Hard to believe a year has already passed since the good folks at Live365 found a way to resurrect internet radio for the masses. In that time BRR has run mostly in “AutoDJ” mode because with the eclectic nature of this station, there’s nothing you can do wrong.
Except one thing.
That thing is playing a lot of “twin spins” or the same song twice in a row. It’s recently become a bit of a nuisance, and for that reason, I’m starting to program content much like BRR on the original Live365. It kicks off today April 15th at 2p.m. EDT. There will still be some AutoDJ playing, but only as needed to meet the requirements for DMCA.
So, if you do hear a song or station ID repeat, please click “About/Contact” on the menubar above and send me an email with the name of the song and the time it played twice. Please include your time zone or difference to GMT.
Thanks so much for listening!
@Cat Chew: Definitely far out!
I really need more music from space.

On 20 July 2018 around 21:50 local time, ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst welcomed the legendary electronic band Kraftwerk and 7500 visitors to the Jazz Open Festival on Stuttgart’s Schlossplatz – live from the International Space Station, where he will live and work until mid-December 2018. During the call with space, Kraftwerk founding member Ralf Hütter and Alexander played a special duet version of the track Spacelab, for which Alexander had a tablet computer configured with virtual synthesizers on board. With thanks to Kraftwerk for sharing this video footage.
It’s a death match between Articles I and II vs Article III now. Only super majorities in both houses and the WH will be able to subdue a rabid SCOTUS.
If the GOP gets their wish of a lapdog SCOTUS, this country will become so ugly, only the ugliest will want to live here.
Shit looks bad, but it’s not the first time. I’m concerned but also excited to see how this all gets shut down in time.

Everything’s Up for Grabs Now. What Will Stop Them from Taking It?
Conservative Republicans have succeeded in every assault on democracy. That includes hijacking the Supreme Court.

Republicans Can Take Some Time Off. The Supreme Court Just Did Their Job for Them.
The decision to crush public-sector unions concludes a term of relentless conservative judicial activism.

@Jmach1P: That whole album is just as good which is why it’s uploaded in the library on the server as is most of her songs. You know, her dad Gene, wrote the massive hit Snowbird? Talent runs deep in the MacLellan clan.

Scott Pruitt’s $43,000 Cone Of Silence Was Illegal AF. Bet He’s In Big Trouble Now.
@Jmach1P: I noticed a couple instances of the signal dropping around that time and wasn’t sure if it was the system or a problem on my end. Their servers may be getting stressed during peak demand hours maybe?
That song was by the trio that goes by “I’m With Her”. Sarah Watkins, Sarah Jaroz and Aoife O’Donnovan. Don’t check my spelling on these names. 😉
Yes, I tuned in about 4:10 pm CT
during the “. . . Husband” song by “I’m With Her” ?
the audio became muted while playing.
I had to close, and restart my player.
No problems for the last 2 & 1/4 hours,
🙂
Whew, the first pass of the first show was not without some “excitement”. I had at least 3 glaring errors and there was some interruption in the signal, at least on my end. The 7 pm rerun should go a lot smoother. In the meantime there will be 60 minutes of AutoDJ.
Back to programming.
