Moon Radio

Seasons Greetings

I have been rambling amongst the grunge, retro and vintage world’s of web design ( a favourite of mine) whilst laying the foundations for a new tent’s website we are launching in 2011. Its been inspiring seeing some of the many sites out there , the design inspiration behind them and the current vogue for an authenticity this kind of design suggests.

New York’s Moon Radio site is not only of a retro style but also has a name that suggests its worthy of a mention on here. Particularly as its very quiet out there in tent world. We have some midwinter work coming up over the festive season but otherwise Jack Frost and his siberian ice hounds have put the skids under much tent activity.

Anyway where was i, rambling again, perhaps its the drifting interference on the signal on Moon Radio’s music , that has set the tone. I like this drift, listening to Long and Medium wave radio of yesteryear, stations like Luxumburg and Atlantic 252 that used to be broadcast far from the UK, was like playing an instrument, constantly moving the dial to keep with the drifting signal. The site looks like its no longer up to date but its got some interesting stuff on there.

This one , http://radio.nymoon.com/lawlesshearts/, reminds me of Scanner’s hacks of phone line conversation, a slighyly voyeuristic journey.
