music of the 80s From now until someone else wants the radio. Nobody was broadcasting and I thought what the heck.

Oh, dear.

No jon. It is stuff like Cyndi Lauper, Wham!, Mary Jane Girls, etc...

Only the poppiest, most radio-friendly stuff, in fact.

Actually I am slipping one or two "almost 80s" songs in there too, to be honest. Still. Poppy and radio friendly. Suffer!

I'm cleaning my bedroom while listening to the m00sic but I am on IRC so if someone wants to use the radio, just come along and say something. I might not see it for ten minutes or something, but I will see it eventually.

Cyndi was OK, but as for the rest of it, I'm going to have to shoot you. Nothing personal.

Holy crap - is the radio lagging and skipping? A lot?

You're playing Squeeze! I loves it.

it is not my player but apparently it is causing problems for some people. i have no idea why. nothing running in the background to slow down my connection. any ideas?

No, but dodgy tweaked something when this was a problem once before. Thanks for the music - I enjoyed it!

You're still skipping... and during "Little Red Corvette," too! *sobs*

I quit. I was listening on another instance of winamp and I did everything I could at my end but the skipping seemed to be getting worse and worse instead of better. *shrugs*
