The Know How: can we find a new word for ‘radio’?

Jonas Woost — Wed, 19 May 2010 15:13:36 +0000

Assuming there will be no more ash cloud problems I will be over in Newcastle next week to speak at ‘The Know How‘ event. The panel is called Transmission and focuses on the changes in regional broadcasting and music consumption in general.

The event is organized by Generator and Evolution 2010 and I will be joined on stage by Ben Perreau (Global Radio/Gigulate) and Paul Campell (Amazing Radio) on the 24th May.

When I was on the phone today with our moderator Russ Conway I was reminded again of the gap in our terminology: we keep using the word ‘radio’ when we speak of services such as Last.fm and Pandora. The truth is that they have very little to do with the original ‘one-to-many’ broadcasting service called radio but we don’t seem to have a better term. ‘Personalized Streaming Music Service’ just doen’t sound very neat.

And something became clear today: I’ll probably have to get used to the fact that people will call me a ‘former Last.fm-er’. I noticed that’s the case with many of the guys that left Last.fm and I now often catch myself introducing myself as the former Head of Music. It just makes it easier for other people to understand what I’m all about even though we are more than the name of our old employer.

There are points in live where you have to challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone in order to achieve personal growth. I’m planning to do all that and as part of that I will stop my radio show for a while.

My last show (in it’s current form) will be broadcast on the 2nd September 2009. Tide 96.0 might broadcast repeats until the end of the year but I won’t post anything new on here. Strange feeling, I’ve done this for over five years.

I will keep you posted on my plans, all exciting stuff.

This morning I was talking about Chris Anderson’s new book ‘ FREE‘ which I can highly recommend. You can read some more in my previous post.

Also, the difference between classical and ‘popular’ music is something that I’ve been thinking about a lot recently – related to that I played a track by Ólafur Arnalds who calls his music ‘neo-classical’. You can download his latest free album here.

I mentioned this in my show already: I find it very hard to add anything new to the Michael Jackson ‘discussions’ – it almost feels like it has all been said: obviously a great loss for music regardless of the controversy. The first album I owned was “Thriller’ on cassette tape.
