This is, essentially, an ever-changing mixtape and forum for music discussion and sharing, as bandied about in many late night conversations over the last 3 or 4 years and in the making since the late nineties and early aughties. This digital construct was recently proposed during an epic night of memory-making at Station 18 1/2, Sullivan’s Island, SC, hence the name.
I think it a perfect moniker; “Station” as in a radio station that plays all of our old favorites and all of the favorites we’ve yet to discover; “18” as in we’ve come of age…as adults, we’re responsible for our own musical education; “1/2” because we’re not quite “there” yet and truly may never be…the conversation should never go silent because there is always more to be heard.
Since this conversation is as old as time (or at least as old as the friendships involved), this is not the beginning but the middle…and there is no end in sight.
And so I invite you all to formally join that which you’re already a part of. Let’s put it on the record and make some records together.
