I am forming a “Council of Artists” to address some of the issues the station faces right now, as well as to set directions and make plans for the future. In addition to artists, friends of the station, celebrities, and others with a like-minded, helpful attitudes are invited to join as well.
Here’s what I’m NOT asking you for:
Not asking for Money.
Not asking for Deliverables.
Not asking for Specific time commitments or scheduled activities.
What I AM asking you for is:
Your thoughtful participation in a discussion.
Be a Superhero!
Would you participate in such a discussion if you could save the premier internet radio station featuring the music of women artists from certain doom? Come on… Be a superhero!
Here’s How to Join:
Head over to the GRR Forum and register for an account, if you don’t already have one. (hint: the anti-spam security question answer is “wisconsin” without the quotes.)
Use the contact form (below) to tell me you’ve joined and what login name you registered with in the Forum. ALSO – If you are not an artist currently receiving airplay on Girls Rock Radio (or band member thereof,) please tell me why you feel qualified to be on the council.
I will authorize you to view and post in area of the Forum devoted to the Council.
That’s it. Easy. All Council discussions will occur in the privacy of the special Council members only area of the GRR Forum
Your Voice on Girls Rock Radio – Think of all the Possibilities!
The easiest way is to leave GRR a voice mail, and I’ll get it on the air. In a moment, I’ll mention another “HD” option if you want to sound really awesome on the air, so “stay tuned,” as we like to say in the radio biz…
Calling Girls Rock Radio to leave a Shout Out Voice Mail is as easy as clicking this web-sticker, entering your phone number, letting Google call you, then connect you to Girls Rock Radio automatically. How cool is that?
Leaving a Shout Out to GRR is free, and Google can usually connect you to GRR for free within the USA, but your telephone carrier may still charge for airtime minutes and stuff like that. Be sure you know what they will charge before proceeding. I have no clue what will happen if you try using this from other countries.
What to “Shout Out”
You can:
Tell everyone your name and where you’re from… (required)
Tell everyone the name of your favorite radio station… (required)
Give a shout out to/from your school, or work…
Profess your endless love for someone…
Say happy birthday to someone…
Be fun and creative (just please keep it clean and brief.)
Messages left in a language other than English must also provide a translation. Just put it at the end of the message telling me what you just said and I’ll edit that part out – OR – just do the shout in your native language and English which will probably sound pretty cool!
You can’t:
Advertise…
Be lewd, crude, or objectionable…
Say stuff that would make me not want you on the air.
Girls Rock Radio reserves the right to edit your shout for content or length, or refuse to air shouts due to objectionable content, or for any reason at all really, but as long you keep it clean and have fun with this, you should be hearing yourself on GRR real soon!
The “HD” Option for sounding quite awesome
If you have a nice microphone on your PC, you can record yourself and perhaps a whole group of your friends, using one of the coolest audio recording and editing programs around – Audacity. Here’s where to get it, and as the link implies, Audacity is available for PC, Mac, and Linux systems:
I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day weekend. It’s a time we ought reflect of the service of so many. Some who have lost their lives, others who work tirelessly defending freedom.
If you live in a country that does not celebrate Memorial Day along with the United States, I hope you will still take a moment to reflect on the freedoms you have and the hardships endured by your fellow countrymen securing those freedoms for you and your families.
New Music
As for me, I work tirelessly bringing you lots of cool music from women artists around the world.
Just added are many new selections to brighten your holiday weekend, and heat things up as we move into the heat of the summer.
Chat Up GRR
Whether you visit us in the Girls Rock Radio Chat, or take advantage of the many other opportunities to drop us a line, I always appreciate hearing from you! Let me know what’s on your mind and how I can make the GRR Experience a more pleasant one for you.
