"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

Hey @Krys, I don't want to pry, but I read in a thread a couple days ago you were awaiting some test results. Everything ok?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:25am
Krys O.:

Oh, hey! Thanks for the kind words. No word on the mammogram results yet, but that might be good. No news is good news. Just waiting for the results to be uploaded to the imaging center's website. Having two sisters who are breast cancer survivors puts me at a greater risk besides my age and genetic heritage. Fingers crossed.

@Krys fingers crossed for you as well. Lots of breast cancer on my bride's side of the family, so I have an idea of that stress level. But you are right, usually if results are slow coming its because there is no need for urgency. Take care of yourself!

Streaming is not kind today. I get tiny annoying dropouts on the normally-reliable VLC 128K AAC player, and the pop-up player doesn't seem to be working at all. Even tried turning it off and turning it on again.

Hi, wake uppers. Listening with VLC AAC and no issues today. Not sure what's going on.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:42am

Weird. The pop-up player for the archive is working fine. I'll see if the mp3 for the VLC works any better for the live stream
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:42am
Cmurtha:

@Krys Here's hoping for the best, and I hope everything is clear!

@Phillippe the pop up player has been odd for me all week. Usually only resetting my computer seems to get it going again, but when this is happening the AAC/MP3 won't even start.

I've had issues with streams for the past two days. Yesterday was worse though.

Thanks Cmurtha. Just tried the mp3 stream and its dropping out as well. Ugh. I'll try the phone app. The drop outs are making it unlistenable.

@Krys, duh, I've had the same issue in the past -- no idea why I didn't think of that. Once I worked in Peapack (I still can't believe there's a town called PEAPACK!) and couldn't stream, and only get FMU if I stuck the end of a broken dipole antenna into a sliced-open potato!

Some pretty jazzy jazz here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:23am
ɨkɛ:

@Carm, some would say better, many might say no different. It's a bit like Betamax vs. VHS. AAC is more technically advanced but you might have to listen carefully to hear any improvement. Not sure why the app offers a choice when it's largely an invisible... errr inaudible change. It's more understandable for cut-and-paste stream addresses (for VLC, Winamp, etc.) to offer a choice, esp. since a few programs can't do AAC.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:27am
ɨkɛ:

(What I mean re: the app is that, UX-wise, if you switched everybody over to AAC invisibly, probably nobody would even notice. I'd imagine the important thing would be which one is better for WFMU in terms of streaming costs, but perhaps it makes no difference.)
