Re: [icradio] Nominations Open for head of music

It's probably worth noting that little to no technical know-how or experience is required (Stephen Ingram - next year's IT Manager - and I will teach you all you need to know about the technicalities of managing Sustain!) The only requirement is that you love music (and loads of different kinds of it) and you have enough free time to listen to all the CDs we receive through the post and catalogue them or add them to Sustain - (we get sent loads of CDs before they get released - we found Adele's album unopened in a box somewhere!) and enough time to go to all the gigs which IC Radio gets invited to. If you've got an obsessive-compulsive streak and enjoy managing people to catalogue/rip the vast amounts of CDs and vinyls we've got (there are way more than what's inside the corridor and filing cabinets) that's also a bonus! And there's plenty of scope for organising Metric nights with live music and getting bands to do live sessions and all that jazz. The potential scope is huge - but you don't need to worry about technical literacy. If you can use a mouse, we'll teach you the rest :) Max On Sat, Apr 20, 2013 at 1:20 PM, Allinson, Matthew < matthew.allinson07(a)imperial.ac.uk> wrote: > Hello all, > > The role of head of music has become available as the elected officer, > Christian, is off to do research in the netherlands next year (congrats!) > > The basic role consists of maintaining the music library and organising > the playlist on sustain, this will be a particularly important role next > year as our computer system is being replaced. > > You are also the main public facing point of contact with record labels > and artist management. > > The role, however has a broad reach and if you are enthusiastic and have > ideas can be a great platform to really shape the sound and direction of > the station.

Nominations Open for head of music
by Allinson, Matthew 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Hello all, The role of head of music has become available as the elected officer, Christian, is off to do research in the netherlands next year (congrats!) The basic role consists of maintaining the music library and organising the playlist on sustain, this will be a particularly important role next year as our computer system is being replaced. You are also the main public facing point of contact with record labels and artist management. The role, however has a broad reach and if you are enthusiastic and have ideas can be a great platform to really shape the sound and direction of the station. Industrially, music officer is a widely respected role and innovative stuff done as H.O.M. would look good on the CV of anyone looking to go into the running of a radio station or general music industry work. This is a great entry level position if you want to join the committee, but also good for experienced (I.e old) members too If you would like to stand, email me with your name and a 250ish word manifesto by Saturday 27th April. I'll then circulate them when voting opens next week. Any questions, email me too. My email is ma1307(a)ic.ac.uk Best of luck Matt Allinson Returning officer IC radio Sent from Samsung Mobile on O2

Movie Night
by Butcher, George 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hello, Don't forget to come to our movie night tomorrow at 7:30. It'd be great to see you all and be pretty chill. You need a break from work. I mean 'chill' in two senses of the word because I can confirm the venue is the shared space next to the studio. We're going to break into STOIC and turn off the air con, but I'm still bringing the sleeping bag. Feel free to bring films too, otherwise we shall be watching my choice, you have been warned!

A huge opportunity for a graduate. A position is opening up in distribution in the BBC. James will be letting me know of the finer details soon, but he wants everyone to know about it before it goes on general circulation. The job description is attached- please forward on to your members! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James Hamilton <james.hamilton(a)bbc.co.uk<mailto:james.hamilton@bbc.co.uk>> Date: 5 April 2013 14:37 Subject: Potential opportunity for a graduate To: "Marie.turner(a)studentradio.org.uk<mailto:Marie.turner@studentradio.org.uk>" <Marie.turner(a)studentradio.org.uk<mailto:Marie.turner@studentradio.org.uk>> Hi Marie, Sorry to have missed you at the conference! I hope it was an enjoyable few days? As hinted on Twitter, we have a potential opportunity in BBC Distribution that might suit a graduate. I’ve attached the draft job description – I wondered if you can think of anyone who might be interested?

Movie Night
by Butcher, George 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Hi everyone, The movie night is happening, official. Fill in this doodle if you want to go : http://www.doodle.com/ge7d9gm7e64u3kd6 and I'll try and chose a date/time the most people can make. Film suggestion so far is The Boat That Rocks. Stick any more ideas up as comments or just bring them along on the night. As for actually showing the film, haven't thought this far ahead :-\ Depending on how many of you want to come we can either squeeze everyone into my flat or set up a projector in the shared space in the studio, if someone has a projector that'd be great, or I'm told you can hire the union cinema? Don't know how this would work. If the whole point is a social event, sitting in silent in the darkness of a cinema might be a bit awks. If enough people are up for it then we might be able to persuade Ais to release some hard earned SGI for a few drinks, but we can make no promises sorry. Have a lovely Easter, don't work too hard!

One off show times
by Franke, Christian 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Dear IC Radio, If you ever want to host a show that isn't during your usual time, and this includes extended shows, then first check who hosts a show during the times that you want; here's a link to the google docs schedule to do this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aotbdz5Ce7gzdEZNTXFUdnU5RFh3eU… After you have confirmed with the other hosts that that slot is available to use that day, then email me to get me to schedule a one off show for you. Cheers, Chris

Felix Listings
by Butcher, George 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hello everyone! This is a reminder that your show can feature in this week's Felix listings. For it to feature you MUST schedule your show - the usual way - before 7 o'clock Tuesday, or it will miss the print deadline. You should also add a tagline to tell people what your show is about. Something like "Hard core indie punk metal with special guest performance from Adele". You can do this in the 'Show Home Editor' website module on the website. You can write a generic one, or update it weekly for each show, but don't forget to update it in time! Thanks to Max and Joe for setting this up, and to Tim for giving up valuable Felix space for us. Radio Love George PS: Don't forget we are broadcasting live from Varsity this Wednesday, listen in and spread the word!
