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).

Merry Xmas from the Hacienda VoyagerRadioAmoeba Records was the bees knees tonight. I found a ton of chillout singles in a "Under $2" bin--I've never noticed this section of the store before so perhaps its new and seasonal. Also bought some new (2003) chillout compilations for very reasonable prices and featuring a wide assortment of artists such as Underworld, Soulstice, Baby Mammoth, Les Gammas, Callisto, Amon Tobin, DJ Shadow, Death in Vegas, Sasha, Thievery Corporation, Kevin Yost, AIM, Rae & Christian, Funky Porcini, Beanfield, Only Child, Toni D., Royksopp, Delerium, Bullitnuts, Bel Canto, Lemongrass, Athome Project, Ming & FS, Slowpho, and others. Lots of new music for VoyagerRadio listeners! Don't be afraid to listen, now. There are others who listen to chillout Internet radio. It's perfectly legal to do so. And please, by all means--let me know what you think of the new music.
Oh, and if anyone can prove to me who produced New Order's debut album Power, Corruption & Lies, please do so. (You can use the comment feature below or email me.) I've been trying to find out since watching 24 Hour Party People, and all Google will turn up is an atomic particle and a reverend with very different opinions about who was responsible for the work. Something else interesting turned up in my research about New Order. Apparently they released a Xmas record back in 1982, "Merry Xmas from the Hacienda". (I suppose the "X" had a double meaning, perhaps?) Only 4400 of these records were distributed, and all during the Christmas Eve festivities at the famous Manchester club that year. I'm sure there are some lucky people out there still in possession of these fine specimens of the early Manchester rave scene, and if anyone wants to give a copy up, there are folks like me who are willing to take it off your hands.
