May 18, 2009: No wires: check. Solar-powered: check. Rocking the Block: You be the judge :)
WFMU's First solar-powered wireless broadcast...live from the East River!
This is a technology test. Hopefully the test will sound awesome. Keep in touch via the playlist comments and let me know how it sounds. Thanks to Solar 1, Elliott Montgomery, Dustyn Roberts, and everyone else who helped make this REAL. And stay tuned for a solar-powered beach party on 6/29.

Trent - yes, bring the bed music way down. Is there any chance that some of the music you're meaning to have in cue is going out over the air? - Rob

Hey, it's sounding good, the separate audio source is gone. Um, isn't it getting dark? Did you charge up a battery with the solar panels?
Mon. 5/18/09 8:47pm

the DJ vocals sound a little bit overdriven, but otherwise the audio sounds great.
what are you using for wireless uplink? an HSDPA modem or something?
Mon. 5/18/09 9:14pm
From:
~L
Very impressive! Solar sounds fine to me. The Newsom remix especially.
Mon. 5/18/09 9:18pm
From:

short shameful confession: the beginning of this pet shop boys song just immediately makes my brain start singing coldplay's "when i ruled the world".
then it turns out to be the pet shop boys, and for some reason that's a huge relief.
Mon. 5/18/09 9:23pm
From:
trent
thanks L. i agree. dave - there are worse things to sing in your head. but don't tell anyone i said that.
