T1B

Mongo kicking it. Jump on in radio/chat. Just click that little link up top and right.

Thinkin' about spinnin' some tunes tonight if anyone's in chat. Prolly start around 8:00 EDT.

Not sure if Indy or Mongo were planning on playing tonight, but I'll spin a few in a few. Tip on in for good times.

Good tunes and good conversation.

Thanks, dood. Good times are always had by all, and the more, the merrier. I have a "what do these songs have in common" segment lined up for tonight that could be fun. Let's rock this fuckin' joint tonight!

Let's shoot for 30. That's the capacity of the chat room, and of course we've never come close to reaching it, but I can dream, can't I? C'mon peeps - let's pack chat like it was Smackchat.

In - for a bit

Cum get sum, dawgs

It's ON, baybee!! Don't be one of the unfortunates to have to hear all about it later.

noted

Thinkin' about playin' for a couple hrs tonight (or until Indy kicks me out) if anyone wants to drop into chat.

T1B Radio on a bit after 9 PM EST. Join in. Requests will be taken...unless it is all guitar shit.

How long has it been since anyone requested "all guitar shit" from you?

Seriously dude, hook, line and sinker. Why bite? You knew that was for you.

Radio on auto-pilot til 9:07 EST.

That means it is on d-bags.

Goddammit. Where are the fucking djs?

Goddammit. Where are the fucking listeners?

FTFY

Exactly. This is gonna be a case of "use it or lose it," imo. And losing it may be fine with most folks here. I realize everyone came here not with the intent of chatting & listening to online music, but rather to post on the message board. I'm fine with that. Like Dins said, if he wants to listen to music, he'll turn on his real radio. And there are other options as well. But I can tell you that I, and probably Indy, won't waste our time playing music here if no one is interested in listening. I'm not being critical, just stating fact. I personally have fun doing it, and get the impression from those who do listen that they enjoy having this feature available for them.

I've mentioned to Indy and PSUFAN that there are some improvements I'd like to see made. First, we need more deejays (assuming there are listeners). Anyone interested in doing shows, please let Indy or me know. I'd also like to see displayed at the top of the message board, near the "T1B Chat/Radio" link, if the radio is offline or what is currently playing if it is online. Lastly, it would be nice if the ability to switch between microphone and music was made smoother and didn't result in a reduction of transmission speed or other difficulties. But even as it is, it's still better than nothing.

If anyone else has any suggestions for how to make it better, I'd love to hear 'em.

Smackie, here are my three suggestions:

1-We need you to quit your job so you can DJ for Chat Radio every night at the same time. Indy will provide donuts and Redbull to you in recompense.

2-Yeah, get something working so you can verbally DJ. We need you to be able to call people names and things while you interview porn chicks reenacting lesbian scenes there in your palatial studio. That was kinda what made 'Spray's radio show so good, his uniquely shutyomouth patter. Even Mgo's barrage of insults to Rog during his college football picks of the week shows was fun listening.

~Rog madly types~

Rog: Who are you to give advice? I'm ahead of you in our picks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(And yes, like a teen slut on Twitter, Rog truly is flatly incapable of typing anything without ending it with fourteen exclamation marks.)

~Mgo reads Rog's frantic screed; he rolls his eyes and takes a long pull from his beer~

Burping into the mic, he smirks, "Rog, you're still a fucking moron, and where's my twenty bucks, you cheap cripple?"

We could feel his derision as clear as day through our speakers. Hearing Mgo's sheer frustration/disdain/incredulity/etc, it was kinda cool.

So, yeah, as retarded as you find most people to be, hearing your responses to inane comments in Chat would be comedy gold.

3-You need a nice, shiny red "shitcan the dirtclod" button, which is to be used in instances such as when Barf complains that no one is chatting, while he's not chatting either, except to complain that no one is chatting. It may also be employed whenever someone's sole contributions to Chat consist of pointlessly haraunging Indy, reminding us that he fought in Vietnam, and, especially, that despite being in his sixties he's once again high on pot while watching NASCAR.

Use that button with a vengeance, Smackie. It's a good button.

Mikey wrote:Goddammit. Where are the fucking djs?

I played until almost 11 PM. At the time, I had been the only one in there for an hour so I bailed.

Like Smackie said, where's the listeners? Maybe the new has worn off, but we used to have between 8-12 listeners regularly, even after those who we don't speak of departed.

I agree it would be nice to get the mic and radio in tune better. Maybe I can work on that some myself. SMackie has the 411 on the server and can help too if needed.

Smackie, one BIG reason for the dropoff, I believe, is college/pro football is over and college basketball is over. We are really in the offseason right now I believe. People came to chat in droves to discuss football/basketball and music was just as equal a component of the chat/radio as chat and whatever game was going on everyone was watching.

Sudden Sam wrote:I thoroughly enjoyed the evening I spent with Smackie and the rest of the bunch. Great music and fun interaction on chat. I'd love to do a show, but...

My problems are threefold:

1 - Shitty computer at the house. Can't handle anything.

2 - Still haven't gotten an external drive to store my music, so I can't access shit quickly.

3 - I hate to even look at a computer when I leave work.

I'd like to do a show myself sometime. I'm thinking a once a week show where I play nothing but live music. I just need a little more time to get my collection up to snuff.

Absolutely. Often times, Chat was almost solely about football.

Also, yep, the lack of 'Spray and Katy has reduced the listenership, if for no other reason - though there are other reasons as well - that they represented two more DJs who were willing to go on all the time, then stay on all freaking night. There was Chat going on almost all the time there for a while, what with Katy, 'Spray, Marty, Smackie and Indy sharing the reins, and let's be honest about it: When 'Spray and Katy were there, the Chat was much more lively, in large part because of them. Between their dramas and the fact that they spoke over the radio, they drew more listeners; it wasn't solely about the songs being played, the way it is now.

I enjoy the chat and radio and check in whenever I'm able. Now that it's staying light later and warming up, some of us have chores to do around the house and whatsuch.

I tried logging in last night for Indy's show around 10 or so and there was no live stream. Seems I'm constantly having tech issues, refreshing, or have to completely reboot. Kinda' sucks, but no biggie.

I posted a thread at Mag7 about your good work here, Smackie. Still wondering about that 'board personna' comment you made the other day.

Play it, and they will come. Maybe not in the quantity you'd wish for, but hopefully in the quality.

And Indy, other that your need to shove country down my eardrums, you're solid. I have no idea why you'd think I'd like country. I'm a city boy.

This is right.

Radio/Chat won't thrive here unless there is 'conflict' or potential conflict.
It's what draws interest.

You need someone to run smack on air, or in chat, so that in the morning, people are standing around the water cooler saying, "Poptart said WHAT last night?? Damn, I better get in there and listen tonight."

If folks aren't gettin' fucked up, pffft, forget it.


9:07, fuckos.

poptart wrote: Radio/Chat won't thrive here unless there is 'conflict' or potential conflict.

Disagree.

I don't need or want a soap opera he said she said chat/radio.

I want good music first and then some decent repartee among the chatters, some biting sarcasm, like dudes sitting at the bar.

I seldom visit Mag7, but when I was there a couple weeks ago and saw some of the back & forth between you & Bace, it just seemed that you were trying to emphasize the IKYABWAI rather than avoid it. Figured it was a troll.

Gonna play for a while tonight starting about 8:30 EDT. Hope to see a few of y'all in chat.

Hey, I'm doing my part to keep things rolling and I have to give van credit for stiring up the chat with his 'expert guitarist' critique of every fukin song.

So what you're sayen is you wish this place had all of the features that Otis n Katy's board, http://www.rackthetrolls.com already has.

This concerns me.

He also mentioned that I had a 'different board persona' at Mag 7 than I do at T1B, which really blew me away since I seldom post here.... I didn't know Smackie posted here.

But this isn't about the 'tard that is me, it's about Smackies radio show... which he did for 4 straight days last week and I caught much of all of it.

So Mr. Smackie Chan, since you apparently check in here, this is a shout out to you for a job well done. Keep doing what you are doing.

Oh... and guess I'll give a shout to Ana and Prime while I'm at it, even that Strange Brew dude who seems to think he's got it all figured out.

Lastly, if orc drops by... I'll most certainly be in Springfield on Saturday. Could you direct a brother to a better BBQ joint than what I found last time?

Wags, you should drop by RTT and Mag7's radio and chat sometime.

Between PrimeX, Ana, Haywood, Ali, ElvisMonster, Junction plus a bunch from CF dj'n along with Katy, yt1300inhtown , and shutyomouth..... there's a pretty deece group. It's always a full house in there...
Hell, Smackie drops into chat there too and we've said he's more than welcome to do a show there.

(Just doing my part to help pick up the slack during Luther's April sabbatical from posting here)

They also have close to if not more than 14 radio DJs and with the traffic they have going at RTT being a lot more than here Chat/Radio is lively every single night.

Pope, with all due respect, who gives a fuck?

Barf, guess what they play on the radio in Chat? Music. Guess what's in most pop and rock music? Guitar playing. Guess what one of my hobbies happens to be?

If music is ever replaced in Chat by the sounds of bongloads being bogarted while the discussion turns to talk of '60s era artillery minutiae, hey, I'm sure you'll dive right in with enthusiastic, expert critiques.

so that was what that was about.

I don't even remember a conversation with Bace at Mag7, but I'll certainly remember that you hone in on the IKYABWAI angle at the leasted opportunity. Got any KFC Paul fat jokes you'd like to share?

How droll.

I expect better of you and we'll put this episode behind us.

Wags, get your ass in chat. Smackie is en fuego.

Typical of the general mood here you take this stuff much to serious. I'm just teasing/trolling you, indy, wags whoever in much the same way plenty of people take shots at me, especially on the nam subject. The difference is I don't care and you apparently do. You've probably noticed I go quiet when you and spray are in a heavy music discussion. Just being courteous and staying out of what doesn't interest or concern me. When the chat gets more general I jump back in. I'd like to remind you that you can go into a private room with another musiic fan and talk guitars to your hearts content without being bothered by any other posters and still listen to the radio. Also, the chat has an "ignore" feature. If you don't want to see the cheap shots and other stuff I post then use it and quite whining.

Yeah, you're not taking this chat stuff too seriously, barf. Nope, not at all.
