We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Next up, probably something that will rape your ears...

We're sorry for the instability over the last few days, we had a hard disk failure (it was in a RAID array, so no data loss) and now we've got some network issues.

We'll be back as soon as we can.

I tried uploading The Flaming Lips' six hour song.

It didn't work.

I doubt that there's any point, since even the few hour-long tracks on the site almost never get played.

Is there a way to see what are top rated songs? As in 5.0 with the most number of votes?

Paint it Black has 5.0 with 27 votes.

I was trying to guess other bands, tried ABBA, Metallica, Queen... but I'm finding only 4.9's.

Prolonged exposure to GBS-FM has left me in a situation where I can't chat with my cow-orkers when they're busy discussing the latest X Factor pop sensation. It's a musical gateway drug that has got me hooked on the hard stuff, unable relate to people who aren't kindred junkies.
