Listener comments!

  9:15am
Jim:

Having trouble with the stream. The show LOOKs cool though.
  9:16am
Bsd Ronald:

Surpassing Loveliness!!
  9:16am
Negator:

Stream is down. Would like to my wife in that space costume.
  9:17am
bw:

'morning all and all

whats up with the stream? anything I can kick or shout at?
  9:18am
Negator:

ICY 401 Service Unavailable
  9:19am
Bad Ronald:

[128k MP3] - down
  9:19am
Jim:

For me it just says WMP can't play the file.
  9:20am
kevin:

I saved the 32k stream to my desktop and fired it up in realplayer. that got'er goin.
  9:20am
Negator:

32k Stream working
  9:20am
bw:

Damn - Im sorry everyone

will see what I can do about it
  9:22am
Jim:

I'm stuck with using WMP at work, b/c that's the only program they let us install. If that don't work, I'm assed. I'll just read the titles and make up my own songs.
  9:23am
bw:

Liz B just showed up and assured me that SHE will fix it!!
  9:26am
moon boy:

can't MOON GIRL fix it?
  9:28am
R. P.:

Kevin - thanks for the advice. It's working for me.
  9:29am
GP:

I know you are working on this but the 20k Windows Stream is not working either..for a minute there I thought my IT dept finally figured me out and cut me off..noooooooooo...
Like Jim, WMP is the only thing that I can use at the office.
  9:32am
Negator:

ALL streams are now dead. Liz B fixed it alright!
  9:33am
Jim:

Well that's only fair.
  9:39am
Ike:

Jim and GP: Not that it'll help until the streams go back up, but I was able to install Foobar2000 on my locked-down work computer, even though I had *NO* admin rights. It plays any stream. You should see if it'll work on yours, too. Then you don't have to suffer the evil Windows MP audio quality.
  9:40am
JJZ:

I am hearing stream, I think.
  9:40am
JJZ:

It claims to be Talk's Cheap with Jason Sigal, but there's noise.
  9:44am
Bad Ronald:

I hear sumpin... I think it's Vaclav Nelhybel
  9:45am
bw:

did moon girl fix it??
  9:45am
GP:

Ike,
Thanks for the info. I just tried it and it was a NO GO, they really have us locked down...I really need to design or find a Firefox media player plug-in that is not Windows Media Player. I think having the FFOX plugin is one way around a locked down system but I am not sure.
  9:45am
Bad Ronald:

yes with Surpassing Loveliness!!
  9:47am
GP:

Not yet BW, at least on the 20k Windows stream..still nothin
  9:50am
Bad Ronald:

I got [128k MP3] on iTunes...
  9:51am
Liz B.:

Looks like I've resurrected 128k and 32k MP3 streams and the Ogg stream, but the computer is saying "catastrophic error" for real and windows streams, so I'm thinking this might require a cup of coffee. Oh wait Doron is here with his surgeon mask...
  9:56am
bw:

go LIZ!
  9:59am
Liz B.:

For anyone in need of a low bit-rate alternative to the MP3 stream, try AAC+
http://wfmu.org/wfmu_aacplus.pls
(works great with VLC Media Player, freeware -
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)
  10:00am
Moon Boy:

Liz really IS Moon Girl!
  10:01am
GP:

CURSE YOU Microsoft Corporation (shakes fist in air)...If I had a nickel for every time that oath is raised in a day..well I'd probably have more money than Bill Gates....
  10:02am
doron:

windows stream is back...
  10:03am
GP:

It is indeed....Thank you to Liz and Doron...Windows stream working just fine now
  10:04am
Ike:

Liz is wise. AAC+ stream sounds good on Foobar2000 although the current song info seems to be a bit off.

GP, I had to try it a couple of times. It installed the second time. I had to uncheck a box that said virus-something-or-other.
  10:06am
doron:

GP: totally unsupported and just something we were messing around with but this might help: http://wfmu.org/player/

hit the play button.

Ike: current song info was down for a bit while looking at other things.
  10:06am
doron:

...and Ben, sorry for more talk of windows media. I'm all for bringing back that summer reading thread.
  10:08am
guiko:

Glad The Ex are not the ex-The Ex yet.
  10:14am
GP:

Doron,
That standalone did not work for me , but the windows stream is still working fine for now. The BBC used to have an awesome stand alone player that would play their live stuff and also their archives, but in a boneheaded move they abandoned it for Real Player...arghhhhh! And now....."Music Please"
  10:25am
north guinea hills:

ahhh..., the lab, my favorite contemporary pop groop
  10:29am
Jim:

They're not pop, silly.
  10:30am
GP:

Moon girl wants to go to Uzbekistan?
  10:39am
north guinea hills:

by jove, GP must be the only other person in the universe that knows that samarkand is an ancient silk road city located in uzbekistan....... good show of geography there, GP!
  10:40am
Jim:

Oh cool it's working. And something pretty cool is on!
  10:41am
GP:

I didn't even know they had a space program?
  10:43am
Ike:

NGH, I had to look up the location of Samarkand recently because this evil company is squatting on some even URL with "Samarkand" in it. Like "Samarkand-travel.com" or something. No wait, that's not it. I was guessing Iran, so I was wrong.

I hate this job.
  10:47am
Ike:

Oops, that's "evil URL" not "even URL."

We just got loud thunder and hail here near Grand Central. Zeus is expressing his disapproval towards evil web squatters and the dullness of midtown, methinks.
  10:47am
GP:

Had to look it up as well, name sounded familiar, but did not know actual location...Queen of Venus = HOT!
"Undoubtedly"
  10:47am
Glenn L:

Wow Fly Ashtray!

Thanks Benjamen! You just made my day!
Track 1's called Multicragg btw
  10:51am
Jim:

Nice. This song would be real cool if it had any melody. Heh.
  10:52am
north guinea hills:

i just know samarkand is what the british called the mountain range the goes from pakistan through kyrzikistan into uzbekistan and it was one of the towns marco polo stopped through. i read too much national geographic as a kid....
  11:09am
bw:

ok Doron, books are great but if your work blocks out WFMU - ouch - that is something to talk about

but that said I am reading an amazing history of Prohibition called Dry Manhattan by Michael Lerner
  11:15am
north guinea hills:

prohibition in nyc, fasicnating read indeed....
  11:17am
John Curran:

Ben Walker! It's good to hear you back on the air. Do you remember me? I read for the DeeJay episode on YRNL.
  11:17am
bw:

anyone else got anything to recommend?
  11:18am
bw:

i never forget anyone ever ever ever.. where did we meet? just kidding
  11:21am
Parq:

Tuning in now on WMP, sounds fine. I also would like to see Negator's wife in that outfit. Just kidding, Neg, put down that sawed-off.
  11:24am
GP:

Ladytron - Thanks BW
  11:28am
Amar:

  11:32am
cb:

How about 'Dry The Rain' by the Beta Band for thunderstorm music?
  11:41am
mitts:

  11:46am
