What makes is LUVeR unique in your opinion?
Frank Moore: Well...how many radical webstations
are there that are totally noncommercial, completely uncensored, stream
live 24/7, have a core rotation of over 15,000 songs [adding more every
day!] Of every kind of music, webcast a wide range of programs created
by people around the world, cover news, do exposes, cover political
and cultural events, have large on-demand audio and video libraries,
a seperate news site...all run by just people for almost 4 years? Guess
we have to define the word "unique".

Deitz:
LUVeR states it is "an anti-corporate, anti-capitalist revolution!".
Can you talk more about that?
Frank Moore: Well, LUVeR is not about selling,
making money, making it big. It is communication, spreading passions,
inciting revolution. This is why we do LUVeR, pay for LUVeR, etc. This
is what the internet is suited for. The corporate capitalists are freaking
out because they finally have realized that the only way to make profits
off the web is through monopolization. They also realized that they
can not compete with us passion creative people making community together.
So they are coming after us. But that's doomed to failure.
LUVeR challenges the audience. When we first started LUVeR, people
freaked because we played all kinds of music together...without the
false marketing ploy of genres. I know when people freak, we are doing
our job! So we have weened people over the years away from the limits
of genres. They freak when we show human eroticism. They freak when
we do news, politics...anything other than straight music. But LUVeR
is here, not to make money or create a mass listenership, but to challenge,
to plow down limits...and that over time attracts an adventurous audience.

Deitz:
LUVeR's schedule is fairly varied. In traditional radio, that's called
"block programming" where different types of shows take up
"block" of time. Would you agree LUVIR programs that way or
am I wrong?
Frank Moore: God no! Block programming
fragments reality...and gets boring fast! Each person is god over her
show's content...i never know what they will do. We schedule things
purely on the practical level, not on content, not what will go with
what! That would be safe...boring!
Corey
Deitz:
Tell us about some of your favorite shows on LUVeR...
Frank Moore: Do I look that stupid? That
would get me killed! Most of the shows i love. A few i don't like. You
have to explore LUVeR yourself! But my live streaming video show, the
shaman's den, is on sundays at 8pm pt...the ultimate variety show with
live bands, interviews, etc. For 2 hours. And then, after the sexy susan
block's video show, my playing with passion comes on where we play my
videos of live performances...a lot of nudity! And that is just sunday
night!
Corey
Deitz:
LUVeR says it's a "tribal" channel. Can you explain more about
that?
Frank Moore: Well, it's a big tribe who
creates LUVeR, us here, the LUVeR crews who go out and tape events,
the people who do their shows on LUVeR [anyone can do a LUVeR show],
the d.i.y. bands who send us their music, the voices we webcast, and
of course the listeners/viewers, etc., etc....a tribe of thousands!
