how come I just now heard about this one....

I just put in play circle jerks and similar artists and holy fuck the playlist they come up with is amazing...

best online radio station I've heard....
and we listen to a ton of online radio in the shop

and if you hate something you can tell it to never play it again...
fucking beauty

tireironsaint - 7-20-2007 at 07:57 PM

Sounds like Pandora. It sucks that all these online radio stations are getting fucked with right now.

Discipline - 7-20-2007 at 08:04 PM

Just checked it out, fucking cool!

defstarsteve - 7-20-2007 at 08:17 PM

I don't think these guys are getting fucked with
but I'm liking this
I am hearing songs I haven't heard in years and bands that I forgot about...
angelic upstarts was just playing...and they just played the ruts and the wipers...
and now it's playing blood for blood...

pretty damn good

tireironsaint - 7-20-2007 at 09:50 PM

By "fucked with" I was referring to the fees that the government is preparing to impose on all internet radio. Of course the record industry is behind that even though I can't imagine they don't get tons of sales from people who hear new stuff from things like this. Fuck the industry.

clevohardcore - 7-20-2007 at 10:39 PM

never heard of but will check out.

BDx13 - 7-20-2007 at 11:09 PM

i never understood what that site did.
they just got bought by CBS for $280M.

defstarsteve - 7-20-2007 at 11:18 PM

you can subscribe for 3.00 a month and upload songs and access other peoples stuff...
but they have a ton of music in just the radio...
I have a couple of differnt radios we subscribe to, but I think I might cancel them for this one
I listened for about 6 hours and ddin't hear the same song or band twice....

Spoiler - 7-21-2007 at 09:55 AM

I've been using it for several months now....great site.You can add friends with the same music, tastes and see what their listening too....or listen to thier personal station.Andy Thorp is one of my "friends".
I can type in NYHC and listen to good shit for hours.
Thats what the list of songs below are,it lets people know what you been jamming too.

tireironsaint - 7-21-2007 at 12:23 PM

I signed up and I'm impressed. It does work like Pandora, but it's a bit easier to use and seems to have more stuff on it.

defstarsteve - 7-21-2007 at 12:56 PM

we gotta start a thorp group or something
I haven't spent that much time looking thru the thing just listening mainly
somebody look into it

Murk - 7-21-2007 at 07:24 PM

wow, this is pretty cool.

me and my gf were playing with this last night.

thanks for posting this. i hadn't heard of it before, but like BD, never knew what it was and never bothered to find out.

Murk - 7-21-2007 at 07:34 PM

the only thing i can find that sucks a bit is that the volume levels between songs is too much of a difference. just now it went from Death Threat (real fuckin' loud) to First Blood (not very loud at all with everything turned all the way up).

MemphisGreg - 7-21-2007 at 07:51 PM

Just signed up. Typed in Judge, and have enjoyed what come up on deck so far.

Murk - 7-21-2007 at 08:47 PM

the playlists they come up with are cool, but i typed in Blood For Blood over an hour ago and so far, not one song by them.

I've tried several different bands and it seems like most of the time they give me a song from that band first, but a couple of times it hasn't worked that way, I guess it's just a random mix of bands they have grouped together. On the other hand, it does appear that you can choose to listen to JUST the band you type in, although I haven't tried that yet.

clevohardcore - 7-21-2007 at 11:29 PM

I registered ont he THORP one. Did you all download it to connect with what you play on your ipods? Not sure if I should do that or not

clevohardcore - 7-21-2007 at 11:30 PM

O CRAP THIS IS "PAINT IT BLACK" FUCK THIS SHIT RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

clevohardcore - 7-22-2007 at 12:00 AM

typed in GORILLA BISCUITS and it has been awsome. BETRAYED are good to bad they ahve disbanded before I even heard of them. Somthing about SEATTLE hardcore. the bands never last long enough. Must be the water or something.

tireironsaint - 7-22-2007 at 12:03 AM

Betrayed came up for me when I started off with Negative Approach. I'm not sure how anyone could compare those two bands and I definitely had a different opinion of them than you did, Clevo. I banned that horrible shit after a minute or so.

Betrayed came up also on my Blood For Blood adventure, but i wasn't paying attention.

i guess they're just shooting for the same neighborhood even if it's a mile away.

clevohardcore - 7-22-2007 at 12:20 AM

All of you on this site. Ppost a link to add you as a frined on last mf. This shit is sweet and i finally got my profile set up. Not sure how to find any of you though.

tireironsaint - 7-22-2007 at 12:20 AM

Yeah, I'm sure it's been linked in some way by somebody at some point and I realize that's exactly why it gives me the option to ban them. I'm just mentioning it because I'm a grumpy old man who likes to grumble about the shitty state of music today.

I listed my username earlier in this thread, it's JohnnyThSaint, if you know the username you can search for a person on there and add them from their page. Everybody should just post their usernames in this thread and then we can all add up.

defstarsteve - 7-22-2007 at 12:30 AM

I think how it works is anyoerson can tag any band or song....
so if you have a hardcore band, NA it might play crappy hardcore nu metal shit....
so I think anyone can go in and change the tags, and get rid of crap....
and you can also tell it to never play it again...
and my tag is....
defstarsteve

god I'm creative

tireironsaint - 7-22-2007 at 12:38 AM

The only problem I've run into so far, aside from the occasional craptastic band playing, is that if there are multiple bands with the same name they seem to just lump all their songs together even when they aren't in the same genre. I had that happen several times earlier. For instance, on that station I started off with NA, they brought up somebody I can't remember now, but was familiar with, and the description said that they had a popular name and that several bands shared that name and then the song that played was some techno shit. You'd think with all the tags and such that this kind of thing would be extremely easy to avoid, but it seems like names overrule the tags or something.

Spoiler - 7-22-2007 at 07:18 AM

just click the song box in my signiture,and it will take you to my page.

clevohardcore - 7-22-2007 at 10:14 AM

I accepted your add, and I think I've either already sent a request or already hooked up to everybody else on here so far too.

clevohardcore - 7-22-2007 at 09:34 PM

This thing is the shit. I ended up loading all my stuff from itunes. Not sure if that is a good idea but anyway I added 4 of you.

Everyone should figure out how to get all of us together on there. I added THORP as a group as well.

i've had a couple instances where the song title is obviously shared with some other band/artist that is way outside the genre so i go from hardcore/thrash to some r&b ballad, but the song title and band name says Exodus etc.

do you have to DL something to do that?

does it add to the general pool of music?

clevohardcore - 7-25-2007 at 01:21 PM

ENSIGN comes up quite a bit. Its a good thing though
