Just a quick note to say that I’ve started serving as the Program Director for AMS Radio. I’ve written about the ups and downs of the station in recent months due to various actions taken by the current presidential administration. Those ups and downs are ongoing, so I was honored when Quizboy (the station’s proprietor) asked if I’d step in to handle programming for the station. Up until now, it’s been a one-man operation, so I appreciate the trust that Quizboy is putting in me to do the job.

My plan is to continue to continue adding new music over the next few weeks. I’d like to bring the same ethos to the station that I’ve been bringing to my radio show over the past few years, focusing on new music by independent artists regardless of the size of their following or the number of streams their music has garnered. If I like it, I’ll play it.

Of course, I’ll also be playing tracks by established acts that fall under the “alternative” umbrella as well: punk, new wave, grunge, experimental. One of my favorite things to do when I was in high school and college was to put together mixtapes of cool bands for friends of mine. Now I’ll get to do it on a slightly larger scale.

I invite you to listen to AMS Radio whenever you get a chance. I’ll be learning the ropes for the next few weeks, but with any luck, you’ll start to hear my influence on the station fairly quickly. And if you have any music you’d like me to play, feel free to drop me a line via the contact form on this blog!
