8. Patsy Cline - Hiding Out
9. Howie Day - Collide
10. Marty Robbins - Unchained Melody


The lowest rated tracks will be the ones rotated out when we add new music to the playlist.

Agree or disagree that these should be the highest or lowest rated tracks?  Tune in and vote while listening for your favorite (or least favorite) songs on BBM Radio.  Keep voting even if you have already voted 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' already!  The reports we get are on a thirty-day rotation, so if you voted for a track thirty days ago, your vote is no longer valid.  Also, tastes change.  A track you may not have liked a few weeks ago, may have grown on you by now.  It could work the other way too.  Maybe you're sick of hearing a particular track...  Regardless, even if you've already voted for a track, if you can, vote again as often as you can when listening to the station!

Thank you for listening to the station!   :D

1. Green Day - Blvd of Broken Dreams

(Today is Phil is Snarky Day... just doing some Don Rickles with some of this....)

When I think of the rural mountain west, I think of Green Day.   ::)

Quote
4. Heather Nova - All I Need

This track has been around a long time, hasn't it?  We should probably kill it off.

Quote
5. Uncle Kracker - Follow Me

We have a song from an artist named Uncle Kracker on BBM Radio?  :)

Quote
9. Howie Day - Collide

Another oldie that can probably be dropped.  I am going to have some new songs from the country library I am reviewing right now which perhaps can replace some of these.

Quote
10. Marty Robbins - Unchained Melody

Nothing against Marty, but I hate Unchained Melody.  It just irks me and I am not sure why. 

Nice to see despite all of the challenges, we managed a 1% uptick.  I wonder if that, in part, comes from the special events programming we've done more of recently.

Does it make any difference if we are logged in when we vote or not? Which is better for your stats?

I think you need to be logged in to start up the player.  So if the player's going, I think you've already logged in.

Thank you for voting!  :D

I'm going to do a big playlist overhaul next week!

Actually that's not true.  You don't have to be logged into Live 365 to listen, but you do need to be in order to rate the station or vote on tracks.

I learn something new everyday...  :D


So, everytime I've not been logged in, and tried to lauch the player (by clicking the yellow play button), it prompts me to log in or register.  How would one get around that in order to get the player working without logging in?

I don't know.  This opens a myriad of questions.  See my edited post above!

I only know that if I clear out my cache, I can still click on the listen button and listen, evn though I am not logged on.

Ok that's interesting.  I just tried launching the player without being logged in, and it started right up.  It didn't connect though, because I'm at work.  But I didn't get the "Sign In or Register" page like I've gotten in the past....

That might be why your stats dropped so much

Scott, let's do a test to see if it logs.  Check your PM's for my phone number to call me.

Ok we tested it and you do not have to be logged in to listen.  And Live365 still registers and counts the stream as far as # of listeners ratings go.

That was very scientific with a proper test! I approve! Basically I will keep voting whenever I can  :) 

The voting process can be quite illuminating, as sometimes I'm poised to strike the nay straight away but then I pause cos I know the song's been put on for a reason so I pause to re-evaluate, & while I rarely change from a nay to a yay I might change from a nay to neutral.  Normally anything too "country" in style I'd be turned right off but in this format they get a fairer hearing from me.  I still don't think I'll be rushing out to buy a box set of country music cds this weekend though !

Here are the lyrics again for your objective review:

You don't know how you met me
You don't know why, you cant turn around and say good-bye
All you know is when im with you I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singing....

Follow me
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

And I worry 'bout the ring you wear
Cause as long as no one knows
That nobody can care
Your fellin guilty
And I'm well aware
But you don't look ashamed
And baby I'm not scared
Im singin...

Follow me
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

Solo

Won't give you money
I can't give you the sky
It better off if you don't ask why
I'm not the reason that you go stranded
We'll be alright if you don't ask me to stay

Follow me
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

You don't know how you met me
You don't know why, you cant turn around and say good-bye
All you know is when im with you I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singing....

Follow me
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

Follow me
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

Follow me
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me
