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).

Yesterday in Long Beach I picked up a few chillout CDs for .99 cents each. Can't beat that, now, can you? One was an Astralwerks compilation and other a collection called Pure Chill Out. Listen for tracks from these collections to start appearing in VoyagerRadio.
Unfortunately, there's a price to be paid for getting CDs for only .99 cents. Although some of the music on these collections are current, most of the tracks were released sometime last year. I try to keep my webcast as current as possible, but I don't have the funds to buy every new CD that hits the market, and I don't have time to download everything either (although I do when I can). Fortunately my girlfriend buys CDs--like the new Dave Gahan release, for example--so I'm able to inject Voyager with some of the latest downtempo electronica. Even so, I'm worrying that the Dave Gahan tracks I'm currently playing on Voyager may not be right for the webcast. There are no instrumental songs--after all, Gahan is the frontman for Depeche Mode--and the songs may jar my more dedicated listeners, who may have come to expect a certain sound. Perhaps I'll be able to get ahold of the Junkie XL remixes I've heard mention of, and if any are downtempo, maybe they'll be more appropriate for Voyager. In any case, please let me know if you don't like any of the music I'm playing on Voyager. After all, it's your station as well as mine. Speaking of additions to Voyager, I've been loving the last New Order release, Crystal (which, on a side note, is apparently available through the Apple Store. Everyone keeps telling me about these Crystal remixes, which are supposed to be ambient/chillout-ish, so hopefully I'll be able to spot them cheap on my next visit to the .99 cent bin.
