Hello, and welcome. First things first: I want to address the activity void that this blog has developed as of late. The Blunt web journal has been a bit silent over the last few... months. I admit, I've been very preoccupied, and have had slightly less time for Blunt Youth Radio. But don't worry: Blunt is doing just fine without me. At the end of mid-summer, Blunt recruited an entire new spiffy set of volunteers; from personal experience, these new volunteers are clever and hard-working, keeping Blunt's team as energetic and interesting as ever. Wanna listen? Next Monday, 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM, 90.9 and 104.1 or stream online directly from the WMPG website. Be there and listen!

Also, a large quantity of spam and dust bunnies seem to have settled down on this blog while I've been gone. Fixed that.

Exciting news! The Maine Gubernatorial Debate is being broadcast live tomorrow, Thursday the 14th, on WMPG. That's right, you read correctly. 8:00-9:30 AM, you know where to tune in. WMPG will be providing continuous coverage of the election, so click on that link for more info. So just what is this debate thing going on? And even if you forgot to tune in, what are the candidates' policies? And what does Nate, by his opinionated and argumentative nature think the candidates? Read on for a quick review!

If you are a Maine high school student and are interested in joining the blunt team, we're having an open house in two weeks. For more info e-mail.

An article in TechNewsWorld reports that a new bill sponsored by the RIAA may require that internet audio streams use Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology. This would mean that the only legal streaming technology is the Windows Media format. If this bill becomes a law, the Shoutcast and Real streams at WMPG (the station that airs Blunt) would no longer be legal. RadioFalmouth.org would be able to continue streaming as they already use the Windows Media format.
