Errors / Typos in the playlist

Examples include Mike Oldfield's "No Mans Land" as opposed to "No Man's Land" and Mogwai's "Boring Machines Disturbs Sleep" - many others.

Exactly. That's why I don't jump up and immediately fix everything that gets pointed out. Just because it LOOKS wrong doesn't mean that this isn't the actual name of the song in question.

Oh, and Spaz: who's that in your avatar?

Fixed.

Roger -Dot- Lee, catching them all at one time.

Hi,

I don't need "googling" because I 've got both the good old vinyl and the remastered cd.
Actually , my job needs often carefull checks before taking a decision or assessing a situation. So I do the same each time I send AM a so-called "error".
To end the discussion [ refer to your two long digressions], I dare to say that I find your 'wise-guy- side ' quite irritating.
No hard feelings !

before my internet cuts out, I'll take this one. King's X (center -Ty Tabor, left - Doug Pinnick, and right - Jerry Gaskill), with the ubiquitous Paul Shaffer, who never met a photo op he didn't like...

By the way, does Return of the Giant Hogweed still have three e's on the playlist? (I think there's a bunch more that never got corrected due to lack of time and follow-up).

I'll take your sentiments under advisement and give them the sincere consideration they so richly deserve.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a website to build.

Damn I lost my whole post cause my net keeps failing..ok again..

Looks like Hogweed is completely missing from the playlist!

A while back I mentioned "Home By The Sea" and "Second Home By the Sea" should be put together as one tune...neither works separately. This may have been part of the "splitting of songs" thread...in any event, it was never done.

There's a few more I know were never done, so i have a suggestion.

Why not make a new section in the forums for just corrections? Then have a separate thread for each correction. In that manner, we can have closure on each request. Also, the requests can be organized such that Dot can handle them. There's a lot of them, and he is mega-busy. Even so, there should be a mechanism to fix them. We all get off on tangents and miss the original rq's... and this thread is too damn big!

What do you all think?

I know. I've been going through the list and correcting them as time allows. However, as Rick suggests below, I just don't have the time that I'd like to dedicate to this project. Thus...

And for everyone's information, the reason I can't do them all at once is because, whenever someone's diddling with the station, rebuffering happens all over the place. So I try to schedule it for whenever things are not all hectic and stuff. Just an FYI on that one.

What, it's ONLY 11 pages!

(if you happen to have 100 posts per page like I do. It's probably closer to 30 pages with the default setting).

By George, I think you're on to something. As a matter of fact, I *REALLY* like that idea. All we have to do is get Steady Stan to check in and start it (just to keep things consistent. )

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea. The only problem I can think of off hand is that I'd have to check the forum (as opposed to having an email sent to me every time someone spots one)...

Hrm. Maybe a PM would be in order if your RQ goes un-fixed or un-commented-on for a certain period of time.

I'll get on making the forum area right now.

Roger -Dot- Lee, Darned good idea there, Rick.

[Rick and Roll]

Getting Steady to start it may be tough...he's not around...

Maybe remove the Anniversary Forum to make room, and make that Rickter thread are a bit taller (don't push your luck there Rick)...

Been there, done that, on both.

The only differences are:

1. It's under Station News instead of on its own and
2. I won't need an email from anyone that posts, since I now have it set up to email both myself AND Jim for when a post gets inserted. That way we can both keep an eye on things within our sphere of influence.

That's what I'm hoping.

Remember, folks: New thread for every song or issue. I won't be checking old threads. Including ones I started.

The report of my disappearance was an exaggeration... Now what exactly what do you want me to do?

Let me have your current email and teach me how to putt.

That's MY suggestion!

Missed by about 12 hours, Stan.

I was hoping you'd put in the first thread in the new "Corrections to the Playlist" forum. It just didn't seem right having someone else get the first post in the forum that's a direct offshoot of your thread by that same name.

Alas...

Roger -Dot- Lee, an opportunity lost is easily overcome with a little bit of database magic...

[mossy]

We want you to resume theme meistering and being a general pest in black.

Good to see you stan..been way too long.

Hugs to Artemis...been too long for her too.

Get theming again Stan and don't be a stranger. You too Artemis.
