Eclair Fifi had a bit of a mare today - she opened her show with a yasuaki shimizu track of his album IQ-179, and I think she just intended to play some interesting textural stuff to ease into the set with, but unfortunately she played the one with Hitler speeches and people sieg heiling all over the place and I'm not sure anyone was quite ready for that, I think she almost died of embarrasment. My heart went out to her but also it was quite funny. Anyway, I'm not entirely sure what shimizu's intentions were with that piece, but djs beware!

Should say the rest of the show was excellent though as always, she's the best

amazing.
have been enjoying the new morning lineup, flo and zakia are extremely good but john gomez, lupini and ruf dug have been killing it in the slot right after.
scratcha is unbearable though. boring selections, unending unfunny patter.

That's too bad, I'm a fan of his music and twitter account.
(omg @ Hitler ambient)

thanks map! It's a pre-record because I can't get to their studio and I'm regretting some of my choices already (mostly there's way too much record nerd chat iirc), but lol I've never recorded a mix before, let alone a radio show so I'm amazed I even got this far
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Thursday, 21 April 2022 14:43 (two years ago) link
I mean it did turn out okay, it's not a total disaster anyway!

Slightly tangential, but it looks like Mixcloud updated their Premium plans last night, and offline listening is now available for all shows on the Premium plan. (Previously it was only available on a per-creator basis via their Select thing). This means offline listening for the NTS archives, plus all the other radio stations that use Mixcloud for their archives (Dublab, Noods...). Given that I currently have to commute on the tube, this is good news.

my friend put together this fantastic show that aired over the weekend exploring 'spoken word' in various forms

ugh
Not sure how this hasn't been mentioned in the music press already, especially since the deal went down months ago, but I wrote about @NTSlive and its surprising new investor in today's @_FirstFloor. pic.twitter.com/sn7x5LCHJa— Shawn Reynaldo (@ShawnReynaldo) October 24, 2023

O no

this was publically revealed months ago. odd he only mentions it now.
― stirmonster, Tuesday, 24 October 2023 16:42 (seven months ago) link
feels alarmist
― xheugy eddy (D-40), Tuesday, 24 October 2023 17:27 (seven months ago) link
i do think it seems like an odd match but also feel those who run NTS know what they are doing and aren't into it purely for the £s.
i thought it was interesting that Peter Gabriel was revealed to have been an early big investor too.

I would love to live in a world where grassroots culture organisations are able to thrive independently, and I'm a proud paying supporter of NTS. That said, this feels nothing new in that NTS have been running spon-con for distinctly un-grassroots companies like Nike, Uniqlo, Rockstar for years.
It does also feel different to the Bandcamp situation in that the NTS template is, and has proven, to be infinitely replicable. It does feel like we're living in a golden age of eclectic community radio. If NTS falls I'll be very sad but the question of "well what do we use now?" is quickly and comprehensively answerable, unlike with Bandcamp.
(Tangential thought - maybe the company we should all be on tenterhooks about is Mixcloud, given how central their archives are to so many small radio operations, including NTS. If THEY go...)
― bamboohouses, Wednesday, 25 October 2023 08:42 (seven months ago) link
Can't say I'm thrilled about this, but the bigger picture is NTS losing their Arts Council funding earlier this year. Whether the Universal investment preceded that or not, it's another example of the increasingly grim situation for publicly funded culture in the UK.

that's a very salient point, I had no idea
― Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 25 October 2023 10:05 (seven months ago) link
Bit of context here: NTS was an National Portfolio Organisation, in that it got funding for 3 years. They may still be getting smaller project grants etc, but it's harder for them to plan ahead.

just to add that i don't think it's a good thing they are in bed with UMG but i'm way less concerned about this than the Bandcamp situation.

You can rewind on Mixcloud now?!!
