Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

It's verified--it was Jane's Addiction I was hearing on the radio earlier. Jane's was one of those bands that just grabbed me, turned me on my head and spit me out when I was a still a teenager--and I loved. Not that I'm a glutton for punishment or anything, I just fell in love with their whole thing--the music, the personalities, the whole package. I was devastated when they broke up after the first two Lollapaloozas.
The past few years, however, I've felt a real disconnect from Jane's. Not that I don't still love their music; I don't think you can ever unlove what's eternally good. I just got bored with the reunites, the replays, the haven't-we-already-done-this-before cycle of shows and predictable playlists. I thought I would never tired of Jane's; I loved Porno For Pyros and followed some of the boys' other projects. But somehow--and shockingly, for myself--I got bored at that last Coachella show. Still, Perry's always an entertainer, and he knows how to put on a great show--and honestly, I wasn't feeling too good at their last Coachella show--I really wasn't. The fact is, I'm really excited to hear something new from the band. As interesting as the rehashes and tributes can get (a "String Quartet Tribute to Jane's Addiction"? How did I miss that?), I think the whole world's been dying for a whole new album for a long, long time. I may be there at Lollapalooza if I can afford it, and if the band shows up.
