<p>Just wanted to update everyone on the popup players. On the Projam Theme the links are done. On your song page, just click the <em>i </em>and you will see the 4 boxes. The first 2 I think I am going to remove. Those use the listeners player of choice. The bottom two will be the HTML or BBCode links for forums that do not allow HTML. I would always suggest using the HTML link if possible. Here is an example using Chrickon&#39;s song. I actually sent an email to Michael Molenda from Guitar Player Magazine to listen to this tune for his article.</p><p> <a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://imusicscene.com/index.php?t=audio_player&band_id=29&song_id=4668','TestWindow','width=350,top=0,left=0,resizable,scrollbars,height=350'); return false;">Energy - for Rob</a>. </p><p>The Sage and Cobalt themes have the links as well but I am going to play with them a bit more since I do not like how they are setup yet. </p><p>I should have new Flash Players this week so the iPod player will be replaced a nicer one with links to the site and your artist page. </p><p>Hope you guys like this feature! </p><p>Dazed</p>

This new collab with Rapster has a bit of history to it. I've set it out in the info section if you're interested in reading it. It's based on a short "news article" I found in a Murdoch rag in the mid 70s. I part finished writing it, then abandoned it as it was appearing likely that it would take about 10 minutes to complete the story.

Pulled it out of the drawer last year and came up with the idea to add a rap section to speed the storytelling up a bit. Rapster (Joey) agreed to join in and to do the rap sections, adding some additional words of his own.

The track was mastered by Di Carlo who did another fantastic job on this. This is the third track that Di has mastered for me and his work has on each occasion been top-rate. Not only is his work of a high standard, but his prices are very, very competitive. Thanks again, Di. It won't be the last time I use you, bro.

Thanks, Joey for being involved in this and for waiting patiently (ok, maybe at times not all that patiently) for me to post it.

Hope you enjoy it.

<p>Well the last time we did the Same Song Title Madness. This time I thought we wold try something different. </p><p>Carol Douglas posted in the <a href="/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&amp;t=11812">Forum</a> about someone working on some lyrics she posted. I thought it might be fun to have everyone work with them and see what kind of songs we could come up with. So instead of the Same Song Title Madness, we have the Same Lyric Title Madness. As always, vocals are not required but try and make the lyrics work with the song. If you are not a singer, maybe someone will want to add vocals on your tune later! </p><p>Let&#39;s put a due date on here of May 10th but please post the songs when you are finished!</p><p>Dazed&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Ok, so i was messing around for a couple of hours and came up with this piece. Nothing serious just having some fun playing and wanted to share with my friends. Definately needs a good mix so go easy on me.... spent an entire 2 hours on it....lol. Oh, one more thing, this 70 plus track maniac only used a grand total of 7 tracks. Better go to bed before I get any more bright ideas...hehe.

We go LIVE from 8PM GMT thats 3PM EST

Tonight is the last show in the flat but thats not going to change my plans for tonights show.

First we are going to be playing the current submissions for SONG OF THE YEAR: http://www.nexusradio.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?id=996

Currently in SOTY 2008 we have tracks from: Piano Forte, Corn and Beans, Psybot, Rapster + TLT50, Joel Irwin, Eternal Hobo, Vagrance, Ian Rushton, Bri-an, KOR, RSCain, Nigel Potter, Bill Wilcosky, That Never Was, The Empires, Smurf Beatz, Karco and Pulsate.

If you haven't yet submitted your track them plaese send an email to: competitions@nexusradio.co.uk with you TRACK, and in the main body of the email include: "GENRE" "ARTIST NAME" and "TUNE TITLE" - These are required. You may need to VERIFY your email address with SPAMARREST, its a spam filter I use on the web thats amazing, when some one emails me who isn't in my contact/allowed list and email gets sent back to them they have to click a link and put in a magic word and then they are verified. It doesn't take long, and means ur emails will get to me. I havent had any spam since I started using spam arrest, so i would advise using them if you have issues with spam

Also I got a couple of CD's from SELF TORT, the sexy aussie lawyer who really knows how to rock. We'll be displaying some of his works from him tonight, some of which may even be fresh listens for me, especially the "acoustic" CD he sent me.

We also have a new member, Amber McDaniel, and I have one of her tracks to play out for you all tonight, you can find her on myspace

We will obviously be playing our wide range of unsigned and signed music from all genres, be they trance, DnB or house, To rock metal and funk we have it ALL

We go LIVE from 8PM GMT thats 3PM EST - and hope to see you all there

<p><font size="3" color="#c0c0c0">Thanks to everyone who came to the iMS Party tonight! We knew the time would be rough for many reasons but we still managed to get 25+ people in there at one time and probably 40-50 in and out through the show. A great time was had by all and we will be doing that again soon. It was just too much fun.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#c0c0c0">We have the left the iMS Radio station streaming all 41 Songs For Rob! The link is on the menu up top! There are some fantastic songs in there so have a listen!</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#c0c0c0">Again thanks to everyone who showed up! It was great getting to know you a little bit better!</font></p><p><font color="#c0c0c0"> </font></p><p><font size="3" color="#c0c0c0">We also made an update to the Projam Artist Theme. Since the music page was a single page, this presented a load problem when artist had a lot of songs. We had a code change made to make page breaks at 15 songs.This should decrease the load time on those pages!</font><font color="#c0c0c0"> <br /></font></p><p><font size="3" color="#c0c0c0"> </font></p><p><font size="3" color="#c0c0c0">The iMS Team!</font></p>

Just plucking notes and enjoying the sound of a guitar, that's where this came from.

I wanted put it under song genre 'Minimalist' but that wasn't available so I choose 'Meditative' instead.

<p><font size="3" color="#ff0000">Just a reminder to join us in <a href="/chat/" target="_blank">CHAT</a> tonight at 6PM EST for an iMS Party! The login is the same as your iMS login. Just a chance to get to know your fellow iMS Members and listen to some of the &quot;Songs For Rob&quot; songs that were submitted for Rob Grant while he was in the Hospital.</font> </p><p><font size="3" color="#ff0000">We hope to see everyone there for some conversation and great music!</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#ff0000">The iMS Crew!</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#ff0000">Oh yeah, if you are not familiar with iMS Radio, you can click the link in the menu or you can just click <a href="http://cast3.jbstream.net/tunein.php/dazed/tunein.pls">HERE</a>. You can use most any player to listen to the stream. iTunes, Winamp, WMP or Quicktime will prok. If you are having trouble, please post here and we will help. At 6:00EST we will change the stream to the SDongs For Rob.&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p><font size="3" color="#999999">Just wanted to let everyone know I have been working on something new for the site. It is not done yet for a couple of reasons but it can be used now. I wanted to get a popup music player for external sites much in the way that soundclick does. </font></p><p><font size="3" color="#999999"> We have some new flash players being made and they should be done in a week or so. I also did not have time to do the browser resize on this so that will be happening as well. <br /><br />On the Projam song information link it currently has four different text areas on the left. I will most likely be dumping the first two. The last two have html and bbcode links depending on what the site you are puttung them on will allow. </font></p><p><font size="3" color="#999999">Here is an example <a href="http://imusicscene.com/index.php?t=audio_player&amp;band_id=10&amp;song_id=4513">Desperate Man - with Bri-an </a></font></p><p><font size="3" color="#999999">As you can see it pulls it up full screen at the moment in the same browser. That will be fixed soon as well as a better player! </font></p><p><font size="3" color="#999999">Hope this helps!</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#999999">Dazed </font></p><p><font size="3" color="#ff0000">Update - I have made a few changes to these. I have updated the Cobalt and Sage themes with BBCode and HTML Codes you can use. They are located on your song page. Now, the one problem I have at the moment is some broken links due to apostrophes in the song titles. I am going to look for a fix but the easiest thing may be to just elimimate the apostrophes! </font></p><p><font size="3" color="#ff0000">All players will open in new windows now but I have not solved the issue of it opening in a small popup window from a link. We should also have the new flash players later in the week.</font></p>
