People Under The Stairs - Gamin On Ya

alex on November 04 2008

Oh lookie here, its a new version of left as rain. It was severely difficult to let go of the old playlist, 408 songs is a lot of entries shared with you folks. Alas we have to look forward not behind, and what a glorious day to see some change to this site. Keyboard features are still in place, right arrow changes song, space bar pauses, you have to click anywhere on the site for the key listeners to be active. Added automatic scrolling so you'll never be lost in the playlist. Still working on mousewheel,...eventually my friends. Come to duck duck on saturday and party with chris and i!

Dark Captian Light Captain - Jealous Enemies

alex on November 03 2008

almost... done... Ill prob put up new LAR tomorrow night, so expect a day or two of downtime while I switch servers and make sure everything works cool. I spent the day scripting a cool new feature which tracks which entry youre listening to and automatically scrolls to it, so you wont have problems finding what song youre listening to anymore. Still no mouse wheel support, eventually that will come but its not native to flash on mac and requires uber javascript. Also were DJing duck duck again this Saturday, always a fun time had by all. These gigs pay for enormous hosting fees/booze so come support us, our bad habits, and the site.

Why is it there are certain places on this great planet that just ooze musical talent. Must be something in the water. Austin is one of those hubs that consistently produce great tunes. I love this album art too, super great.

Mount Eerie - Voice In Headphones

alex on October 29 2008

boom, 400 songs, enjoy it while it lasts cause the new version is going to be a fresh playlist. This is happening to make things easier on me and my friendly hosting company who has shut this site off twice this month. In with the new out with the old my friends. I heard this track this morning while browsing albums, seemed absolutely perfect for the NY folks enduring this cold windy rainy post apocalyptic day.
