I am back after my home flood 27″ of water druing hurricane Harvery. I am staying at another place for now tell we decide to do with the old house. My station Phat Beats Radio is back up I have a friend who is letting me run shoutcast on his VPS. The server seems to be having somes weird problems got hacked and locked out and also another time a viruse. Hopefully this time there are no problems with the server. http://phatbeatsradio.tumblr.com I hope to have the station running till I move again.
From the flooding I lost 1200 vinyl records from a 3300 record collection a Kenwood KR-7400 receiver decent pair of spearkers and a old Techins direct drive turntable. Luckly I still have a working DJ belt drive turntable and a nice DJ mixer.

Total posts : 45366Happy to see you again and hear about your radio station being back.
Very pleased you are secure from the terrible weather and have a dry place to live.
I am still hunting for enough records to do a blues show for you, and maybe you know that Tim in Bovey has already produced two outstanding blues hours that are linked on this website.
Total posts : 45366I found a 4 hr weekly blues show Mick Martins Blue Party. Only thing I do not like about this show is they place to much newer stuff and stuff that sounds more like southern rock.

I am very curious to learn what “southern rock” sounds like.
Total posts : 45366Allman Brothers, Blackfoot, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, etc.

Total posts : 45366I like some southern rock but not in a blues show
Total posts : 45366I heard the Allman Bros. sample of southern rock provided by Mark and it sounded to me like “easy listening” music like you’d hear at K-Mart, and would not belong in a true blues show.
Total posts : 45366Most of the great blues artists are either retired or dead.
Total posts : 45366The Allman Brothers are a R&B group. Likewise, The Rolling Stones.
Total posts : 45366I am testing out another shoutcast host the other host kept going down the radio playwe on the site has been updated here is the direct stream address http://173.212.219.32:8004
Total posts : 45366I tuned in and listened through two songs and it was very good listening with high quality audio.
Now you need some part 15 transmitters so you can listen to Phatbeats on the radio.
Total posts : 45366I would love to run 3 to 5 part15 transmitters linked up in a 5 to 8 mile area I am broke and I do not play radio playable music.

For the internet stream I am using Radioboss with these winamp dsp plugins Sqrsoft a limiter compresser Enhancer v0.17 a equilzer and Rocksteady a voulme normalizer also streaming at 160kbps helps to.
Total posts : 45366I happen to really love southern rock. Groups like Molly Hatchet lenerdskinerd those are pretty awesome bands.
There are a few really Blue songs that the Allman Brothers does. Tied to the whipping post is one that comes to mind which is extremely bluesy.
Some of Jimi Hendrix can really be considered Blues. Take a look at the song called red house that is an example of a blues track.
The Yardbirds ramped up a really blues song and made that rock. The song I’m talking about is called I’m a man. But it was actually a really Blues track which I can’t think of the original artist at the time.
Led Zeppelin had a few tracks which I considered extremely bluesy.
Changing the subject a little bit now too streaming servers. If you’re looking for a shoutcast host make a voice is really cheap and you might want to look at my radio stream dot-com because they are not too bad either. I’ve actually used both and didn’t have too much trouble with either one of them.
