one radio... New Weird America, alt-country, freak folk, post-rock, World, blues, arctic ambient, soundtrack+
Frame Without A Painting (Ambient Music Group) & Frame Without Another Painting: Japanese ambient, glitch, minimal, tape music, electro-acoustic, drone, field recordings, cutting-edge sounds

The Radio Room




There are two types of radios here.

The first is the traditional Tag Radio, where artists, albums, and/or tracks are given a unique tag (either personal, in which one user has complete control over the content, or global, in which anyone can apply the tag -- all of my tag radios are global), and the Tag Radio can then be played. (Formerly labels could also be tagged.)

There has always been a slight lag involved, but a big problem arose when non-subscribers could no longer play new tag radios.

The problem was eventually fixed, but meanwhile a solution was found: Library Bots. I was an early adopter, not an originator, of the Library Bot solution, but I do take credit for the name, which seems to have caught on, tho several other terms are also used.

The Library Bot is a dummy user created for the sole purpose of building a radio by putting the items (artists, albums, and/or tracks) into the dummy user's library, which anyone can then play.

The person creating the Bot has complete control over the radio content, there is no lag involved, and the last.fm Recommendations system is a very useful tool for extending the library by artist similarities and for filling in the gaps where appropriate items may have been overlooked, particularly now that recommendations are now filterable by tags (which are dynamic according to the current content of the library).

So even when the original problem was fixed, I found no reason to go back to creating more tag radios, and have continued to create Libary Bots.



The Tag Radios


Chez Musinum Artist Radio (tag )
play on page~~~~~~play in software



This station plays all artists connected to Chez Musinum and to Chef Musinum and Chez Platinum. Chez M. is my flagship group, open to anyone on my Friends list, and any members who have an artist presence are connected to either that group or to Chef Musinum or Chez Platinum, depending on the number of listeners and plays achieved.

Chef Musinum is the musical "kitchen" where artists are simmered and seasoned until they reach 200 listeners and 1000 plays, at which point they move over to the Big House at Chez Musinum; once an artist has both 2000 listeners and 10,000 plays, they will move on to Chez Platinum. This division is a solution to the problem posed by the 200-artist limit for group connections.

Labels attached to members are also connected to Chez Musinum. In the case of certain small labels that are the member's own creation, the artists on that label may be tagged for the radio as well.

SlowSound (or SlowerSound or SlowestSound) Artist Radio (a.k.a. Music From Big Pink) (tag )
play on page~~~~~~play in software

This station plays all 600 artists connected to three sister groups: SlowSound, SlowerSound, and SlowestSound, which wrap a core of New Weird America, indie, singer-songwriter, alt-country, freak folk, post-rock, and a touch of shoegaze and slowcore with a mix of World music from Tibetan chants to reggae to Cuban son to MPB (Brazilian) to klezmer, blues, arctic ambient, soundtracks, artists like Sade, Alice Coltrane, Dylan, Neil Young, Melanie, Phoebe Snow, Janis Ian, Sam Cooke, Billie Holiday, and more.


The Big Pink Pillow Radio


Frame Without a Painting (or Frame Without Another Painting) Artist Radio (tag )

play on page~~~~~~play in software



This radio plays all the artists connected to two related groups, Frame Without a Painting (Ambient Music Group) and its companion Frame Without Another Painting: Japanese ambient, glitch, minimal, tape music, electro-acoustic, drone, field recordings, cutting-edge sounds from everywhere

The Library Bot Radios


Tim Doyle Artist Radio (user tim_doyle's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software



This station plays all artists connected to Tim Doyle, the fanclub for my artist presence Tim Doyle. This was previously a Tag Radio and was previously driven by weekly group charts, but I have changed the format so that the connections are now based on similarity to one of my three artist presences here, including timpixi (with vocals by Pixieguts and The Chez Musinum Cabinet, which is remixes by other artists. The radio has 500 artists and is based on similarity to the entire pool of connections.

ENTP Artist Radio (user e_n_t_p's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software



This station plays all artists connected to ENTP, a group for those who test as Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving in the Meyers-Briggs Personality Inventory (and anyone else who wants to join). About 130 of the connections are artists who have been "typed" as ENTP on various sites or in various forums devoted to the MBPI or specifically to ENTP. Of course it's a somewhat subjective and inexact matter, and very few fall squarely into one type or another, but I was inclusive rather than exclusive. The list contains quite a few comics as well, and a few scientists, philosphers, poets, and statesmen as well, where there are representative tracks on last.fm. Bands associated with ENTP artists are also included. The other 65 or so connections are based on weekly group charts going back to the beginning. Those included were on top of a weekly chart in no more than a five-way tie (with at least three listens) in at least one week. Others will be added as the weekly charts evolve...

SlowSound (or SlowerSound or SlowestSound) Artist Radio (a.k.a. Music From Big Pink) (user SlodioSlowRadio's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software

This radio plays all the artists connected to the three sister groups above, and adds another 200 or so for around 800 artists total. This was the "overlap" period, the first of only two stations in both tag and Library Bot form.


The Big Pink Pillow Radio


Frame Without a Painting (or Frame Without Another Painting) Artist Radio (user fwap's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software



This radio plays all the artists connected to two related groups, Frame Without a Painting (Ambient Music Group) and its companion Frame Without Another Painting, plus another 72 related artists: Japanese ambient, glitch, minimal, tape music, electro-acoustic, drone, field recordings, cutting-edge sounds from everywhere. This was the "overlap" period, the second of only two stations in both tag and Library Bot form.

New Edge Artist Radio (user new_edge's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software



This radio plays, along with similar artists, all the artists connected to the group New Edge: New Age that's NOT elevator music. ~~~~~~ Brian Eno: "The problem with New Age music is that there's no evil in it". This group is for those who like New Age without the bland pseudoclassical sound I call "New Age Lite". Keep the evil!

Deep Listening Artist Radio (user deep_listening's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software



This radio plays, along with similar artists, all the artists connected to the group Deep Listening: Somewhere at the juncture of New Age, World Music, Devotional, and sheer musical mastery lies a font of profound wonderment and evergreen spirit... Experience Deep Listening. (Again, not elevator music, but "relaxing" and "soothing" aren't dirty words here, as they may be at New Edge.)

Light and Shadow Artist Radio (user ThruGlassDarkly's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software



"Donut touch that dial!"




This radio plays, along with similar artists, all the artists connected to the group Light and Shadow: The intersecting worlds of Angelo Badalamenti, his similar artists, & theirs, & theirs... a river delta of soundtracks, neo-medieval / darkwave, ethereal, jazz, ambient, trip hop: worldly & otherworldy, awestruck to jaded.



Chef Musinum's Edible Artist Radio (user chef_musinum's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software




This radio plays all the artists connected to the group Chef Musinum, the "kitchen" annex of Chez Musinum, for artists with fewer than 1000 plays and/or 200 listeners (see first tag radio). Since those artists are also tagged to play on the Chez Musinum Artist Radio, they stay in rotation there while at the same time having their own "small-fry" venue where they are not overshadowed by the artists with more of an established audience.



Professor Longhair Artist Radio (user ProfessLonghair's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software



This radio plays, along with similar artists, all the artists connected to the group Professor Longhair: I was astounded to find Professor Longhair did not have his own fanclub, so here it is! Rooted in, but not confined to, the sounds of New Orleans, our still-beating musical heart.. Funk, soul, jazz, blues, roots rock, brass bands, Memphis sounds, Motown, and more.

Chappaqua Artist Radio (user aHowl's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software



This radio plays, along with similar artists, all the artists connected to the group Chappaqua: A group built around Allen Ginsberg, Moondog, Ornette Coleman, radiating everywhere. Needed name: turns out all 3 were part of a 1966 film, "Chappaqua" (as "Messiah," "The Prophet," & "Peyote Eater"). The connections may be unexpected... ended up with less spoken word and jazz than I expected, and a lot more avant-garde / early modernist and late classical / post-romantic, noise & drone, and quite a bit of New Weird America. What the artists seem to have in common is that they are not afraid to go out on a limb, to take the risk of abject failure, to be misunderstood or even reviled. Each artist here creates distinctive sounds and occupies previously uninhabited artistic territory.



Clifford Brown Artist Radio (user IRmembrClifford's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software



This radio plays, along with similar artists, all the artists connected to the group Clifford Brown: A celebration the pure joy that was Brownie's horn. In a tragically short career, he left his mark forever on jazz trumpet & on the improvisor's art. Innocence & sophistication in every breath!

These 200 artists are an oasis of life-saving jazz.




Chez Platinum's Artist Radio (user Chez_Platinum's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software



This radio plays all the artists connected to the group Chez Platinum, the "deluxe" annex of Chez Musinum, for artists with at least 10,000 plays and at least 2000 listeners (see first tag radio). Since those artists are also tagged to play on the Chez Musinum Artist Radio, they stay in rotation there while at the same time having their own "established artist" venue.



Group For All People in This Group Artist Radio (user group-4's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software



This radio plays, along with similar artists, all the artists connected to the group Group For All People in This Group: I was asked to take over this group by the exiting leader, so I obliged, and am now giving it the Radio Room Ring treatment (artist radio, link to the group hub here, etc.) For the connections I went back to Week One and added any artists who topped a weekly chart with at least 3 listeners in no more than a five-way tie. There are only 60 artist connections at this writing, but they will evolve as the group grows and changes. This group is the most amorphous I've led, so we'll see where it goes!


Just Great Guitar!'s Artist Radio (user theoldgringo's library)

play on page~~~~~~play in software



This radio plays all the artists connected to the group Just Great Guitar!, The source for the 200 connections is the list of greatest guitarists (all genres) edited by George at Digital Dream Door: http://www.digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/best_guitar-all.htmlTo quote him: "These are the greatest guitarists of all genres of music and styles of guitar. They were picked for their importance in the guitar world including innovation, respect from other guitarists, influence on both other players as well as on styles of playing, impact, legendary status, and overall importance on shaping the guitar world. Plus for the playing abilities including technique, creativity, versatility, musical depth & expression both in composing & performing, live energy and improv skills, and originality."

    New recordings added. See album "Live-Rehearsal Summer 1996" and "Piano Works 2009". Thank you for listening and feedback...

    2012年 1月

  • musinum

    OK, connections are made! This is the lineup till New Year's Day 2012!

    2011年 10月

  • musinum

    OK, the 200 artists are now in TheRadioRoom's library, so the radio is up and running... now I just need to connect them all to the group. You'll see mostly new artists and some remaining from before or returning from an earlier period. The Fates decide these things, and the quantum gods of Chance...

    2011年 10月

  • musinum

    TIme for the new lineup! With two new groups in the Radio Room family, the mix has changed a bit. Here's the new breakdown: 27 from Chez Musinum radio, 21 from Deep Listening, 02 from the two "FWAP" groups, split between the Tag & Bot radios, 18 from the three "slodio" groups, split beween Tag & Bot also, 15 each from Light and Shadow & New Edge, 11 from Chappaqua, 10 apiece from Chef Musinum, Clifford Brown, and Chez Platinum, 9 each from Tim Doyle, ENTP, and Professor Longhair, and 8 each from the two newcomers, Group for All People in This Group and Just Great Guitar!

  • Neue_regel_

    Nice pics but why should I play someone else radio?? I make my own choices

    2011年 8月

  • musinum

    As you can see, we now have a 19th group in the Radio Room family, Just Great Guitar!. The radio is right above the Radio Room Radio of Radios... Check it out! Join even!

    2011年 8月

  • da4cu4

    I suppose this is just the place I've been dreaming of! Lots and lots more of unique new music on every play! Thanks!

    2011年 7月

  • musinum

    As you can see, I've added an 18th group to the ring. I was asked to take Group For All People in This Group over by the departing leader, and it's by design a very amorphous group, so I let the members' listening habits decide the connections. As you join the group, you will be influencing the direction the connections take. I invite everyone to join our newest group! It'll be whatever you make it!

    2011年 7月

  • musinum

    The changes at ENTP are complete. It's now a Bot radio, and there are many comics and other spoken-word artists along with the music. More detail above!

    2011年 7月

  • musinum

    Look for big changes at ENTP next... already in progress.

    2011年 7月

  • musinum

    I've changed the lineup at my own fanclub Tim Doyle completely... rather than being driven by the weekly group charts, it's now representative of artists similar to either Tim Doyle, timpixi, or The Chez Musinum Cabinet (in approximately a 4-2-1 ratio). The 200 connections are surrounded by a shell of 300 more artists in the radio, based on similarity the the body of connections as a whole. The result is a bit like a blend of Deep Listening and Chez Musinum radios... New Age / ambient / world / drone / indie rock / soundscape / what have you. Also the radio has changed from Tag to Library Bot format... see above. Listen to the new radio here or come visit us! Maybe even join...

    2011年 7月

  • BigBadAnubis

    Very Nice Room!!!!

    2011年 7月

  • musinum

    Chappaqua radio is updated, and in other news... The last of six great renovation projects is complete... the lineup at Clifford Brown (my slice of Jazz Heaven) has been revampled and about one third of the artists replaced. The former connections remain on the Artist radio and for good measure, I've added enough additional artists to bring the full roster up to an even 500 artists. Our slice of Jazz Heaven just got bigger and even more heavenly! Come on down and listen, or just listen to the radio above!

    2011年 6月

  • musinum

    Chappaquaconnections are redone... the radio is still to be expanded. It's turned into a real three-ring circus over there, with strange loops of Hawaiian slack-key and rockabilly mixing with avante-garde and free jazz and spoken word and every sort of Otherness! Come look and (soon) listen to the mix!

    2011年 6月

  • musinum

    OK, Professor Longhair connections and radio are redone... The radio has been beefed up from 198 to 426 artists in the process. You can see the new connections there, and listen to the radio either there or right here in the emporium! (Next up for renovation: Chappaqua.)

    2011年 6月

  • musinum

    LIght and Shadow has been redone and the radio greatly expanded... Come listen! I am now working on Professor Longhair. Much more specifically New Orleans sound, more blues roots, and the radio will reflect both the old and the new connections. It's nearly done!

    2011年 6月

  • musinum

    The connections at Deep Listening have also been revamped, and the radio contains over 600 artists... next up for refurbishing will be Light and Shadow... Watch this space!!!

    2011年 6月

  • musinum

    The Gods of Chance determine the new lineup each time! There are several thousand artists who could potentially be connected in any round, and I've had occasion to unlink my own music when it didn't pop up... Everything is a turn of the wheel!
