Dependent on the number of users participating it could either be like SMWC Idol or a 1vs1 elimination for each round (with a Tournament bracket and stuff).


I've got an idea that I've shared on #radio; I'd like to speak with you and x-treme about it. Valentine's Day is next Sunday. The SMWC DJing feature has recently updated and I'd like a promotional event for people to start tuning in. So here's my proposal... On Sunday the 14th of February, we have a special DJ schedule for that particular day in which each DJ does a short 30 minute set each, playing love songs. If we have a news post endorsing this, then hopefully users who wouldn't usually tune in will give it a go. The DJs could put on a show for the people. The reason I'm suggesting only 30 minute sets each is to try and have every DJ get their well-thought-out track schedule in the spotlight of everyone reading the news post, before handing it to the next DJ. The contingency for anyone failing to meet their allocated slot is having an available DJ fill that slot and not let the stream go silent while we're having designated event time. This can be actively managed by the group of DJs on IRC, so we'll all know who's up next, who's not here on time and who wants to cover, things like that. I'd like the stream feature to get some more love, so how about letting us have a DJ event for Valentine's Day? I think we could put on a show for people to listen to. - Postscriptum - And I'd like to throw it in there that I still want the "Tune in!" hyperlink to just play. |
Originally posted by ninja boy I don't think this is a bad idea and obviously there's a lot of romantic songs but the big question I'd ask is how many people want to just listen to love songs for a day? Really I bet we'd see some stuff like girl at the video game store or less than three but yeah plain mushy stuff gets a little old quick. Well, perhaps it doesn't have to be exclusively love songs. Perhaps it can just be an event for Valentine's Day with a mix of songs that don't have to be love songs exclusively. I've got plenty love songs that aren't too mushy, music comes in all sorts of forms; love is in so many tracks that the stream ends up having love songs in it anyway. I'll definitely be playing love tracks what ever happens, but it's not automatically going to be the same tone for being love related, it's music! Love is just a subject, not a genre. I suggest that it could be up to the DJs to try and not to be boring with how they choose to spend their 30 minutes on Valentine's Day. The event could even be entitled "Valentine's Day DJ Show" as opposed to "Love-Fest On The Stream" or "Secks On The Dex"; that way the listener shouldn't be mislead with expecting exclusively love songs if it's not what is going to be playing all the time. The unspoken rules of common sense still apply; streaming is performing for other people, that's the focus. If your tracks are getting old, switch it up. |
