And, roughly three and a half hours later, I've got to turn off my computer for the weekend.

Thank you everybody who listened in at any point!
we had a new grand total of four people tuning in at once- our previous was three.


SO far the stream seems to be workign well, but I want to see how far we can stretch our luck and when I'll need to start paying somebody to let us have more listeners.

I hope even -MORE- of you can tune in for the next test-
I'll try to give you more warning than "it's right now"

Cheers!

-Occoris

It is currently 8:50 GMT, 1:50 Pacific, and 4:50 Eastern!

We Will be running the stream until I have to go to bed tonight!

If you experience any problems, You can let us know in the chat Here (I'll set up a ZooFonics IRC at some point in the future, so this is just a temporary fix!)

Life pretty much just exploded on me, and I've a hard time appropriately enlisting help.

SO!

WITHOUt FURTHER ADO, ON TO OUR WINNERS!

Alright guys, I have a request for you.

Anybody not following these rules from this point on will be ignored (y'all who sent something before this point via notes or email are fine- but nobody else, because comments are too hard to keep track of)

I need, NEED NEED NEED you guys to

1: not send requests to be DJs or help out. When we get to that stage, We'll start working out shows and who's doing what when, but we're not there yet. So no requests to do DJ-ing or anything, please.

2: If you would like your music played, or questions answered, Please send all queries to zoofonics[at]lupinia.us
It's easier to keep track of everything there, than it on on FA.

3: Please, please please Include the following information if you are interested in having your music played! If any information is missing, we WILL NOT RESPOND.

a. Your artist name
b. Your Genre
c. Any websites (including myspace, sheezy, and FA)
d. Two to four songs that you would like to be played.; or if you’d rather that we go through and choose them.
e. Any terms and conditions that you may have regarding your music’s use.

Time Extended (again)- this time to the end of June.
I am NOT drawing for this raffle until there are more than ten people involved.

Here are the rules:
Just take the zoofonics icon ( : iconzoofonics : ,without the spaces) and Paste it up somewhere! In a journal, a blurb in your "about me" section, or link in a submission!
Heck, as long as you can prove that it exists, we'd be just as happy with a link back from elsewhere! Livejournal, myspace, Furspace, Myfursona- Heck, a personal website would work just as well. We're aiming to get the name out there, whatever it takes!

you can post up and ad however many times you like, but, unfortunately, we're only giving out one ticket per person.

At the end of May, the numbers will be run through a random number generator for First, Second, and Third prizes.

Zoo (animal) Phonics (sounds)

ZooFonics, at its most basic, is Music, Made by Furries, on a website where music is the forefront.
On many multimedia sites, arts that are not quick to look at are pushed to the back of the overall consciousness. Music is, unfortunately, one of them- and though enjoying a strong undercurrent of support even here on FurAffinity, the Audiophiles are left treading water just enough behind the visual stuff - the easy stuff - that it shows.

ZooFonics, though unable to fix this, is aiming to make it easier for the furry musicians and composers to spread their wings a little-

with Furry Radio.
The (correct me if I'm wrong?) first ever radio stream DJ'd, Hosted, Owned, AND Composed by Furries.
Previous furry radio stations played the things you would hear on any radio station- maybe things a little more underground, but nothing shaped by our paws talons, fins, or what-have-you. And that- that ONE defining characteristic, if what makes ZooFonics special.

The people who matter the most here are the musicians, and we're here to give them a lift- Because, lets face it.

It's easier to listen to the radio than to click "Play" a hundred times a day.
and, heck- You never know who you'll find that you may not have otherwise.

One of our artists,  darkpawcamui, is offering up a hard copy of his new album, under "The Pinion"- "Dues Ex Machina"
This is the Ep, and it Weighs in with six tracks- four original, and two absolutely stunning covers- all in a gritty, Industrial style.
you can preview the album -here-

Just take the zoofonics icon ( : iconzoofonics : ,without the spaces) and Paste it up somewhere! In a journal, a blurb in your "about me" section, or link in a submission!
Heck, as long as you can prove that it exists, we'd be just as happy with a link back from elsewhere! Livejournal, myspace, Furspace, Myfursona- Heck, a personal website would work just as well. We're aiming to get the name out there, whatever it takes!

So, as the days go on, ZooFonics gets closer to its current planned release date in September 2009.

HOWEVER.
There is only so much that we can do to root out Furry's hidden Musical Talent, and only so much that we can do to drum up support and interest.

This is where You come in.

Advertise for ZF somewhere here on FA.
In return, you will get a raffle ticket. (Limit one per person)

At the end of April, the numbers will be run through a random number generator for First, Second, and Third prizes.

If you're an interested Artist, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST.

1. ZooFonics is a PG-13 rated Site. We're going to censor the words "Fuck," "Cunt," and anything used in an overly aggressive or sexual manner. We’re trying our best, as well, to not choose music that would therefore have us censoring the whole thing.

2. This is an Exclusively furry written and performed Web Stream. If there is one furry in an otherwise mixed group, music will not be played unless the entire group allows it.

3. We will never use your music without your consent. If you ever wish to be taken from our playlists, just Contact us here, or at zoofonics[at]lupinia.us

4. If we are, though, somebody probably got confused somewhere along the way- most likely us. SO feel free to drop us a friendly note here requesting to be removed from the playlist.



a. If you are willing to allow us to use your music, you will need to know the following:
1. we cannot pay you. We are aiming to purchase a license from ASCAP and BMI so as to play mixes, and other licensed material, however, the goal is a little bit out there at the moment. SO, we are working on an honors system. You allow us to play your music, we will, to the best of our ability, not leave it anywhere for free download, nor play anything that you expressly DO NOT wish to be played.
2- We would appreciate it if you could give us the following information:
Your artist name
Your Genre
Any websites (including myspace, sheezy, and FA)
Two to four songs that you would like to be played.; or if you’d rather that we go through and choose them.
Any terms and conditions that you may have regarding your music’s use.
