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...
