Welcome to the home page of ToonheadMusic!
Hi there! Thanks so much for taking the time to learn a little more about my show called ToonheadMusic! on ACB Radio Interactive."
It can be heard every Thursday night from 10 pm to middnight eastern, 7 pm to 9:00 Pacific in the winter, and 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM during the summer. I know that might be confusing to some, but I hope I've made it farely easy to figure out when to tune in live as the show happens.
If you're confused by all this GMT/UTC stuff, I know i still am, here's a little help.
So what exactly is ToonheadMusic, you ask? Well, it's a rather interesting mix of the best songs from the last 30 years. You're likely to hear everything from The Beatles and Elton John, to those one-hit wonders from the 80s and 90s, and even some of today's best music. and just to keep things fresh, we like to throw in a little comedy and novelty tunes as well. Add in a little friendly chat and your requests, and you've got yourself 2 hours of fun.
and now, thanks to the one and only Bob Kanish,also of ACBRI fame, you can now hear a wonderful little promo he helped me put together. I provided the voiceover, and he did everything else. It is simply awesome, so don't wait,go ahead and Choose this link to download the first ever ToonheadMusic promo!
You may have to right click and choose save target as from the context menu, but it should work just fine.
So what inspired me to be a dj in the first place?
Well, like many others, I've always loved to listen to music, and ever since i was 5 or 6 years old, I always wanted to be a dj. I used to listen to the radio all the time and I always thought it would be a lot of fun.
Now ACB Radio Interactive is letting me fulfill my life long dream of playing lots of great music and entertaining people.
I broadcast with Winamp, the wildly popular mp3 player from Nullsoft, along with the Shoutcast dsp plugin.
So now that you've heard all about the show, why not have a listen?
Thanks to the good folks at Ultrahost.us, I can now offer everyone the chance to listen to my show on demand! This means that if the show's on at a bad time for you, you can listen whenever it's convenient for you. I realize no time is going to be good for absolutely everyone, so this is a good compromise.
You can listen at work or at home, any time day or night. So it doesn't matter when ya listen, it'll be there whenever you need it.
This show is in mp3, at 128k stereo. That should be good for most connections nowadays. If people *really* want I can always provide a slower stream for those on modems, but with broadband being so popular now, I really don't see a need for it. But I'm always open to suggestions, no matter what. I like to keep the listeners happy you know!
Note you must have The Latest version of Winamp, to listen!
For now, i am only providing the ability to stream the show over the internet, because the files are rather large. Get 100 people trying to download the very same 170 mb file and I think you can probably see where I'm going! So for now, it's streaming only.
It's been a while since i updated this page, but I'm back to offer more archives of the show, so I really hope you enjoy it!
As of 11/16/2007, I wanted to offer the most current archive but it was broken and any atempts to fix it and put it into one file would've sounded incredibly tacky, so I've decided to offer an earlier archive from November 1st of this year. Hope you enjoy the show.
So if you're ready, Click here to listen to the most recent show!
There's absolutely nothing better than listening to the show live as it happens, but when you just can't, this is the next best thing.
Hope you enjoy the show!
