unDISCHARGED featuring ANAMANAGUCHI (US)
October 25th, 2009 • Uncategorized • No comments
Light a fire of sensuality into your internal organs and unDISCHARGE yourself. This, the “Empire Strikes Back” to DISCHARGE’s “A New Hope,” is not a concert in the traditional sense. This is an audiovisual exhibition of what can only be called performance art because it will synthesize music, images, and bodies into a psychedelic experience appropriate for those willing to explore the inner workings of collegiate humanity.
Indeed, this event will not follow the most traditional concert format but will instead function as a collaboration between your dancing body and the following artists:

Boy Scouts Visit WRBC
March 9th, 2009 • Uncategorized • No comments
In an effort to learn communication skills, a troup of Boy Scouts from Lisbon came to visit WRBC.The WRBC board led the group of 15 or so 10 year olds around the station and explained how WRBC works.
\
Alex Hernandez '09, the tech director, covered topics such as FM vs Am frequency and the complex inter workings of the transmitter and radio antenna. Jamie Donahue '10, the music director, explained how record companies send pre-released album copies to aid the distribution efforts of "up and coming" artists.
\
The Boy Scouts seemed to enjoy their visit and even got to voice the WRBC FCC call letters live on the air. Bates is always trying to engage with the Lewiston-Auburn community and WRBC is great tool to make that vision possible.

Commentary: iTunes Flashback
February 6th, 2009 • Charleston, Commentary, Op-Ed, Rock • No comments
I think it is a great idea to take a trip down memory land via iTunes. First I organized my entire library by the “Date Added” column. I scrolled through the whole thing trying to remember each day that I uploaded the particular album(s). My library is recently new, as I transferred all my music in one big lump from my old computer to my current one on 5/7/2006. So, I didn’t get to flashback too far. It would have been nice to see all the way back to 2004/2005 when I first got iTunes. Read more »
