FYI, folks. If you use Safari as your browser, clicking through the above crashes your browser and locks you up. If by chance you use web applications in your normal course of business and and are in the middle of things, you get totally hosed because all of your browser windows are affected. Not good.

It's all part of that great Canadian Conspiracy to destroy America, one guitarist at a time.

Well, our "leaders" are planning to destroy the only functional part of the Canadian health care system...

Now, I've heard EVERYTHING, lol.

If what you say is legit SB, please PM me with the details so I can troubleshoot the problem... This is the first I hear about it, though to be honest there hasn't been much MAC testing... usually just IE and FF. I did look at the site last night however (at the studio where I work...) using a MAC G5 and didn't have any problems whatsoever.

If there is a conspiracy here... I don't think it's being perpetrated by the Canadians...

EXCUSE ME??? If what I say is legit? It was Safari 4.0.5 running on Windows Vista. Same setup as I'm using to write this. Now go fuck yourself.

When I was first married, my wife had an old Ford Maverick. Cool car with the three-on-the-tree...

Stonebobbo... the word legit was used in place of 'verifiable' (as in testing...) and I meant ABSOLUTELY no disrespect by it!!

Please read your PM's and dial back on the hostility. It appears this situation is needlessly out of control...

I have it going through Shoutcast with Safari 4.05. Sounds great, some really interesting song choices.

Oh My G_d, mhaapaa... THANK YOU!!

You have no idea how much it means to me, to FINALLY have someone say ANYTHING (good, bad or otherwise...) about RADIO!!

There are some really good DJ's at the station (I don't include myself in that number, lol), but Malcolm, John Richards, Peter and GJ (the DJ) are universally acknowledged as being very good at what they do and they all have impeccable taste.

To be perfectly honest I never even considered Safari when testing the site, but when I looked at the server's stats, I see Safari users make up 10% of the audience... so I will definitely take them into consideration in the future!! EVERY listener is IMPORTANT!!

Thanks for the positive input... Very much appreciated.

I really like prog as background music while I'm working (I know I'm a freak) so I've tried a lot of the internet stations as well as pandora and slacker.com, and this is as good as any of them. Will give it a few days and see how much repetition there is. That's what has made me stop most of them, a fairly limited play list.

Right now, we are on the hunt for presenters. At times in the past we have had up to 12 on the roster. Right now we have 5-6, most doing 2-3 hour shows. So a 12-15 hour rotation.

If listening casually over the course of the week, it takes a while to come back to your entry point.

If prog is your thing (and I have to confess, that is my genre as well...), check out Gerrit's SYMFOMANIA. It is one of the top rated prog shows in the WORLD (according to stats from it's original broadcaster Holland's RADIO SEAGULL).

Gerrit is a good friend and is also the bass player for Dutch recording artists, prog band SILHOUETTE... an excellent listening choice!!

We all play lots of prog though, so it should appeal to that end of the spectrum...

I thought this was a guitar forum?
Here's a radio forum.

I think you'll find most of the presenters on AMC are serious lovers of all things 'guitar', so that is the crossover point, ie. you'll hear lots of really good guitars played on there.

I should have made that more clear, sorry about that...

Thanks for the radio link... will check it out.

No... it was not considered a chick mag back then either...
My wife has one just like that in the garage- but it will take more than a push start to get it going since I've neglected it. To stick with the topic, it's an AMC product and has a radio but it's not working. :)

While in high school, we used one of these to transport the foam landing pad from the equipment shed to the pole vault box. We had to push start it most of time. I saw another one just like this one, same color scheme, at a hot rod show in Mesquite, NV while on a bike trip. It had a blown 502ci RAT motor and its rear tires were a bit larger. I'll bet that one ran strong, if not out of control.

I took my first driving test in a Matador. The radio had been ripped out several years prior.

Nothing, what's a matador with you?

It's a car

Back in the early 70's, I was serving in the National Guard with a bunch of cops from the Los Angeles Police Department. They were all dumbfounded when the city purchased AMC Matadors for their patrol cars, thousands of them. With the big engine and HD handling upgrades, they weren't bad running cars. Nevertheless, in a short time, they fell apart and the City went back to Ford and Mopar.

Wow, its seems like a lot of Ovation players also owned AMC models as their first cars.

My first car was a 73 Gremlin. I loved that car. My wife hated it! I could cram an amazing amount of musical gear into that car.
