An International Flavour

Hi all,
bit of an International flavour going on with our Programming over the next fortnight.
Scots, Swedish Pixies, English Punky girls, New Danes, Northern Irish Progheads, Americans, ah, you name it, they will be appearing in various places.
.
Firstly, I must mention how great it was to see the Punklicious Zoe once again, who was here at AZ Towers a couple of days ago, and recorded a brand new show.
From the Schedules I posted just last week, you'll see where and when she's around, but, as ever, we'll put it on our Pod first so you can hear her return to AZ action, exclusively.
You know the place : http://www.4shared.com/dir/391612/be81ca22/sharing.html
.
Zoe's show will be there, as from later today, Saturday. Tune in !
.
In the last week or so, more new shows have arrived, all demanding your attention.
Following his summer sabbatical, the Danish cool one, The Gilster, has his brand new Programme up too, exclusively on our Pod, first. Same goes for our Northern Irish Mr Progman, Barry De Foyle. Those shows are there right now, along with the return of Richard Bismarck, an excellent show as ever, this time decorated with occasional tales of his trip to France, in recent times.
Incidentally, Mr Bismarck also appears tonight, 21.00 hours, Saturday, via www.rti.fm, and Sky Satellite 0195, and his playlist is published for you below.
From tomorrow, it's the Scotsmans turn, as the Johnny Reece Show appears on the Pod, directly appearing after being broadcast at 20.00 via www.rti.fm, and Sky 0195. That's tomorrow evening, folks.
.
Lots of newies promised by the Scotsman on this occasion, with some new finds he describes as 'brilliant' (well he would, wouldn't he ?), such as Erin Lang, Sufjan Stevens, and more. Also included, a rare original from Gloria Jones, an ultra rare REM 'live' track, and the odd bit of Synth, Pop, and Goth thrown in for good measure.
Oh yes, and he had another bizarre dream. You'll hear it all !
.
Following on from all the above mayhem, the following week sees the return of Pixie ! to the fore. Her new Programme is first broadcast on the radio waves of Radio Seagull, on the 9th of October, but we'll put it exclusively on our Pod first for you. Be patient !
Also, our man in NJ, Rich Phoenix, returns at the same time. Expect both Pixie and Rich to be appearing on our Pod next weekend, and oh, I'll be reminding you...
.
Ah, carpentry. Remember that ? Well, just a little has been done, certainly not the full monty which we expected, but that was due to work coming first here at AZ Towers, more than anything else. Now, some of it is delayed just a little further, as news of a super-duper all powerful new PC to add to our studio armour will be arriving this very afternoon, courtesy of Andy Miles, who travels up from the leafy glades. So, it's all go !
.

Uploading, and Schedules. Oh, and Carpentry.

'Bon Weekend', as they say, somewhere else.
It's been quite a week at AZ Towers. From one extreme to the other, with no new shows left in the can and panic ensuing, to emergency emails going out asking for Shows, and then swathes of newies coming in.
Suddenly, gladly, we're drowning in new Programmes. It's just what we needed, as none of the planned changes could be done at AZ Towers without having a back-up of Shows, as the main Studio would be down for a week or so, whilst the work was done.
All of that can be started now.
So, a few days of uploading, ftp'ing, transferring, you name it, sometimes 24/7, has been happening.
Now, below, you can see the fruition of that, with Schedules upfront for our outlets, and some new Programmes on our Pod, too, with more to come.
We've had all that, together with (occasional) upside down fish (long story, but he'll be fine), a continuation of niggling shoulder injuries, and perhaps the strangest, a great deal of carpentry to come, sawing and measuring, for a remade studio plinth, by people (who shall remain nameless) with no carpentry skills whatsoever.
Where's that Legine bloke when you need him ? He could build a house from a twig, we'll have you know.
So, it should be rather comical here. Let's hope, not too comical. We know what we want by the end of it, it's just the 'getting there' that might be a problem. However, we've a week to do it. Wish us luck !
.
There are a whole load of emails going out over the next few days, full of all the questions we have been asked by listeners, directed at our AZ stalwarts. When the replies come in, they will be answered here, although a great deal of them will be answered within the Programmes themselves. You have been warned !
Oh, and keep those questions coming.
.
I'm very happy to tell you, that 2 Presenters will be returning to The Album Zone.
Zoe Street, and Nick Saloman, will both be presenting new Programmes for us, in the forthcoming weeks.
Nice to have you back !
.
As for our Pod, we have 2 brand new Shows for you, already uploaded and straining at the leash to jump into your earlobes. Richard Bismarck and Barry De Foyle, are the culprits. Check them out !
By tomorrow evening, Sunday, these will be joined on our Pod by newies from Gil Legine, and Johnny Reece.
.
To this weekends Programming, and tonight, we are 'righting a wrong', which occured 3 weeks ago, on September 1st, when RTI had more than a few technical problems, in airing the whole of the Barry De Foyle Show. So, this is repeated tonight - hopefully this time, all of it !
It's via www.rti.fm, and also on Satellite, on Sky channel 0195, at 9pm UK time.
.
Tomorrow, Sunday, at 8pm, same frequencies as above, Johnny Reece is back in the chair, in his usual weekly slot. It was a last minute rush to get this one done, in between all the uploading going on, that Johnny ended up having to record it close to the middle of the night. We are assured though, no yawning or extended 25 minute tracks for coffee breaks, are included. Or, so he claims !
.

Reecey on Bolan, and the Gilster returns

Greetings, Zoneheads !
Up and running with the Shows this weekend, and here are the details.
As many musos will know, Sunday is the 30th Anniversary of the death of Marc Bolan. As members of the Zone fraternity will know, our Mr Reece was a bit of a fan. The Scotsmans show this weekend takes this into account, with each alternate track of the programme featuring the man himself. But, with a difference (naturally !).
As Mr Reece always said, it's unfortunate that Bolan was known mainly just for those reams of hit singles, when in fact, most of his music was far, far removed from that style. This is proved, on Sundays Johnny Reece Show.
Do tune in, if you can. The Bolan material in particular, will surprise you.
You'll find it at 20.00 hours (UK time) whistling around the world, via www.rti.fm.
At the same time too, on Sky 0195.
For Seagull listeners (www.radioseagull.com) it's on Monday evening at 18.00, and Friday at 02.00.
That's all UK time by the way, and from Sunday evening it will also be on our Pod.
The Bolan mix is augmented by some goodies from 2007 right back to the 1920s, we'll have you know !
.
.
Gil Legine steps up to the plate too, on Saturday evening via RTI, at 21.00 hours. This show is already on our Pod, so if you want to nip along before then, it's there for your delectation.
.
.
To add to our weekend shows on RTI, remember we are also broadcast via Radio Seagull, 6 times per week, at 18.00 hours on Mon, Tue, Wed, these being repeated at 02.00 on Fri, Sat, and Sun.
Respectively, those slots are filled this week by Johnny Reece, Richard Bismarck, and Barry De Foyle.
.
.
Thank you for the questions - keep them coming !
More will be answered during this coming week.
Want to know anything ?
Ask away... studio@albumzone.co.uk.

Weekend Playlist, and those questions !

Hello all, and here we go, into another weekend.
First things first, and thanks for the questions so far. Just as we wanted, some directed at certain presenters, others designed 'for all'.
I can see there will be a lot of emails flying back and forth over all this, as the AZ Personnel are rather spread around, geographically. However, I've taken the easy way out to start it all off, for obvious reasons, as the 2 people here at AZ Towers this week, were myself, and Mr Reece.
So, Johnny had 3 opening questions fired at him, from different sources, which he has answered (in a very long winded way !) below.
Thank you for the questions, and keep them coming !
Either to studio@albumzone.co.uk, or directly via our MySpace page.
Playlist first though, as the Andy Miles Show hits the airwaves this weekend, via www.rti.fm, and Sky 0195, on Saturday evening, at 21.00 hours, UK time.

Johnny will return with a new show next week.
.
-----------------------------
Ok, Questions and answers !
This time, answered by Johnny Reece.
Here goes :

Fawn, from Chicago, asks :
In your career with the Album Zone and the thousands of songs that you've played have you ever played anything that changed a listeners life?

Oh, my. You know, I would really love to say yes. But would that be true ? I'd love it if someone would write in and tell me that it is. I think so, I hope so. There's no bigger compliment, is there ? Over the years I've had plenty of contacts where people have commented on how something made them feel, or how they were reminded of something personal to them, or, just that they were stunned at the beauty or feeling of a certain song that they had never heard before.
Does that count ? I hope it does. It's such a nice thought. I've done 'secret' dedications before to people, where only they would know it was for them, which means something I suppose. That's so sneaky !

Marenka, from Bratislava, asks :
I've listened for about a year now, and you steer away, far away from anything in the news no matter how big the story, on a world scale. Why ?

Because we are not news journalists, and we are not a news station. The whole world is saturated 24/7 with news, whether it is the Internet, TV, Satellite, Radio, whatever. Anyone can see or hear news from literally thousands of sources, absolutely anytime they want. It's not our thing, and it certainly isn't our area of expertise.
Let me put it this way - if I want news, I'll tune in to the news. Simple as that.
No, we're quite happy with the way we do it, and I wouldn't have it any other way. We play records. Perhaps we're escaping from reality by doing that, which is fine.

Steve, from Weybridge, Surrey, asks :
Question for Mr Reece to make you cringe ! I've heard you on various stations over a number of years, with different formats, different staff, and colleagues, over the past 15 years or so. Who did you enjoy working with, and why ? And what shows are/were your favourites ?

Great, a question to put me in trouble with anyone that I don't mention !
Ok, but bear in mind this is all about personal preference. Maybe just the time, or the feel or atmosphere I get from hearing someone or something.
I must state, we're all equal here at AZ !!!
I'll start currently, and work back.

Of current shows, I would say Pixie. There is a whole host of reasons, all thrown in together which go into the melting pot. The different accent, the great music I am largely unfamiliar with, but most of all, the absolute enthusiasm for what she is doing which comes over so strongly. I think when someone enjoys making a programme, it comes across, therefore making it even more enjoyable to listen to, and I think that's what she does. She's a joy to listen to, especially when she wants to tell you what's been happening, or places she's been, or gigs attended, things like that. I like Radio to have the personal touch.
Also, Richard Bismarck. Probably the most relaxed style we have, and a great great listen, every single time.
He's also absolutely hilarious, a great sense of humour.

Going back a little further, the shows I really miss are from Nick Saloman.
I've known Nick for many years, and his shows were an absolute education, and fascinating at the same time. Mix that in with a dry sense of humour and anecdotes from his musical world and you have 2 hours of genius ! I'd probably name Nick's shows as my favourites of any that have ever come out of the Album Zone.
I always wish he'd want to do more, but Nick is his own man - he comes and goes, every year or two, or three. Maybe he'll do another one day. I hope so.
Funnily enough, his daughter Debbie did a one-off show for us, a few years back, and that was marvellous too, so it clearly runs in the family.

Back further, and I'm going back to the Caroline Ship, where I'd have no hesitation of naming 2 favourites, who you couldn't imagine could be more different than each other.
Steve Satan aka Colin W Mueslibar first of all, you were always on the edge with him, not quite knowing what he'd say or do next, which was half the fun. Always a brilliant, and once again, amusing Programme too.
I do wish he'd had more time over the years to do more shows for us, I'd broadcast them in a second.
Way at the other end of the scale, a completely different type of presenter, and that was Steve Masters.
The 'Hippy Hitman' as he was called - he only played hits. You wouldn't think that was my thing at all, but the style, timing, and general way of presenting was so good to hear, he was quite brilliant.
Haven't a clue what he's doing now. It's Steve's voice on our spoof 'news' jingle that we used to use, by the way..
.
.
.
That's all folks !
You know how to get in touch...

Steve Lloyd PR The Album Zone

Questions ?

Hi Zoneheads, all good ?
.
I got to thinking - it's been a long, long time since we got into the minds of everyone at AZ. I had a look back, and it must be almost 2 years since the amusing little questionnaire was filled in by everyone, at the time.
Time to update, yes ?
Since then, people have gone, and new people have arrived.
Things have changed, with different outlets for the Programmes.
So, it's time for an update.
I have plenty of questions I'd like to ask, I know that for sure.
Do you ?
Well, ask away. Whether it be a question for one and all, or directed at a certain Presenter, all you have to do is pop it on an email, and we'll add it to the list.
I'd like this to be rather extensive, covering everything from Music and growing up, the past, the future, opinions on just about everything (depends how secretive they are, doesn't it ?).
.
So, get your questions in, and we'll round up the AZ Squad for you, and the answers will be posted right here, in a series of Bulletins and Blogs, in between our usual Playlist and Schedule updates.
.
You know the place - email us at studio@albumzone.co.uk.
.
Have a good week, everyone ! - we await your questions !

Album Zone drops RTI for debut Programme Broadcasts

Sunday, sunday, and I hope you've had a good weekend.
It's been one of those quiet ones. Good !
.
Apart from that, it has been more than slightly irritating, with RTI getting the AZ Scheduled programmes wrong yet again (Sundays 9pm show aired at 8pm Saturday, this time, and the same one occured tonight, meaning the Barry De Foyle show was not aired - luckily it's now on our Pod).
You'd think, after two and a half years, they would either get it right, or have someone in place able to read the date of the Programme.
Hmmm. It seems not. As this is clearly something which never seems to change, we have no choice but to move the 'debut airings' of our Programmes elsewhere.
We cannot continue to advertise and promote our own Programmes only to find they are not getting aired as advertised, that is simply amateur and unprofessional - so, the change occurs as of now.
.
However, no matter, as most of you know, we decided some weeks back that because of this endless nonsense, that as of September 2007, all 'debut' airings of Album Zone Programmes will be via our friends at Radio Seagull, in the Netherlands, who broadcast around this funny little planet of ours, via www.radioseagull.com.
Each programme will have 2 plays, at different days and times/timezones, before moving on to our very own Pod - where you can play or download them any time you wish, 24/7.
Each Album Zone show remains on the Pod for 14 days only.
No more, no less.
.
Finally, some weeks later, we'll send them to RTI for repeat.
So, if you're a Sky listener - do bear this in mind - as of now, the Sky and RTI airings will all be older repeats - for the very reasons outlined in Paragraph 1, above.
We have been forced to make the change - it was simply too inefficient for too long otherwise, and RTI were clearly not going to fix it.
.
This weeks Album Zone via Seagull Programmes, broadcast at 18.00 hrs (UK time) on Mon, Tue, Wed, and 02.00 hrs (UK time) on Fri, Sat, Sun, are as follows :
Mon/Fri : Johnny Reece
Tue/Sat : Gil Legine
Wed/Sun : Andy Miles
.
On to this evening, and the playlist for the last 'new' Sunday Johnny Reece Show aired earlier via RTI and Sky, was as follows :
(please note - new Johnny Reece Shows will now get their debut airings on Mondays via Radio Seagull, from Monday September 17th, then every following Monday, at 18.00 hours UK time)...
.

.
Have a great week everyone !

Welcome to September !

Hi Zoneheads, and welcome to September.
What's with the country images ? Well, as it's Barry De Foyle and Johnny Reece on the airwaves this very weekend, I thought I'd include a couple of pictures of where they, respectively, grew up. Really !
What I did like, is a recent Barry De Foyle blog from his own page, regarding his recent travels, so I thought I would repeat it for you, below - and it also includes his playlist, for his Saturday evening Show.
Here goes :
....
Just back from two weeks in the land of cream teas, pasties and beer (that's Cornwall, in case you were wondering). A wonderful place to unwind and recharge the batteries with breathtaking scenery at the most westerly (Land's End) tip of Great Britain and the most southerly (the Lizard). Add ancient monuments like Tintagel castle (legendary birthplace of King Arthur) and modern wonders (like Goonhilly Down Satellite Tracking Station and the superb Eden Project) and you'll be so relaxed and mellow you won't want to come back !

Some mellow sounds too, on the Album Zone this weekend (broadcasting Saturday 1st September) together with the usual eclectic mix and some old favourites. As ever, there is a plethora of ways to hear - have a look on the Album Zone page on Myspace - link from my own Myspace page or go to:

http://www.myspace.com/albumzone

or even

http://thealbumzone.blogspot.com

Cream teas all round !

Be well,

BdF

Tomorrw, it's the turn of Johnny Reece - same frequencies - but at the earlier time of 20.00 hours - I will post the Playlist for Johnny's Show late tomorrow evening.
Oh, and both Shows hit our Pod tomorrow evening too.
