Dex Romweber Duo LIVE Sunday 7/17 at 4pm

 Dexter Romweber is a true North Carolina icon, and along with his sister Sara, he's currently doing some of the best work of his long career. They have a brand-new album due out on Bloodshot, and a show at Cat's Cradle on Friday 7/22. But first they'll be stopping by WXDU to play live on-air at 4pm this Sunday, 7/17. We can't wait!

 

Web Stream Upgrades!

OK, well, it probably goes without saying that web streaming on Mac OSX is, um, complicated. 

  • The good news: the MP3 stream is back up, and full-digital end-to-end, from the studio to your computer
  • The bad news: the OGG stream is currently down & is likely to stay that way for at least a while.

I'd kinda like to hear from anyone who was still using the OGG stream, in fact, before I waste time putting it back online. Email computing@wxdu.org if you're desperate for it. And by "desperate" I mean "lacking hardware or software to play MP3," not "philosophically opposed to listening to MP3 streams." C'mon, it's 2011.

 

Action Packed Sunday



Sunday 6/12 is packed with local music, including Last Year's Men playing live on-air at 4pm, followed by Pink Flag talking to Savannah about their brand-new King of Scene EP at 6pm. Don't miss 'em!
