Underground force...

Hello dare, boys and goils! Another rare sighting of a blog post by the musical entity know as NOTIMEWARP MUSIC! It was about 6 months ago I was preparing funeral arrangements for the radio station, throwing everything out da window and trying one last programming idea; using the force and programming without the benefit of actually being able to listen to the station. Funny thing happened; it's kinda been working! While I'm unsure of the actual number of listeners, it's been enough to keep things going for not only the last six months, it appears at least another coupla months. It remains in VIP mode so that limits the number of people who can listen greatly but someone apparently listens on a fairly regular basis. I guess when I listen, I start throwing in stuff that makes the format just a little too spread out and scares off whoever's been listening. When I started this back in 2004, it was Classic Rock orientated but avoiding most of the songs you hear 26 times a day, and that worked very well. But then I wanted to hear more stuff beyond that and went fairly Freeform with it. I loved it and most of my future ex-listeners gave it the finger and left. Now, it's still kinda varied but a bit closer to the original format. Whatever works, right? I haven't entered too many songs never previously played on the station but, so far, whoever's listening is happy with what's on there. I can dig it. Last check on the broadcaster forums at Live365 has noted some long time broadcasters leaving, finally having enough of the same difficulties that present themselves broadcasting with Live365. Rather than pay money to subject my listeners and myself to that, I think I'll just do what I've been doing, since it doesn't cost me anything, saving myself both time and frustration. So, if you do have a Live365 membership (now available for around $5 a month), come check out the station... You may just like it...
