I mentioned Stellar Records earlier. It’s a regular Monday Night thing we do at Stellar Human, our neighborhood vintage clothing store, where I happened to start my modeling career. Basically people are invited to bring vinyl, hang out and spin sides in a communal listening experience. I think the vintage vibe aligns with the Reclaim ethos, so when the ds106radio Summer Camp call for proposals came out, I thought I’d bring them together. My session ended up getting scheduled on Wednesday though, so we couldn’t do it live. Maybe that’s a good thing. It gave me the opportunity to edit out some dead air, and some but not all technical glitches. I tried to balance the levels between music and conversation, so I may have added glitches as well, but we don’t mind the rough edges on ds106radio.
What we will hear is a somewhat eclectic mix of music, since everybody brings their own thing. We will be talking over and under the music, and perhaps customers making deals. And since it is a retail establishment on a main thoroughfare, we will hear rain and traffic as well. LaRue, the mastermind behind Stellar Human, has a vision of culture and community that I tried to bring out in conversation. So I hope people are able to tune in, and even enjoy. Wednesday at 6 pm Eastern.
