East Village Radio

This weekend I met some friends at a party for East Village Radio at the South Street Seaport. To be honest, my motivations were more for the seaport than the party, but I headed my way down there with the hopes of a VIP pass (read free beer) and a good view of the fading light over shipmasts. It turned out to be a wicked party hosted by KRS-One and featuring a bunch of other amazing talent. Maybe someday soon, I’ll write some posts about the talent. But here I want to give a big ups to East Village Radio. The party was awesome and they put together a pretty great service. They are a free, internet only independent radio station operating out of a storefront closet in Manhattan. One of the few signs of anti-conglomeration media floating in the ether.

    Mary, I just up and danced when I read this post. I got that excited.

    Sheila, were your toes tapping to the sound of freeform?

    Punkin, you got it. And me, I got a deep abiding love for freeform. It’s what I did back in my own radio days, though I never did call it that. But it is what inspired me, and I do love anyone who dares to do it. Especially if they get the part about the form that holds the freedom close.
