BURNING MAN INFORMATION RADIO (BMIR)
DJ's and On-Air Hosts Wanted:
BMIR 94.5 FM (aka Burning Man Information Radio) seeks DJs and on-air shows that, paradoxically, represent the spirit of the Burning Man community by playing what you typically don't hear everywhere else on the playa.
Allow us to expand on this seemingly self-contradictory request: What we're after is a theme of ubiquitous uniqueness, wondrous one-of-a-kindness, subtle strangeness, and all the great elements that make the Burning Man community so lovably unpredictable, even to itself.
What we want to avoid is what you know you can find elsewhere, both in and out of Burning Man. What styles of music are we talking about? WE WON'T TELL! No laundry lists of what's okay and what isn't! Just one piece of advice: If you've already heard it all day (or all night) at another camp, it's probably not for BMIR. Our non-exclusive musical guiding light is to focus on what doesn't get play elsewhere--whether it's a specific artist or a specific piece of music or an eclectic mix the likes of which would send commercial radio executives screaming to their mamas. This doesn't mean your mix needs to be a sonic jambalaya of intentional obscuritanism; it just means that we're shooting for programming as diverse, dynamic, and energetic as the citizens of the city.
If you're interested in joining our on-air team, please send us a mix CD of the kind of soundscapes in which you envision enveloping the playa. Better yet, send us a sample show with your own beautiful banter mixing it up with the music.
And by the way, we're not just talking about music -- you wanna have a talk show about art cars? ("Art Car Talk", anyone?) Playa fashion tips? Burning poetry slam? If you have a show idea you'd like to birth on air, please forward us a description of what you imagine hearing.
You can always email us at bmir(at)burningman(dot)com
