That is definitely true, and it is one of my personal biggest concerns. Right now most of the main staff (4 out of 6) is graduating in 2010, and I'll be staying at UD one more semester. I'm undecided on continuing, but I might due to just needing continuity for the station, so we can prevent a sweeping change in sound. -Phil Hey Bill!

That is great to hear that WUDR is looking to move toward more local/indie music! As for getting music, I'm very sure there are some folks that can help make that happen. I've heard a concern about WUDR in that the format changes with the revolving student staff, and while it might be good one year it can change the next. Anything you can speak to on that?

As WUDR Flyer Radio's current music director, local music is something we are gunning for and are trying hard to get. Over the past semester, we have completely changed our playlist, because the current staff realizes that we need local and independent music, and we are trying for the WOXY sound. I do think that we still do not have much local music yet, and it will be the biggest emphasis next semester to get music from local acts, as well as potentially have interviews with local bands and possibly have concerts at the amphitheater next door. It's something we want to do, and something we hope next year's staff will do as well (most of the staff is graduating next semester). Phil - WUDR Hey guys, new here, pardon me if I’m a bit late.

Cool's Around the Fringe is World Beat dance music. He does take a break during that show weekly to play some rock music, sometimes that includes a Dayton song or two. He does bring in bands and promoters to help the music community. He has done that with me for several years. And my point about his historical contribution, like all of us, music is in our veins and we will do ANYTHING to get to play it or see it or feel it. Almost 27 years now he has taken time at the end of his very stressful and busy job and on Friday nights while everyone's getting ready to party and relax, he is there very road weary, thermos full of coffee from home, in the worst weather you can imagine, schlepping crates of music into the studio......with NO pay. NO pay. That is love. And back in the day, folks like Rev. and Andy Valeri, Steven Bognar....they were the guys pushing musicians along. A new generation is appreciating him, and I take pride in being part of passing that down to younger music lovers at the DDC who did not know of him or his history and what it means to the community they enjoy today. So, if we look at Rev. Cool of 27 years ago and the Juliet of today and ask thee BIG question all these talking heads gather to talk about.....what do we do to keep people from moving? Well, ask people like Rev.. Ask people like Juliet. Ask people who became famous and could live ANYWHERE and chose to live here. (Bob Pollard, the Deals, Hawthorne Heights, how about Dave Chappelle?) ASK these people. Let's not try to make Dayton anything other than what it is. Celebrate it. Celebrate the ones who stay, stop fretting over the ones who might get away. Okay- I'm offline now. I don't do well in forums. I love DDM. GladGirl On a parting note…..

In the less than a weeks time that this posted, I've been hated on twice for my opinion. (not here on the open forum) This tells me several things: 1) People are passionate about it 2) Where there is controversy, change is SOON to come. Let's keep things stirred up! 3) Reminds me that I should never break my own first rule about posting in forums. I'll go back to lurking now. This is such a hot topic!

One of which is a fee that allegedly goes to the songwriter. So even if you play a bootlegged/live version of a song, technically they can get you on that fee because the songwriter has to get paid.

They are relentless in their pursuit of license fees for anybody playing music - live or recorded - that might include artists they represent (which is basically all published music). And they love to use the threat of lawsuits to scare people into paying those fees, no matter if the music being played is in fact independent and original. ^ I can tell you from experience in the restaurant/bar business, dealing with the “music mafia” (aka ASCAP, BMI and the NMPA) is a total pain.

And, on that note, what if you have some bootleg recordings, rehearsal sessions, house jams, etc.....what would happen, if anything, legally if someone was to play it publicly?

Technically, you're only allowed to use 30 seconds of music in a podcast before you have to pay fees to the SoundExchange/BMI/ASCAP, which would eventually go to the label, and maybe eventually go to the artist. Of course, if you got permission, you're fine - which would be easily obtainable from folks on local labels or who are self-releasing. With someone like Pollard, since he's not on a huge label, there's a decent chance you could obtain written permission from the label, which would keep you covered. I'm not speaking for anyone or saying everyone will do this, but a lot of the smaller labels are more inclined to grant permission because you're essentially helping them with marketing.
