Requests down but not gone

31 May

I’m looking at a new song requester thingy now and it kicks ass. I need to spend some time playing with, though, before I can let all of you loose on it. (And I’m talking to all two of you who actually make requests. Actually, I have no idea how many people request songs, but […]

Software experiment

31 May

I was curious if there existed a Shoutcast plugin for any other music player besides Winamp, because I’m a bit sick of Winamp after five years. A couple of times a week, Toastie Radio is crashing, and I don’t know if it’s been Winamp or not. So tonight I started using the Foobar2000 player. For […]

Donny Osmond singing “Let’s Stay Together”

31 May

No, I don’t have the Al Green version. Al Green version? You say that as if Al Green’s rendition is just one of many. There’s one definitive one, and it’s Al Green’s. Yes, but I don’t have it. Just like I don’t have Kermit the Frog singing “It’s Not Easy Being Green”; I only have […]

Polls open 24/7

29 May

Cool, someone’s been rating songs in the past 24 hours. My plan is to generally release new Top 10s every Wednesday morning, but it will be embarrassing if there is no change from week to week.
How’s everyone liking Donny Osmond?
As promised, there’s still music from another “legend” coming down the pike. And this one’s a […]

Presenting…The Man, The Myth, The Legend…

27 May

Donny!

What? Whom were you expecting? Frank Sinatra? Peabo Bryson? Ludacris?

On an unrelated note, I did settle my hair issues. Here’s a recent picture of this Toastie guy…

Quick update

21 May

I’m mostly writing to move the previous hair post down the page. I got the data I needed.
I have nothing new to report regarding Toastie Radio. I do wish more people would vote on songs, but I realize that listening to a radio stream is a passive activity for most. I’m sure a good number […]

It’s all about the hair

14 May

Okay, Toastie Radio listeners, I have an unusual request. I’ve received some unsolicited feedback about my hair, and it has me none too pleased. Your hair? Yes, and I haven’t liked my haircuts for the past twenty years, so I’m reaching out for help.
Please take this survey
Thanks!

On song ratings

14 May

The pool of song ratings continues to grow, ever so slowly. I know most of the ratings are from just me and a couple of other frequent listeners. Once we’ve rated a song, the song’s overall rating isn’t going to move much unless a few more listeners start making a habit of rating as they […]

Inaugural Top 10 (Coming Soon)

08 May

I was getting impatient last night. I like Toastie Radio the most when the music I like the most plays more often than music I don’t care for quite as much. A weighted playlist is required to have this happen, but, right now, all songs are weighted equally. So I wanted to have a Top […]

Update

07 May

I was about to write an update about various Toastie Radio matters, and then I realized that the stream wasn’t up.  Upon investigating, I saw that the stream hadn’t been up in 11 hours.  There were 25 listeners when the stream went down; that’s the good news.  The bad news, for me, at least, is […]
