How did I wind up posting that thrice?

Maybe so we'd notice a lot of them lately too.

As per Godspeed's Hompage and AMG's entry, the song "9-15-00" needs an extra zero - "09-15-00"


I've noticed a lot of these little things lately...

Was there a reason you posted this three times or was that a system belch?

Damn! That's why I didn't find it!

System belch. I hit "submit reply" but nothing happened, so I hit it again. I dunno...

[Yesspaz]

Two more:

1. The Moody Blues' album "To Our Children's Children" is listed as "To Our Children's Children's" - at least the song "Watching and Waiting" anyway.

2. The band Xang has a song listed as by XANG, so SAM will see XANG and Xang as different artists.

Not so much a typo or playlist error but I noticed that when Passport - Ostinato played just now that What's Playing Now? buggered out.
It was fine through Djam Karet - Feast of Ashes and it came back as soon as Eric Johnson - Pavillion played.


Perhaps you can look to see if there is anything about this song that would cause this. It happens from time to time with tracks here; maybe there is some common thread/issue.

I have no idea how I missed this one the first time around. I've popped it on the queue and will see if it shows itself.

Sorry for the delay, Vax. I blame Cingular, the fuckers.

Roger -Dot- Lee, Bitter? Me?

OK, fair enough. I'll write it off as a system belch. Might have happened during the just-post-shout where we were having some odd and random unexplained and undefined instances.

Oh, and for the record (this is for everyone, not just 'spaz): if you see some sort of system wonkage, something that just isn't right, or doesn't work properly, let me know ASAP, specifically with (as Vax did) the time it happened, what played that caused it to bhelch, and what cleared it up.

Thanks.

Roger -Dot- Lee, getting caught up here.

The album title is actually "To Our Children's Children's Children" and seems to be running into the limitation of field length for these.

I was unable to locate any song by the artist name of XANG in the database. So either it was a glitch or someone else has already fixed it.

It may well have been me, as I've slept since then.

Roger -Dot- Lee, and speaking of which...

OOOOOOOOOOOh! Well, now you know how much I know about the Moodies.

I'll look into that XANG/Xang thing.

Not an error, but I was able to find the English translation of the one song in Japanese on Rovo's Sai. In the library it's listed as ?? - the translation is "Aurora Borealis."

?? is actually a street translation, meaning, "two question marks".

Example: What up? Dog?

or

Godspeed? You Black Emperor?

[Yesspaz]

Yeah, I read that in Japan when they see the Aurora Borealis on television it's a law that they have to stand up, put their left index finger in their ear, and say "question mark question mark." If they don't the Sumo Samarai Secret Service gives them a little "visit."

Similar to here where when we hear Don Cab we have to put fingers in both ears and shout "Tell me when it's over will you?"

My friend comes into town next week. I ned to ask him....seems a bit primitive.....

Primitive or not, it's fixed. There was a problem in the filename (likely because it was originally written in Japanese, and that tends to confuse the station software more than it's already confused).

Roger -Dot- Lee, are you SURE it's the left index finger and not the right?

[Rick and Roll]

the song by Adrian Belew played this morning.....it shows as being off of "The Lone Rhino"....it's off of "Desire By The Tail".

I think the actual title is "Desire Caught By The Tail", but other than that, he's right...

Glass Harp album is "Hour Glass" not "Hourglass".

Amazon thinks it's Hourglass.

And we all know how much of an authority THEY are on prog.

Fixed.
