I delete the show announcements, but I save your playlists for both shows ...
As the founding Admin for the FB group, PLEASE feel free to post BOTH the announcements and the playlists there, too (there should be a way to automate that to keep it simple for you).
Honestly, just because someone can't be arsed to use their "Delete" button should send you off from here — you're one of the originals.
Bye Bill, I for one will be sorry to see you go. Despite the vast deluge of possible free music on the internet, its increasingly hard to find niche music and your long running Galactic Travels series has been an occasionally stopping point for me. Not always my cup o char, but more than once did I read a name in your playlist that sparked a recollection, that caused an investigation that promoted a sale, or a search.
You have been the brunt of a few dicks over the years and this Paul Plant seems to be a good example. Our blue public version was hit by a particularly nasty one recently, i guess its the spirit of the age really. I for one am veering more and more away from communicating via the web and getting more and more interested in wood-carving. The Internet aint what it was back when Kim started this place, now its the homeland of the stupid, and we are supposed to mix with them and live with them.
I am particularly revolted by this one, as the age of violence and guns and stupidity is engendering this new apathetic and nihilistic norm, where telling someone to die is considered a pretty light or amusing affair, when our light entertainment has "heros" of schoolmaster drug-dealing murderers and policeman serial killers, is there no wonder that the scum that infiltrate our internet with their propaganda of pseudo muslim violence and bigotry resort to the most grotesque mutilation of their victims in full HD, because they now it will be spread via social media. Im honestly beginning to think that the internet, as well as being the most exiting and useful of tools, is also going to become humanities downfall.
Please excuse the rant, everyone... Ive had a bad day, and my kid is asking questions about things he should not know about for at least 5 years...
Good luck and farewell Bill
and why don't you fuck off too Paul...
Mark
PS (Bills post kept for clarity, sorry digesters..)
GALACTIC TRAVELS ON WDIY http://galactictravels.info
Please SHARE so that more people can listen to and support the artists.
Tonight at 11 pm EDT/GMT-4 on Galactic Travels, I'll begin a month-long Special Focus on Dreamwind. The Featured CD at Midnight will be "Best of Early Years." The Special Focus page is at http://soundscapes.us/gt/playlists/2014/focus.html#sep
Tonight, Modulator ESP and onewayness will play a live set on the show.
Galactic Travels is an electronic, ambient, and space music show that airs each Thursday at 11:04 pm on WDIY 88.1 FM, Allentown and Bethlehem, 93.9 FM in Easton and Phillipsburg, 93.7 FM in Fogelsville and Trexlertown, and on the internet at http://wdiy.org.
Sorry, Paul. I will not comply with your request any time soon. It's just not in my plan. Despite being a looper, despite playing music by members of the LD community on Galactic Travels on WDIY-FM (and stream) as well as on Thought Radio and Afterglow on WMUH-FM (and stream), despite the blessing of Kim (R.I.P.), I think I'll just go away and not be such a thorn in your side.
Before I go, I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to people like Mark Francombe, Andy Butler, Tim Mungenast, cpr, and other long-time LD friends who understand the value of inclusiveness and civility. Truth be known, I have become a lurker on mailing lists because all my activity is on social networks.
For those of you who can't be arsed to press delete twice a week without popping a vein, you may now breathe easier because you may now burn 8 fewer calories per week. That will give you enough time to eat four extra potato chips as you sit on your couch. You may now go and find something else that will upset you. I have full confidence that it won't take you very long.
