BANDS & MUSICIANS: Get on the WICKEDTICKLE RADIO Playlist!

[Doc]

OK, you've prolly noticed I took the player off the front page and put a nice large button over there >>> in the menu.
Now, if you click that, it should launch the player, the way it's been for the last little while.

BUT..

The player is about to get an overhaul... a whole new look, a MUCH improved (and much smaller) popup window, and it shuffles the way you expect a media player to.
Here's a preview, in a normal window (can't post the javascript in a forum post, it breaks):

New Player (demo mode-only plays 10 seconds of each song for now)

[Tom]

Cool man 

[Sharon]

I like the button move to the right.  The front page was getting a bit busy for the first time tickler.

[Doc]

Yeah, we realized a while back it was too cluttered, and started working on a way to get rid of the left side entirely.
We'll be debuting the new RFWT player sometime this week, soon as I get all the kinks worked out. Then the popup won't take up an entire page either.

[Scotty Ray]

Are there any other steps to getting on the playlist?  I sent Doc a PM, with a link to an MP3 file, from my band 9volttrigger, in hopes we would be put on the playlist.  Its been 3 days now, and I've heard nothing in return.  If there are some steps I'm missing, could someone please inform me.

Thanks!

From the thread on the subject:

"I will be updating the playlist over each weekend, starting March '07.
I'll collect new songs for a week, then post all of them at once by Monday morning. "


I got your message Thursday evening. It was sent at 5pm Thursday, less than 48 hours ago. 

WT is done in my spare time, for free, and I get to things as I can get to them.
I'll get it posted this weekend, probably today. Right now I have my son's fencing lesson to get him to.

[Scotty Ray]

Sorry if I offended.  I should read better.  And I suck at keeping track of time.

Again, sorry if I came across as chewing your ass, or something.

Thanks!

[Doc]

Hey Scotty, got you guys' music up, sounds great! 


We've got a great list of artists and songs now, let's get it growing!
If you know a band who doesn't have their stuff on RadioFreeWT, tell 'em to get their hineys into the rotation! 

Doc 

[Scotty Ray]

Thanks alot, bro!

[DeltaBlues]

May I add one of my songs.  it is here

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pageartist.cfm?bandID=671415

[Doc]

Whoops! Not sure how I missed this one all this time! Next time, kick me in the head or PM me or something if I don't respond. 

I tried to get to the songs so I could put it up, but Soundclick doesn't allow me to download the song, only play it through their player, so i can't use it from there.
Do you have it in MP3 or any digital format? If so, email me the songs or a link to them and I'll get 'em up: Doc@wickedtickle.com

In the upgraded site, which should launch in a week or two, you'll be able to upload songs to your profile and Guide listings yourself. 

[Doc]

Sorry it took so long, but I got 9 new songs added from South of Heaven and Martyr of the Month...check 'em out! Click the player on the top-right side of the site!

This is now a 'living document" of instructions, so it will be updated as things change to reflect what's current.

Well, we've finally rolled out the all-new 'Radio FreeWT' music player! 
                     
             All we need now, is YOU! 

Here's how you get on the playlist:
Post (reply to this thread), PM, or email us links to your original music, and we'll do the rest!
Really!

As long as your file link ends in ".mp3", all is well. If not, talk to us and we'll see what we can do. If your songs live on a server anywhere on the internet, and can be linked to directly, then we can put you on the playlist. If not, WT can host your mp3 files on our servers for free (thanks to generous donations from our members - THANKS folks!!) We can afford to host maybe 2-3 songs per artist, for starters, assuming everyone doesn't rush us at once. We promise we'll do everything we can to accommodate everyone's situation.

Currently we can only support mp3 files (and you have to own the rights), but if you have them in any audio format I can convert them for you.

UPDATE: I will be updating the playlist over each weekend, starting March '07.
I'll collect new songs for a week, then post all of them at once by Monday morning.
 

NOTE: I haven't been able to find a way to 'pull' songs from MySpace yet, the best we can do is download them and host them on WT, IF you have permissions set to allow downloads.

Alternately (to save WT some cash), you could sign up for free file hosting, you can find free MP3 hosts with Google.
Create a free account, upload your mp3s, and send us the links to 'em. It's that easy.

We want this site to really grab the attention of the world and show it that Shreveport and the ArkLaTex really DOES Rock!
So send us your music, and let's get this show on the road!     


PS: We're not going to discriminate - any art that can be put in digital format will be considered:
spoken word poetry, interviews....all that is relevant, local and creative. 

I could host a few mp3 at my site if members need a place to put them for free.
just E-Mail Me At charles@ccstunes.com
and we can work it out.

[Doc]

I guess I should update the site more often, things have changed since I wrote that. Hosting is no longer the big hurdle it was back then.
I stepped up to my own servers and now I gots lots of room. 

But thanks for the generous offer! 

[JTC]

Sorry it took so long, Casey, we got busy with the trip and playing catch-up afterwards. Got so busy I plain forgot. 

[Doc]

Hey Casey, I really like "My Indian"!   

[Doc]

Updated the original post, GREATLY shortened it and added a few things.


But the REAL changes will be starting over the summer....new partnerships are opening new doors....  

I would strongly suggest that everyone make sure that we have their latest music on the playlist!
Things are happening fast and people are looking and listening as I type this!

[tag]

  My latest CD is on myspace.com/taggravesband. It is called "One More Shot" I wrote it all!! I am wanting to come play at home, I need players or a band that needs a guitar player!!!

[Doc]

Hey folks!

I just added 5 new songs from the Back Porch Boogie Band.  If you like country music, the Eagles and John Fogerty, you'll love these guys!
According to their press kit, George Jones does, and if I read this right, "The Timing Ain't Right" achieved #7 on Indie-Music.com's charts. 
Check 'em out: http://www.wickedtickle.com/radio/wicked_tickle_radio_player.html
