Can you browse other websites or use other apps while listening?

Yes, the catch is if the device runs out of memory and unloads the page with the stream, then your music cuts off.

Merijn posted:

I think we could attract more listeners if we just tone down on adding songs that are both horrible/annoying AND long. And I don't mean 10min Bob Pokosy. Yesterday a mod added (or approved an add) for a 26-minute song that was just static noise.

I genuinely like Anal oval office and Excrementory Grindfuckers.
I mean, how can you not with stuff like this?

Really, this is what keeps me from listening all the time. There's only so much in the way of 9 minute purely noise tracks I can put up with before I start adding bubblegum pop or wander off.

Conversely, somebody could say, "There's only so much in the way of 9 minute The Cure tracks I can put up with before I start adding noise or wander off."

Tolerating other people's crap is partially what this station is about.

Sad King Billy: Jan 27, 2006; Thats three of ours innit...to one of yours. You know mate I really think we ought to even up the average!

What I love about this station, since I first listened in 2005 is that it has introduced me to so many new decent bands, not to mention horrible noise tracks that I used to use as retaliation against my eold neighbours, who played Garage and RnB 24/7.

A bit of Costes and The Human Lobster soon taught them.

However reading this thread has taught me to be a better person, so I'll go easy on the obnoxious adding from now on.

I tend to stick to tracks I genuinely like out of selfish reasons.

Tolerating other people's crap while gradually, begrudgingly starting to enjoy it is partially what this station is about.

I am totally ambivalent about Kate Bush. I wouldn't have known she existed if it weren't for GBS.

Goons like lots of things. That's why GBS-FM works.

I hope you've joined and queued some of your own songs. That is part of the point, after all.

Hey, what do you have against field recordings of faint sparrow farts against a single synthesizer note? :mad:

Bowie changed his musical style and personal looks so often that there's a piece in his discography for everyone. :love:

I happen to be listening to terrestrial radio. An awful song came on, and I immediately thought to change tabs to vote that poo poo down and leave a snarky comment.

Alas, it wasn't GBS-FM

I do this a lot with music I like but have no idea whether GBS-FM does.

I just wish people voted/commented more. I know there are far more people tuned in than bother to do either regularly.

Wait, you mean Kate Bush wasn't really Bowie during another one of his weird experimental phases?

I still think we need to be able to browse by genre. Of course, have to have a genre-tagging system first...

what I don't get is, theres a forum at g2 and all these posts (about the station!!!) could go inside of it, but instead it gets used like, once per week to announce a movie is happening.
