Just wanted to drop by and say something cause I know at least a couple of people were expecting me in the Discord today.

These past three days have been non-stop work for me (on top of my day job. edit: Not to mention all the time it took to get the website & station up and running). I appreciate all your song submissions and applications. They just keep coming which shows me that there’s a real interest in keeping this thing going. But it’s easy for me to get burnt out quick, especially since I have ADHD.

So today is a mental break for me. Tomorrow I will be back at it, processing more tunes and getting all the DJs who signed up on the airwaves ASAP, so that you’re not stuck listening to the same songs every single day. Also planning on making some proper bumpers to replace the generic placeholders that just say “this is Radio Lemmy” every 4 songs or so. A few people have offered to make some; can’t wait to hear them.

Also, themed days are in the works, i.e. dedicated days where only one genre is played for the day. I’m thinking we’d do this twice a week, maybe 3 times. Of course DJs can still play whatever they want on those days; this will just be for the Auto DJ that picks songs when no one’s connected. I figure this will help add some consistency since right now everything from every genre is just playing on shuffle.

And that’s just the stuff that I’m ready to announce. Big things are planed for the station. Thanks for your support; stay tuned!

    Good for you! Enjoy the time off!

    I started listening while I’m at work the other day. I really enjoy the randomness. I got Tupac and Frank Sinatra within 5 minutes of each other! Love it! Thank you!

    This project currently has a bus number of one, so definitely do whatever it takes to avoid burnout!

    Also, please can someone remake the old Winamp sting - Radio Lemmy (lemmy) It really whips the lemming’s ass
