Dynamic Range Radio Presents: All Hallows' Week

Dynamic Range Radio's second annual Halloween broadcast will begin at midnight on the evening of Wednesday, October 24th and play for the entire week leading up to Halloween.

You'll hear a ghoulishly groovy mix of tunes including some traditional Halloween favourites as well as obscure treats for the alternative minded. In keeping with Dynamic Range Radio's eclectic spirit, you'll hear everything from Tom Waits to Iron Maiden, covering the gamut from modern, classic, and alternative rock, as well as Celtic, ska, alt-country, and select cuts from horror movie soundtracks.

If you have a retail outlet or a cafe that's all decked out for Halloween and you're looking for some appropriate music, look no further. And if you're having a party, whether at home or the office, All Hallows' Week will save you the trouble of making a mixed CD.

The Halloween show will be separate from my normal broadcast, so people who discover the station because of the special broadcast will also be able to hear what Dynamic Range Radio sounds like normally. Once the Halloween broadcast is up and running, I'll add links to the audio as well as a separate Last.FM playlist.

I may be offering different listening options in addition to 128k mp3, so check back later for more details

**UPDATE Oct 24th**
This Halloween broadcast almost didn't happen. Last week, after much preparation, I set up a new computer on a new internet connection to a new server and started testing the Halloween show alongside my normal broadcast. Unfortunately, something went wrong and it took me a couple of days to determine that it was the server. The company I'm using had been very reliable up to that point, but I didn't want to promote something I may not be able to deliver, so a lot of my plans were put on hold. After a few days, I received assurances that the server issues had been sorted out, so I re-focused on the Halloween show, albeit behind schedule, and launched it a day early simply because I was excited to get rolling and see what happened.

More server problems, that's what happened.

After a half-hour of stressing out and re-examining my career choice, I tried to gain perspective by remembering what happened to the Colorado Rockies on the eve of their first World Series berth. They had decided to sell tickets entirely online, but demand was so great that their servers crashed and had to be shut down. So if a major league baseball team with millions of dollars at their disposal still can't avoid a major computer glitch at the worst possible time, what hope do I have of achieving perfection? All I can do is offer the best service I can, which is is least on par with my competitors, and hope my listeners understand and appreciate the effort.

Go, Rockies, Go!
