  Can the moderator of this group delete the NWO/conspiracy theoryJudenhass journal entry? It is stupid and unrelated to NYRB.

  How come no one visits us? Excuse me, group leader, start a discussion or something. And shouldn't there be a link to the nyrb blog up there? Don't be shy.

  we are so much more tasteful than just about every other group out there—clearly!

  Wow, a group where the top artist isn't Radiohead. Not that I don't like Radiohead. You know what I mean. Right?

  Hi. Some of my favorite hobbies are researching old customs and radio theater, so of course I'm intrigued with all of the developments here. I've started a weekly podcast that revisits old stories and such--but it remains to be seen how the lay public will find it. My internet connection consists of eighteen tin cans, ever-malleable gold wire, and the innards of a blender.

  Welcome new members! Thanks for joining up. I look forward to listening to the new, improved radio station.

  Do any of y'all listen to music while you read (I don't, but work with me here). What would be your dream combos? Is it too obvious to suggest Fats Domino/Dave Bartholomew for A Confederacy of Dunces as an example?

  An Oakley Hall song popped up when I was listening to the nyrb radio station earlier in the week. Pulled some tracks from their site and elsewhere. I like.

  Aha! At least now I feel a little less like the odd man out--ie, there are 10 members of the group who never listen to Radiohead, 11 who dig not on LCD, a sad, misguided dozen who have crossed Gainsbourg off of their playlist, etc.

  I think numbers in the top artists list refers to how many people listen to a given artist, not how many times that artist has been listened to. Ah!

  Interesting. Looks like my ADD-fueled listening (a song or two from many different artists) is leaving me somewhat underrepresented in the Top Artist list, and collecting lots of single plays down there at the bottom of Top Tracks section. I'll have to listen to our Group Radio station to see how it all pans out (not right now, though: I'm busy listening to the Wild Magnolias station!).

  Looks like our group's 'Top Artists' and 'Top Tracks' are based on plays off the Group Radio station. I don't think this page tallies our individual plays, though that's what the radio station must source.

  I am sort of curious about the math side of the Radio Station (sort of in that I don't really have much of a head for math. Or much else). Do you think each of the 13 members is equally represented (ie, one song per member, in rotation)? Do more frequent listeners a greater share of songs? If I listen to no one but John Zorn today, for instance, will he instantly become a Top Artist? Hmm.

  To answer the questions below: I don't think you can input any songs into the station but I do think the station picks up streamable (not every single song you play is available for streaming) songs that members play, mix them all up in a cauldron and the result is the station. But I don't know much more than that.

  If I may ask a stupid question: do all of the tracks I've scrobbled get added somehow to the well from which NYRC's radio station draws?

  Hey sarajill, since you're making musical connections for our group, uhm, Okkervil River, no?
