Wadō (era)

Wadō (和銅) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Keiun and before Reiki. This period spanned the years from January 708 through September 715. The reigning monarch was Empress Genmei.

Change of era

  • 708 Wadō gannen (和銅元年): The new era name Wadō (meaning "Japanese copper") was created because a high quality copper mine was discovered in Chichibu in Musashi province, what is now known as former Wado Mine. The previous era ended and the new one commenced in the spring of Keiun 5, on the 11th day of the 1st month of 708.

    • The Japanese word for copper is dō (銅); and since this was indigenous copper, the "wa" (the ancient Chinese term for Japan) could be combined with the "dō" (copper) to create a new composite term -- "wadō"—meaning "Japanese copper." A mint was established in the province of Ōmi; and the Wadō era is famous for the coin wadōkaihō/wadōkaichin (和同開珎), which is recognized as the first Japanese currency. -- see image of Wadō Kaichin from Japan Mint Museum

    History

    Early programming

    This station was launched as WGL on January 30, 1927, and was owned by the International Broadcasting Corporation. WGL president Colonel Lewis Landes stated on the inaugural broadcast, "The International Broadcasting Corporation's aim is to adhere to truth, to be free of partisanship, religious or political."

    WGL was the first station to protest the frequency allocations of the Federal Radio Commission in May 1927. WGL was authorized to move to 1170 AM, but wanted to go to 720, occupied by WOR. When WOR was awarded the 710 frequency, both stations went to court, with WOR eventually winning the case. Finally in June 1927, WGL moved to 1020 AM and shared time with Paterson station, WODA.

    In August 1927, studio manager Charles Isaacson announced one of the city's first attempts at local news coverage. WGL was organizing listeners to volunteer as radio reporters and call the station with breaking news stories.

    Braindead Hero

    by: Udo

    For a long time he's been lucky man
    No difference if it's good or bad
    The trigger's his - the orders others
    No way to stop the final blow
    The message: here ya go
    The countdown's on a roll
    War against the world
    All systems deadly armed
    Machine, man, all in one
    They're all oblivious to the crime
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - feel the blazing guns
    Now we got to blow his circuitry
    Drain the poison from his veins
    Degenerate - corrupt his memories
    Fire at will - just do or die
    The message: here ya go
    The countdown's on a roll
    War against the world
    All systems deadly armed
    Machine, man, all in one
    They're all oblivious to the crime
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero -like a hammer from the sky
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - supersonic cry
    You better stay just where you are
    Consequences in the fire
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
    Braindead hero
