All Tubular Bells to be removed
 

To the person who's requesting Tubular Bells multiple times PER DAY:

I've reached my limit. I'm removing all Tubular Bells from the playlist.

Take that...:mad:

Re: All Tubular Bells to be removed
 

Oh Jim........at least leave the original TB on there please. That was always the best one anyway.

Re: All Tubular Bells to be removed
 

Would this make enough room for the TD Logos which still hasn't made it to the playlist? :rolleyes:

NOOOOOOO!
 

Please NOOOO!

I'm not the culprit, but all five Tubular Bells are immaculate!!!

Once again I make my case for a "once-per-48-hour" limiter. 'Course, Roger.Lee will soon post about how impossible this would be to do...

Re: Re: All Tubular Bells to be removed
 

you know, I just noticed that this never made it Vax. I swear I ripped it and uploaded it, but I don't see it on the playlist either. I'll re-do it shortly...

alright, I'll give you all one last chance to behave with Tubular Bells.

the challenge is, I know you guys who responded aren't the ones requesting it twice a day, and I'm afraid Mr overrequestor isn't reading the forums. we'll see...

At the risk of getting banned from AM...
 

...Antiquity speaks from the Limpid Pool of Time:

"Perhaps after a song is played it couldn't play again for 48 hours...? This would also allow other songs to get airtime because they aren't crowded out..."

...Somewhere, a dog barks...

Re: At the risk of getting banned from AM...
 

this wouldn't help in this case, spaz, as we have 3 versions each of part 1 and part 2, so we could still hear some 23 minute version of tubular bells 3 times a day. and that's too many...

and someone is trying to tweak me - incantations played this afternoon...

Re: Re: At the risk of getting banned from AM...
 

Oh yes, I see. I forgot about the live version. Yeah, that sucks. You should play Tubular Bells 1, 2, 3, and the Millenium Bell back to back to back to back and kill us all!

Yeah, I saw Incantations play, and I thought to myself, somone did that on purpose! I almost requested The Wind Chimes but I thought better of it. You're really not a big fan of side-long Oldfield are you?

Ha! I guess this means you won't be adding Tubular Bells II as two parts nor adding The Songs of Distant Earth? And to think, I'm collecting up the rest of the Oldfield not on AM to donate :D (Millineum Bell, Guitars, Killing Fields, Platinum, etc...)

Re: Re: Re: At the risk of getting banned from AM...
 

I like side long Oldfield, my problem with it is that there's a sameness to it, so after I hear any one side, I don't want to hear another for awhile. At least all the TBs, Incantations, Amarok, Ommadawn and Hergest Ridge. Although Hergest Ridge has a bit more of a folky sound to it I suppose.

I thought I added songs of distant earth - I'll get to that. I don't think I'm going to add TB2 as two parts; the breaks as they stand work pretty well IMO...

Schweet!


:( But it's so good as the whole piece he designed it to be...:( But your the boss, so "Aye aye, Capt."

Re: Re: Re: All Tubular Bells to be removed
 

I've got a longer list! ;)

you know I got a point of view...
 

I've been off of the forums due to the hacks so I'm glad I let this run for a bit...

1) You are correct Jim about the forum readers and the requestors. I'm not sure they know how it is annoying.

2) I can see someone with "Incantations"...that's pretty funny!

3) Your promise to keep them aroung if "we are good" will not work if the message isn't reaching the offending party.

4) Should we call you Dr. Jim? You had our tubular bells tied!

Re: you know I got a point of view...
 

I've always preached safe sets...:rolleyes:

Re: Re: Re: Re: All Tubular Bells to be removed
 

is there other stuff you donated that I haven't added? Do tell if so...

Re: Re: you know I got a point of view...
 

That's one of the funniest things I have ever read.

Re: CD list
 

Wow, that's even more OCD than ME!

I keep up with that exact same info in a Word.doc on my computer, but not on a site where Jim can look at it!!! That's freaking awesome! This is the funniest thread I've ever read!

Re: NOOOOOOO!
 

Actually, not only would it be possible, but quite easy.

But I ain't gunna be the one to do it. That's Avian's call. And I think it'd be a shame. 24 hours, maybe. 48? I'm not so sure.

And Jim: I THINK (don't know for sure) that we can set it up based on artist as well as title, so it's 1 oldfield per day and that's it. Or something.

Of course, we couldn't granulate it to an individual artist, so if it's one Oldfield, it's one Genesis and one GY!BE, and one Alan Parsons, etc. etc.

It's one of the drawbacks of running a station that allows RQs....

Re: Re: NOOOOOOO!
 

Hmm..., I think that's quite extreme. I think limiting a song to once a day is a good idea, but not one play per artist. For instance "ShutDOWN" by OSI is about to play for the second time today. 24 hours may be better than 48. However, putting a 48 hour window between songs will keep us from hearing Rome and I am the Sun (Part One) every day.

And I think a solution to the Oldfield thing would be to delete Tubular Bells Live and Tubular Bells 2003, which is simply a digital remake of the analog original (but it's nice in its own right, and has John Cleese announcing the instruments instead of Oldy).


Again, hypothetically, if someone were to request ShutDOWN, and someone else requested ShutDOWN ten minutes later, they wouldn't have to wait 24 or 48 hours to hear their request. They'd instead get a message saying "Song played in last 24 (48) hours. Please request another song" and they'd still get to request again.
