While I didn't have the thread as an outlet, I will accept your post!
Sadly I can't take on "The Answer" as it's a remix of a commercial song (in this case a track from one of Bran Van 3000's studio albums), but I will take on that Afterburner track. Thank you very much!

Okay, so I did the announcement on tonight's show. I will bring it here.

Next week's Sega Saturn special will be pre-recorded.

I stated my reasons why - I am to go to the hospital next Thursday for a minor operation. Even if I make it home in time, it is highly likely that I will be unable to put on a live show. But I still hold this in high regard, and will keep doing my best for the station.

On a more positive note, the theme discussion brought it down to three workable choices which could potentially be used as a mid-Summer theme week and bringing one of them originally planned there forward. I shall bring in the poll over here -

This poll will run over the space of 2 weeks, with the result to be stated during Episode 19. Let's see how this one goes!

Doubling up my own post, but I'm back from the hospital and am steadily on the mend. It's Saturday night, my mobility, my appetite, and - more importantly - my voice are coming back, and I am most likely to be taking this Friday's 'DJ Mixer Drive' LIVE.

That said, I am closing the poll in the previous post on Friday night itself and will state the result during the live show. If you didn't chip in yet, now's your chance!

Whichever is the result, there is one definite thing to come out of it - Episode 21 (May 31st) is 80s Night! I originally planned this theme for late July, but given how the voteable themes relate to that time of year as well, it makes perfect sense to move it forward. Hope you'll be ready to get your retro groove on when the date arrives! ;)

Hi, Rexy, hope you're feeling better after your op!

Just wanted to say iTunes and Downcast are having problems grabbing Mixer Drive #17. All other eps are fine at the mo. I'm still behind way back in time in the March episodes, though :D

Weird thing I found recently using the SoundCloud iPhone app for the first time... I typed in "Rexy" to see if any of your music was on there, thinking Rexy is a pretty unique name, and about eleventy blammazillion Rexy's popped up! And none of them seemed to be you! :D So much for SoundCloud search... :rolleyes:

Haha, if I ever use Soundcloud odds are I'd use 'freqrexy' for that; however I don't have one at this moment in time xD
And yes, I'm also used to the idea of Rexy being a 'common' web nick. Good thing my alts are anything other than that!

As for iTunes being borked again, I'll pass the word onto the rest of the staff - thanks for spotting it, we'll get that resolved as quickly as possible.

Another month gone. Let's go through a reminder of this month's outlook.

There is currently only one theme week planned for this month, and boy is it a mammoth one - so much that Episode 24 will be in two parts!

Episode 24-1 (21 June 2013)
is there to mark the start of Sonic's 22nd Birthday Weekend! Considering how much of the setlist is usually Sonic-related anyway, you guys have got one heck of a mark to go with this one filling up the entire setlist with Sonic remixes this time! :P

While that one will be primarily your input in regards to song picks, Episode 24-2 (23 June 2013) - which is taking place during the Sonic Fan Music Festival - will be all of my picks, highlighting Sonic's 22 year history with a variety of remix highlights from past to present.

In both cases, they will be strictly fan remixes only, so remixes from artists like Jun Senoue and Richard Jacques are out of the window (though indie game artists like Falk are okay as long as the remixes they did aren't part of any of their fangame scores).

Whichever is the case, it's chilli dogs all around starting from June 21! :)

Ooh, sounds "freaky"! Could get the wrong sort of crowd with a name that combines "freak" and a word that rhymes with sexy :p

Any update on episode 17? Downcast on my iPhone has this annoying little badge that says "1" because it knows there should be a podcast there, but it can't download it! iTunes still can't grab it, either, yet I managed to get episodes 18-20. Which is weird! :wet:

Oh yeah, you're right! I had to delete the previous episode 17 entry in iTunes and Downcast, rescanned and it found two episode 17s and two episode 18s, 19s and 20s. So I guess one is borked and the other works? I still don't get what's going on, as iTunes and Downcast got 18-20 first time, with no hitches... At any rate, I am now a happy camper gettin' my jams in with ep 17 :D Thanks, and keep up the awesome show quality!

Yeah the old ones no longer work.
You have to rescan them.
Apologies for the inconvenience
