In case you missed the other two dozen comments to this effect: THIS IS A RADIO SHOW, NOT A BAND! *grins*
Who we love, and who loves us: Cool cats, ace faces, the "in" crowd, scenemakers, different drummers, hip shakers, troublemakers, alright kids, anglophiles, brats, hot ones, kerrangutangs, synthsual people, and the slightly off-beat amongst us.
More about DJ Lorelei can be found here: CLICKETY-CLICK! (Please note that DJ Lorelei's personal profile is band-add disabled--unless we know the members of a particular band personally. We only add bands to this profile (the one you're looking at right now).)
About SCAD: That's the affectionate acronym / nickname for the Savannah College of Art & Design. If you're interested in undergrad or graduate studies in the arts, you'll love SCAD.

No? Well, you can also see some of DJ Lorelei's undergraduate and grad school art work on my portfolio site, featuring photography, illustrations, painting, graphic design, interactive design, cartooning, and much more.
Problem Solving
"I can't tune in! Help!"
Did you type http://scadradio.ORG? Using .com, .net or .edu won't work.
"That song / artist didn't sound like Britpop to me."
Did you tune in at the right time? Our show is currently broadcast between 10 PM Eastern Standard Time (timezone for the East Coast of the United States) and midnight. WRFS Savannah / SCAD Radio is on 24 hours a day, but the programing varies (greatly) over the course of a typical week.
"That song / artist REALLY didn't sound like Britpop to me."
Sometimes we play artists who were influenced by Britpop, artists who were formerly in Britpop bands, or bands who were influenced by Britpop or the British Invasion. This covers a lot of territory, obviously. We also try to satisfy listener requests (a typical show is about 40-60 percent requested music). One person's Britpop is not necessarily another's, but we try.
"Can I submit my / my band's CD / EP?"
Sure you can! Drop us a line to find out how.
"You haven't played my / my band's CD / EP yet. Why?"
We spend hours each week previewing listener-submitted new material, buying or downloading (SHH!) hard-to-find tracks, researching artists and planning themed shows. We get approximately a dozen submissions a week (or more), each of which averages about 40 minutes of music that must be checked for genre suitability, FCC-compliant lyrics, and so on. Submissions take a while to wade through! But we do play a lot of unsigned and new artists, many from right here on MySpace. Bear with us, please!
"It's been a month. You still haven't played my / my band's CD / EP yet. Why?"
It's possible that your band did not fit into the Britpop genre. Even if that is the case, we turn over duplicate CDs and any CDs we can't use to our Program Directors and Music Directors. We also have a Listening Panel that screens submissions. Even if you aren't Britpop, you may still wind up being played on WRFS. (Unless the Music Director absolutely hates your stuff. I can't do a darn thing about that.)
"I can't find your podcast links!"
We are not doing podcasts (yet). Stay tuned.
"What exactly is DJ Woozle's function in the studio?"
To be honest, he doesn't do much. He's a ferret. Mostly he just hangs out and acts cute. Occasionally he serves as a randomizing element. Placing DJ Woozle into a carrier bag full of CDs and choosing the first one he kicks out of the bag can lead to serendipitous musical bliss...or surrealistic confusion. He also helps maintain a good balance between relaxing and energizing music on the show. (If the show is too heavily biased towards more frenetic music, he becomes hyperactive and attempts to ferret-dance all over the studio. If the show has featured too many mellow artists in a row, he falls asleep.) He also likes to try to intimidate the webcam, which is apparently really amusing to watch. If you saw a short deejay with a lot of facial hair and fangs, that was DJ Woozle. DJ Lorelei is a lot taller and she doesn't have whiskers or a tail.
"Do you have any BRITPOPTARTS merchandise I can get my mitts on?"
Sure! Just visit http://britpoptarts.iscool.net and look around. Most of the designs featured there are based on listener requests, comments and suggestions. We also feature some sample images of our swag in our "About Us" section. Thanks for asking!

We Are Not A Band! This is a profile for an Internet-based radio show.
Do not send MySpace IM notices. If you want to talk via IM, do so during the show and use Trillian or AOL to connect to "SCADRadio". Getting 50 MySpace IM notices a day makes me crabby.
Do not send Macy's card, mobile phone, or PENIS PILL adverts to me or I will kill you right in the face. Note that neither of us has a penis, for the very good reason that we are female. Cut it out. And check your comments for malicious code. Do you really need the glittery "LUV YA" from that stranger? NOTE: If one of us here at Britpoptarts Central was a bonehead and approved something stupid with malicious code monkey spaminator badness that is now spamming the hell out of you, please let us know so we can hunt them down and kill them in the face TWICE, for great justice. With pointy botulism sporks.
Another annoyances that might earn you a smiting include NOT looking to see what genre of music we play and sending us your big flashy video links to your crappy rap artists. Seething hate for you. Hate, I tell you. While we are at it: STOPPIT with the videos. Some people use dial-up. Gawd. VIDEOS = DELETE.
We also tire of the shiny epileptic-seizure-inducing glittery animated GIFs, but some people don't know how else to say "I love you, man," so we're not going to punt anyone too hard for that. And we love you too, in all your glittery splendour. Glam is truly not dead.
Stop wee-wee-ing into our INBOX, you nerds.
Ahem. Sorry. We just deleted TWENTY FIVE pages of POO and are feeling a bit tetchy.
More standard information to help you out follows, not that the people who need to read it WILL read any of this, because that would be too darn easy! :) They don't have time to read, it's spamming-the-universe time! Must add 10,000 MySpace friends! It's a truly effective way to market a band still booking all-ages shows on weeknights. Superstardom is next, fo' shizzy! (If you happen to be a crappy band, please tell Your People to actually do some useful promotional work for you instead of playing on MySpace all day and pissing off total strangers who aren't into their genre of music. Handy Hint!)
Dear Other Folks: Please refrain from asking for "band CDs".
Please resist the temptation to send nastygrams complaining that our "covers sound too much like the original songs". If you like the artists used as examples of our playlist artists, PLEASE buy their CDs. You won't be sorry!
We get really grouchy and/or think you're an illiterate knobhead if you send us a message that shows you haven't bothered to read anything on this profile first.
We also REALLY hate spam disguised as a friendly note. (A pox on your house!)
Man, we sure are bitchy today. You should IM us (at SCADRadio) during the show to complain bitterly. And make requests!
Do we like suggestions from listeners and musicians? Yes, please! We like when listeners, artists and/or musicians make suggestions and offer recommendations and we DO play a lot of MySpace bands that fit our format! But if your favourite band isn't listed under the (exhaustive!) "Influences" section, this does NOT mean we haven't heard of them or aren't playing them.
Many suggestions we get are for artists we have listed already or which are on our playlists--see the blog entries. You looked at several playlists and your fave group was not on there? By all means, let us know! If we haven't played it in a while, we will dig it up again for you. If we don't have it and it's Britpop or Britpop-influenced, we will do our best to track it down and play it for you.
Artists Wanting To Submit Music To BRITPOPTARTS or WRFS: If you believe your sound is compatible with the artists on our playlists, feel free to contact us about sending in promo materials by sending us a message here on MySpace.
What you sound like is FAR more important to us than who you claim to be influenced by...if you have nothing at all in common with the Britpop sound, you CAN still send in promo materials for the station's program director to review and possibly distribute to other deejays.
Promotions and Cross-Promotions: We love your comments and will join your MySpace groups (though lately, with 40+ pages of groups we don't have time to participate in, we are trying to only join those that are relevant in some way), but we do not publish comments that are actually advertisements (except in rare cases, or when we're actively involved), comments with videos or gigantic images (with rare exceptions), nor do we join groups that are essentially marketing groups.
Sorry. You will be denied. We do cross-market with other Internet radio stations, music-related publications (we LOVE Under The Radar, for example!), other deejays (DJs from WRFS and other radio stations or club DJs) and other specialty radio shows, Britpop-themed club nights and relevant promotions (provided that they don't conflict with our show time...that's fair, right? *grins*). If you love us and listen to and promote us in your comments area or on your website, we gladly return the favour...as long as this doesn't conflict with the WRFS station rules about plugola. We do--and must--obey those guidelines to the letter.
Guest Deejay / Musician Policy: Visiting Savannah? Have a show (or band) that reflects the Britpop sound? Want to double-team the mic with DJ Lorelei? Give us enough advance notice to clear it with our security staff and it's a date, kiddo! (P.S. Bring snacks!)
Now that the Public Service Announcements are out of the way (phew! they sucked, right?!), here's some info about "Britpoptarts"!
DJ Lorelei combs her vaults and tracks down the newest and best music for you, the listening audience.
Is life beating you to a Pulp? Is everything starting to Blur a bit 'round the edges? Well, Get Happy! Now you have a Lush aural Oasis to turn to, a welcoming Haven chock full of absolutely smashing tunes! DJ Lorelei will iron the Kinks out and help you escape your Catatonia so you can get your Verve back. Tune in for some dirty and sweet "Britpoptarts" starting at 10PM each Sunday and running until 2AM Monday morning (Eastern Standard Time), because everyone needs Happy Mondays.
"Britpoptarts" serves up some of the dandiest Britpop and Britpop-influenced indie music in The Beautiful South. You'll enjoy some fab songs your mother should know from top artists in glorious Stereophonic sound as well as many mod, mod, mod, mod nuggets of freakbeat and psychedelia; trashy, glittery glam poptones and the most recent revivals of that groovy Britpop vibe... not only from Swinging London but from other hip and happening scenes from all over Creation as well. It's guaranteed to make the fringe grow on your moptop, to shorten your plastic miniskirt, and to put a little bomp in your stomp.
So don't be a drag, pussycats...put on your best Carnaby Street knockoffs, some sparkly eyeliner, your Ziggy-est platform boots, a pinback-covered anorak or just don your favourite Pretty Things, put your Voxx wah-wah pedal to the metal and tune in each Sunday at 10PM to "Britpoptarts" where the kids are still 'alright' and theme is always Rule Brittania. Yeah, baby, yeah! "Britpoptarts" will suit you to a "tea"!
The show appeals to Anglophiles, free-spirits, wanderers, Alright Kids, the quizzical, people who were unpopular in high school, people who cross their sevens but who occasionally fail to dot their "i"s and cross their "t"s, hermits, Kermit, ministers, sinisters, banisters, canisters, bishops, fishops, rabbis and pop-eyes, Siamese triplets, the unconventional, the slightly kooky, street artists, street prophets, street walkers, cranky wenches, schemers and dreamers, people who say "zed", cute boys who have to brush their fringes out of their faces all the time, the reet petite, the cat's pyjamas, the bee's knees, the dog's breakfast, eyeliner addicts, figments of my imagination, people of all pigments, people who occasionally mix up the pronounciations of "th" and "f", the man who, the man who sold the world, the man with the Midas touch, God (in the Metro), balanced people, the mad, the bad, the dangerous to know, other slaves to the wage, the internationally infamous, spitfires, characters, Mods, Rockers, Mockers, the witty and the pretty, goofballs, whackjobs, nutters, people who are fond of adding superfluous "u"s to certain of their nouns, the oft-pissed, the oft-kissed, the oft-dissed, Twist Barbies, the quirky but not the jerky.
You: Own a computer (check), like this music (check) and can tune in on Sundays...
Me: Will play what you want to hear (AIM me at "SCADRadio" during my shift!) and mug for the webcam at your request. Sometimes DJ Woozle The Ferret comes in for special visits. Check the webcam!
