Crawling from the wreckage...

Too early to call it a comeback but, there seems to be some listener activity afoot for NOTIMEWARP RADIO. With a short and sweet playlist coming in at just over three hours, it basically gets to the point, revisiting some of the old flavors served up when the station was a bit more active than it has been the past year. The library did grow somewhat and I've been visiting the site of a service for artists and radio stations to get music out for airplay. Grabbed the new Dr. John record as well as the phenomenal 4 disc (!) set of the complete Rockin' the Fillmore recordings. Some other great stuff too. Yeah, there's some work to be had. So, we'll keep an eye on things and see what happens. Who knows... there could even be (gasp!) expansion! Til next time...

Kaboom kaboom...

With sand gettin' scarce at the top end of the glass, I decided to go ahead and press the red button. Totally wiped out the old 12 1/2 hour playlist and replaced it with a brand new, just shy of 3 1/2 hour one. What the hell? VIP listeners weren't really swarming to the station and telling alla their friends. Hell, people weren't doing it when the station was available for free! So, let's see what happens with a new set of, not exactly scientifically placed, songs on there. As I've said here before, Freeform radio isn't a big draw. It's not that people can't handle a crazy mixed bag o' nuts, they just wanna handle their own nuts. Sure, they may groove on my nuts for a while and even come back for more. But eventually they wanna pick out their own stuff. Hey, that's cool... I've always just wanted to turn people on to something they didn't know about and hope that led them down the path of more good music. So, here ya go. Since there isn't much there, I supposed I'll get in there and change stuff up more often and try and keep it a bit fresher then times past. But, if nobody tunes in, the clock might strike twelve and that'll be all she wrote. Still no change in circumstance to entertain paying for the thing again and opening up to the non-paying music lover. Hafta wait and see what cards are dealt...

The living dead...

Well, hello potential blog reader! Welcome to the official blog of the NOTIMEWARP Music network! Things have changed a bit since I last visited these parts to blab to no one in particular... NOTIMEWARP RADIO somehow continues to live on despite it's VIP only listener status. Wayward listeners drift in and out, staying for minutes to hours at a time. Sometimes on consecutive days, sometimes weeks apart. I now am finally back to having a secure internet connection, at least for the time being (that's good).
 Things aren't secure enough at the moment
to consider reviving the station to all listeners (that's bad). I am able to change the songs currently on the playlist (that's good). Without paying the fee to start it back up, I'm limited to only a few hours of music if I do decide to start changing the music that's on there (that's bad, but the music's always good). So, for now, I'll leave things the way they are until I decide to do an overhaul. Being that it's not costing me anything and basically living on borrowed time anyways, it might be fun to mess with things and throw whatever in there for whoever might happen to stumble by. Crazy as it sounds, I won't be able to listen to it either 'cause I don't have a VIP membership. Kinda like a Beethoven programming approach. Ok, enough for now. Thanks for reading and, if you can or do, listening. By the way, the old notimewarp.com link isn't mine anymore. It goes to some weird ass motivational site or some shit. Anyway, it's got nothing to do with music so don't bother looking for the station there. Click on the widget to the right (or top right when this post starts moving down the page) or just go to the Freeform stations on Live365.com and hunt for it there. 'til next time...

End of an era?

Hello music lovers! Well, it looks like NOTIMEWARP RADIO is getting ready to bite the dust. The score; without any listening hours in the past 30 days, Live365 will rub the station out as inactive. With money being not very damn funny for a while now, there's been no money for the station's operating fee. It also doesn't help not having money for internet either. The station's been in VIP membership only status for about 10 months now and, I must say, I'm impressed it's coasted this long. Now it stands at 10 hours in the past 30 days. It seems like the curtain's gonna come down any time now. Hopefully, I won't be writing the NOTIMEWARP obituary next time out. So, there's still music on there that hasn't been changed in a while but it hasn't gone bad! It's still good! If anyone who has a Live365 VIP membership wants to listen for a while, that'll keep it alive for at least another 30 days anyway. More to come...
