Why would we want to punish the entire station? Nah, you'll most likely turn into a catgirl.

And trust me, that is an incredibly annoying thing. As is the remedy for it.

[edit] Can we turn on the IRC wordfilter for a few hours? Do we still have it?

Short answer: No.

Only reason that could be implemented at the time was because kalleboo hosted one of the servers on the network. That doesn't happen now and we have nominally 3 servers but right now we are limping along on 2: kiri.hub, katrina.irc and dickshield.irc (dickshield is still down for the time being). As far as I know Winkie pays for all 3.

gently caress, it's good to be back. I've missed having lots of comments, lots of votes and a long playlist with stuff I've never heard.

New listeners: The unique brand of humor that has developed on GBS-FM over the past 6 (poo poo, seriously?) years is grating but affable. You'll get used to it soon enough, and there's plenty of wheat among the chaff.

I credit an incredible widening of my musical tastes directly to GBS-FM over the years. It is A Good Thing.

(for those wondering how it differs from Spotify/Last.fm/etc is purely in the community and unpredictability of it. On Spotify you get "similar" artists, but will never encounter a completely leftfield option you didn't know existed and couldn't see yourself liking prior to hearing it.

Here's to a good run into the far future and new fridge magnets :patriot:

I'd really like to hear that one, though I suspect I'd want a fast-forward button available to enjoy it optimally.

EDIT: Oh, I found it. Sadly, it's not related to the movie, Labyrinth.

I didn't think it was even possible to upload such huge mp3 files. My FTP client was repeatedly timing out trying to upload segments of Beethoven's 9th, the longest of which is 17 minutes (24MB).

If GBS ever decided to get a theme song, it would have to be Bob Pokosy.

It should be possible, the maximum file size is set around 75MB if I remember correctly. The ftp server is just a bit moody at times, but at least it resumes uploads (usually).

Hey Gram-O-Phone, where are you getting all these old pop recordings from, anyway? It's an interesting niche I hope you keep up.

Thanks Nihiliste, I'm glad people are enjoying them. I wasn't sure what the response would be when I queued the first one, but it seemed to go down quite well. The tracks come from various places, some of them have been transferred from my own collection of 78s, some are from compilation LPs and a few I found on a music sharing site (back when those things still existed).

I'll certainly be adding some more - so far they have all been electrical recordings from the mid 20s onwards but I'll be uploading some earlier acoustically recorded stuff later on

Seconding that your dongs are awesome and you should keep it up.

Do you have any field recordings or early blues/folk type stuff?

I noticed this a while ago. I think either people have gotten tired of voting and commenting or people have stopped actively paying attention to the interface while listening.
