We're all big fans of Journey at the station, so please, queue them up from time-to-time. Thanks in advance.

One humble request:
One feature I miss from the original version is the time when your dong is scheduled for play.

I used a calculator to find out what time my song is going to play tomorrow.

110 listeners? That's great. Well done. This is the kind of listenership that brings post-rave artists out of retirement.

Songs that just happen to be nine minutes and fifty nine seconds long consisting entirely of a fifteen second loop repeated the entire time are not music, gently caress your attempts at justification.

This appears to be completely incorrect.

I'm posting my good stuff guys, if you want me to queue up some of my more 'experimental' tracks I'd be happy to oblige.

Yeah, don't queue anymore of whatever you added. Your absolute shittiest work is probably going to be more warmly received, if I can offer you some advice here, after all this is GBS-FM.

Good advice to triple check, especially Coil since they often have a bunch of different versions. However, in this case it looks like it got chopped. I upped the Coil pretty early on and I think the FTP was having issues. I'll fix it when I get home.

PS: Add more Coil

Though I'm sure we're pleased that we can finally play Red Queen without requesting a temp unban, I'm going to edit playable versions of other 'Musick' tracks. You know, to keep the darkness sealed within.

Just like on the first version of the station we don't like home made edits

But, we did make edits for those tracks in 2004/5 and played them often, it was easier than logging into IRC and hunting someone down to unban something...

They're edited and up'd, if you want to delete them just dive in, they're at the top of my recent list. No tears will be shed.

Not a problem, gentlemen. You cannot have uneven ground when it comes to ground rules. Slippery slopes are unsavory, avoid them at all costs.

Cool, registered.

So were any tracks migrated from the old gbs-fm, or is this like a clean slate? I uploaded a shitload of songs back in the day. The comments on some of those old tracks were hilarious. Guess it's time to get crackin.

Some songs were migrated automatically, but all the comments were lost. You were a good uploader, I'm glad you're back.

Sorry for the double post, but is anybody else having trouble uploading at the moment? It seems to upload all the track, but then stalls for a while before telling me (1205, 'Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction') among lots of other stuff.

I just uploaded an MP3 and it worked fine.

Linkin Park got skipped? Hopefully it was just a glitch and not deliberate. Not that I was wanting to listen to it but I thought the point of gbs.fm was to play any music people wanted.

Anything the mods want to skip, they can skip. This has always been the way it goes.

Modest buffering begins for me whenever Bob Pokosy begins to play. After 3 minutes it's fine though and the buffering stops. Has anyone else noticed this?

Where can I get more DJ Magnetic Dozer?

I hear he's setting up something public for his works. In the interim, go into IRC and contact golden_appel, I believe he has what you're looking for.

Once public, we'll see how far the Pokosy goes, and eventually we'll see if anyone knowsies.

What kind of steps are being taken by Jonnty & Co. to bring Bob Pokosy back from the disabled list? Are the number of comments directly to blame and how do you forsee this being handled? Is there a gameplan? Do you knowsy how this will affect the morale of the station if Bob Pokosy cannot be added every three days?

Well I did make this which combines both your favourite things. It's not the same, I know, but hopefully it'll be able to tide us over in these troubling times.

I've never added Bob Pokosy to the playlist. Although, I have voted it 5.

Someday soon, we will all faithfully accept Journey with open arms. I won't nickel and dime you Doc; the winds of march are upon us. And when you think it's just the rain, deep inside your soul something lights up for more Journey. It's then you realize you can't tame the lion, and you find yourself crossing the rubicon while humming Don't Stop Believin'.

Just dropping in to see how the operation to circumvent buffering when Bob Pokosy is played. Sadly, in a few months this will eventually affect other songs (ICP's "Miracles" and ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky" instantly come to mind).

Good work on Bob Pokosy, we're one step closer to perfecting the science of adding it to the playlist.

I've been listening without a hitch for days. The last buffering I had was the last time Bob Pokosy played.

Speaking of, any progress with the fix?

The isolated "Bob Pokosy" sample has been officially hosted on the front page of https://www.djmagneticdozer.com for anyone creating remixes. We've heard some amazing work so far. Stuff that's so good I just close my eyes and I post-rave so hard the veins pop out in my neck.

I think that Peachstapler is the guy jonesing for Power Hours, really.

That vaguely sounds like you're saying I am the only person who wants this. Power Hour was a phenomenal democratic event that drew people back to the station (and forums), working together via an honor system to add 30-40 songs in a row of a particular artist. And it happened every week for over four years, without fail, even on Christmas (although it was sort of beat on the holidays). The new incarnation of the station really needs poll functionality (and editing) before I can do anything like g1. I can't control voting off-site; it opens up the possibility of multiple registrations for a single user, which would be an easy way to tip the polls in favor of a particular artist. It's supposed to be for fun, after all, so why leave the door open for someone to ruin it? It will always happen (the latest example, Christina Carmi cockblocking every Thursday at 1-minute past the hour by adding the Apologetix).

You're free to disprove the above, but what I said has already been posted months ago in the Power Hour sub-forum, so if you (or anyone) wants to go there and pour a tall glass of suggestion for me, I am all ears. That said, PH was something I enjoyed doing and yes, I'd gladly do it again. And I'm sure we'd have people lining back up to participate (and maybe flood those little green forums with some life).

drat, well I know what I'm adding next. That would make a lovely centerpiece to a dinner table. How long did that take to do?

Took about a week to get most of it done. The hair was the most difficult part and I got sick of fussing with it after awhile. The bust is life-size so it weighs roughly 80 pounds.

For inspiration, I put the "Hello" video on loop for several hours while I marathon-sculpted. I can now sing the song and act out the video on command (and probably will always be able to).
