2. Fields Of The Nephilim - Intro (The Harmonica Man) (2:00)
3. Fields of the Nephilim - Endemonida (7:06)

I'm not sure, but it looks as though Shoutcast is cutting out the first word in the song title. weird. Still, we're off and darkness abounds.

Coolness, Zach!

We don't have a radio notification on the front page right column no more. :(

Hey crush! If you're listening, then the server info says that you're not, which is a PITA. Wouldn't suprise me, as the songs titles are off. Maybe seanyboy's tweaking borked the connection? I dunno, but the radio status isn't on the front page any more.
Still. The Ladytron track I just grabbed from the usenet and it seemed appropriate and the Nephilim track is on heavy rotation on the audio player.
Also, mega bonus points for naming the girls in the pic, which I'm inordinately happy with.

Another update.
13. Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch (4:38)
14. Boom Boom Satellites - What Goes Round Comes Around (4:28) Bike boy, pocket boy / Interstellar superjet / Boom boom this is what you get
ont Line Assembly - Liquid Separation (5:05)
16. Fields of the Nephilim - one more nightmare (5:20)
17. My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult - You want danger huh? (0:03)
18. My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult - Delicate Terror (5:37)

bah! when I click the "listen" link I get an error message.

Is there a URL I can type into winamp?

posted by small_ruminant 10 October | 23:09

found it: http://kara.fast-serv.com:9320

Hey, can someone tell me if the first name in the song is appearing?
Example: Boom Boom Satellites - What Goes Round Comes Around
is displaying as
Boom Satellites - What Goes Round Comes Around

I'm pretty sure it's not my settings, tho I did have to reinstall the Shoutcast plugin.

they aren't switchblade symphony are they? way young?

posted by small_ruminant 10 October | 23:13

yup- it's showing up

posted by small_ruminant 10 October | 23:14

Oh, good, thanks s_r.
Nope - X-Mal are from Germany, Switchblade's British. Same era though.

posted by Zack_Replica 10 October | 23:16

It showed up OK here.

posted by arse_hat 10 October | 23:17

Switchblade was from Santa Rosa,CA or its environs which is the only reason I know them.

posted by small_ruminant 10 October | 23:18

I just noticed that the left side link to the radio page is gone too.

posted by arse_hat 10 October | 23:20

oops!
Don't know why I thought they were Brits...

Hmm. I couldn't tell, as the Windows media player isn't updating titles. Maybe it's just the Admin site that's screwed.

preview: Yip, she's gone. I'm thinking after the headaches that seanyboy was having with the site, he reverted to an earlier version, updated it and it didn't have those links on it. Maybe.
I also have to find more Stun.

posted by Zack_Replica 10 October | 23:24

this one only shows part of the name

Just "on Stun" instead of Children on Stun

posted by small_ruminant 10 October | 23:24

I don't think I've heard of X-Mal before.

posted by small_ruminant 10 October | 23:25

Let me see what I can do about that... give me 10 min.

posted by Zack_Replica 10 October | 23:29

Oh, and an update.

19. X-Mal Deutschland - Augen-Blick (3:50)
20. Sinistar - Beware coward (0:01)
21. Sinistar - I Am Sinistar (0:02) You should beware - Sinistar has a philosophy.
22. Apoptygma Berzerk - Soultaker (6:58)
23. Children on Stun - cats or devils eyes (rosetta stone mix) (4:16)
24. The Young Gods - Strangel (3:07)
25. Portion Control - Rogue (4:34) Big in the 80's, this is from the new album which I'd recommend.

posted by Zack_Replica 10 October | 23:33

I was! but then I got kicked and now I get 404
The requested URL /redirector/redirect_old_station_page was not found on this server.

X-Mal Deutchland's 1984 album 'Tocsin', on the 4AD label.

posted by Zack_Replica 10 October | 23:43

crush - whatever player you're using should be able to open a URL - use this http://kara.fast-serv.com:9320

posted by Zack_Replica 10 October | 23:44

I love SoM. First and Last and Always in particular.

posted by small_ruminant 10 October | 23:52

Yeah, they're really good. I've found most of the early stuff suffers from underproduction so F&L&A is pretty stellar.
Winding down, 2 songs left after The Cure but one's a really long one.

posted by Zack_Replica 11 October | 00:00

I have to sleep but...what's next?

posted by small_ruminant 11 October | 00:03

I was also getting 404'ed earlier

... and then I got sucked into yet another Palingate thread over on MeFi. I desperately needed this to clean all the ick off me.

what a fucked up week. thanks Z_R, this m00sic is great.

posted by lonefrontranger 11 October | 00:04

um, unless people want more. I might be able to fit more in after gy!be, which is 16+ min. probably not tho.

also, thanks lfr!

posted by Zack_Replica 11 October | 00:06

Ok now I am getting bad info "You Black Emperor! - The Dead Flag"

posted by arse_hat 11 October | 00:06

posted by lonefrontranger 11 October | 00:11

final.

26. VNV Nation - Nemesis (4:30)
27. The Young Gods - Did You Miss Me (3:21)
28. The Electric Hellfire Club - Night Of The Buck Knives (Altamont Mix) (8:34)
29. The Sisters Of Mercy - Heartland (4:25)

I'll email seanyboy, see if that tracklisting display error is indicative of a larger problem, or what.
Thanks for listening everyone, and be sure to check out the Tocsin link above for more goodness.

nite. thanks.

posted by arse_hat 11 October | 00:24

np, a_h!

Also: fans of the Gothic persuasion. I'm going to be doing a huge Goth show (like 3+ hours) on the 31st for those not braving the drunks in the pubs. Well, unless I get asked out, which is unlikely. I'll probably do a post on the 27th to remind everyone.

(also: damn, i'm really liking this ladytron song, so i thought i'd share.)

I think they were from San Francisco.

A friend and I went to one of their shows (1998, they opened for Front Line Assembly and it was pretty fantastic) and Tina Root gushed about the ballroom dress my friend was wearing. I wish they hadn't broken up :-/
