Enter Sandyman

And so it begins...

Welcome one and all to the brand new, fresh out of the box, still carrying that new webpage smell CUR1350 Music Blog. We all know that the internet is full of people yelling about music, but we can offer something just a little bit different. This blog is brought to you by people actually inside the music industry(even if it is only student radio)

So introductions are in order I think :)

So what the hell is CUR1350? For anyone that doesn't know we're a student radio station operating in the Cambridge region of England, serving both universities (Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin) in the region. Give us a listen if you havn't before. We're pretty good at what we do - giving people a chance to learn the craft of radio and bringing you guys (the listeners) some great shows and music. But of course I would say that wouldn't I...

My name is Sandy and I'm probably in charge of this corner of the webisphere. My official role is that of Head of Music at CUR1350. This basically means I'm in charge of the stations music policy and playlists, which means not only do I get to listen to and judge a lot of new music, I get to do it way before most people even get hold of it. This is my first blog though so be gentle

I'm mostly a rock/indie/alternative music kinda person, although I occasionally like to dabble around a bit in things like Drum&Bass, British Hip-Hop and whatever else comes along. I guess at heart if it's got a good bit of a tune and some depth behind it it usually ticks all the right boxes. Of course the best way to find all that out is to listen to my shows but seeing as I'm out on holiday at the moment I'll leave the blatent show-plugging until later.

You'll be hearing from the other members of the music team soon enough, for now all that I can encourage you to do is to get ready to take aim and fire at everything we say. Comment, agree, dissagree and generally bitch with us please. The only thing better than great music is sharing it with/ forcing it on others. We're taking every oppertunity we can get.

In a world where anyone can shout, all you have to do is shout louder
