Today included a tour of the WPS1 ArtRadio studios in the downtown Clock Tower Gallery. They stream art, cultural, and music programming 24/7, in every conceivable format. They also do a live stream of P.S.1 Warm Up every Saturday (this Saturday is the last one until next summer, BTW). The station is located in the clock tower atop the NY Life Insurance Company Building, built in 1894–98. As an added bonus, Marvin Schneider, the New York City Clockmaster happened to be there to do some maintenance on the clock and to take some singing lessons (I swear to god). We also met Station Manager Jeannie Hopper, who hosts Liquid Love on WPS1 and the Liquid Sound Lounge DJ show on WBAI (New York 99.5).
So today I wandered around the roof of a massive New York City landmark, toured a great online radio station, and met the city's Clockmaster. All before lunch. Nice.
Associated Press Editors No Read Good
The Associated Press has unintentionally provided the most depressing [non-hurricane-related] headline of the week: "2005 Grads Earns Highest SAT Math Scores." Nice one, guys. Obviously the folks over at AP scored higher on the math section as well.
