I'm sorry, I've been so busy I haven't had time to listen. I'll check it out. 

...Really?  I didn't know they did concerts.  This should be interesting....

Okay, so, this isn't related to music, but it is Epic:

I really love science fiction as a genre, and I especially love post apocalyptic and dystopian future settings.  I have found a project on Kickstarter which is an attempt to write a book that combines both of these settings, which is something that I've never seen before.

If you are at all interested in such things, head over to that website ( http://kck.st/ZWbwvG ) and toss a few dollars at the project.  I'd really love to see the project to get funded.  The book sounds incredible.

Thanks!

I got to admit.  Their album trailer is funny.

That's kind of weird.  Must be a bot or something.

The credit card I had on file with them expired, so when they tried to auto-rebill the account, it failed.  All fixed, now. :-)

We sort of have something like that using the request system.  When songs are requested, it adds +2 to the song's rating.  When a song plays, it subtracts -1 from a song's rating.  Thusly, if a song plays on its own (auto DJ selection) the rating goes down by one.  If a song is requested, the net result is the rating goes up by one.  AT this time, though, it's only used as method of weighting what songs the auto-dj selects, the rating isn't shown to anyone.

About damn time!  Bravo!

Okay...  I'll set it not to auto-start.  The player will still be there, and people just need to click the little triangle shaped "Play" button on the player to make it start.

I can configure the player to appear but NOT auto-start.  Then you just need to press the little "Play" triangle to get it to play.

Who thinks that would be a better idea?

That information is tracked in the database, so I know it would be possible to code it into the site.  However, Oser has been so busy as of late with other things that I'm not entirely confident that we'd be able to get anything changed any time soon, unfortunately.

That isn't actually a bug - It's designed that way on purpose.  It does get you out of sync with what the main website says is playing, but it lets you pause a song that you want to hear and come back and hear it later.  If you just close the player and open it again it will go back to "live" instead of buffered.

Worst lyrics I know of?  Sadly, sung by one of my favorite singers of all time, Jarkko Ahola.

Dreamtale's "Secret Door" on the "Difference" album.

Beautiful bride
and undaunted knight
Are lying in bed, holding hands
Side by side

They started their life
As husband and wife
And now it's time to show

How much they care for each other,
How far they're willing to go?

He moved on real nice
And made her come twice
But then he wanted
To put on some spice

Please hear me pray
I want you to stay
As still as you can be

[Chorus:]
I gave you a taste and you want for more
Let me come to your garden through your back door
Is there anything sweeter in whole wide world
Than ride with this magical wild horse

Oh, I'll taste you in my mouth
My hunger for you makes me howl like a hound
Shout, shout, shout, shout for more
I insist for another round

[Chorus Repeat]

Well, you'll hear from me, sometimes.  For example:

The last Kamelot album (Poetry for the Poisoned) sucked in comparison to the rest of the albums, in my opinion.  I never listen to it.

Personally, I'm glad that Roy moved on and Kamelot has Tommy instead.  I think he's a more versatile singer, able to sound like Khan when he has to, and also able to do his own thing.  Kamelot is a better band because of the change.

~V~ likes Kamelot.  Mir, you don't.  We all know this.  No point in discussing it any further - Unless the reason you are doing it is to make ~V~ or myself unhappy.  I certainly hope this is not your intention.
