since the submission request page seems to be done (or has been down for a while), I'll leave this here as a future submission:
it's got a jazzy Chuck Mangione 70s disco feel to it.
Not right now. The system was buggy so they took it down. I believe they're working on a fun new thing that might allow us to submit our favorites again.
My first submission performed by a French Celtic quartet I saw playing in the Toronto Music Garden during the summer of 2019, quirky, catchy and just downright awesome. New album out now as well as this EP. Recommended listening IMO
Bill, I'm not sure if you saw the other thread about music submissions, so I'll try here, too. And while I'm asking questions.... why do emoticons go underneath the text, instead of next to it? And it doesn't seem to work if you type in the emoticon. BillG wrote:
There's an initial review step before things show up on the 'reviewing' list. So if I submit a couple of songs, will you listen to them and see whether you like them or not? The ones I submitted don't show up on the long list, but I see them under "My Submissions." How many songs do you "review" on average a day, or per week ?

On your FAQ, the question "Do you mind if I stream RP in my store/shop?" is the text of "How do the artists you play get paid?". Somehow, I don't think that the single answer applies to both.
Love Radio Paradise and seldom listen to any other 'radio station'. Whilst I realise that the choice of play list is Bill and Rebecca's as its their station, I do wonder about the selection process, do they listen to every track submitted? Do they make choices based on " gee we've got loads of that artist, don't want anymore" Are there whole catagories of music they don't particularly like? or too much of a particularly genre? It would be interesting to get a handle on just a fraction of the process before I submit anymore....track record is 27 submitted 0 accepted, some are still sitting there and may be will get taken up laters....I'll still listen as its a good station.
Probably not, otherwise my last submission would have been an instant add
i know...know know know you have Qs - i mean who dusntrite? Butt (ha ha ha I typed butt Beavis) lets get rillyrillyrill hear mmk?

Do they listen to every track submitted? I would imagine they could be overwhelmed sometimes.
I floated a scenario about the LRC years ago that IIRC was sort of confirmed by Bill: Songs go into review and are marked as "New" until they've had a chance to hear them. When they're just doing stuff around the house, washing the dog or sorting laundry, they might put on the LRC (with the understanding that this is less pleasant than listening to RP and they also have a work-responsibility to listen to other radio and new releases). If your song in the LRC got played, it moved to "reviewing" status. If nothing about it jumped out good/bad and they got the dog washed and dried without noticing the song, it remained in "reviewing," possibly for years. If it immediately made them hate it, it got a Sorry, and if they were thrilled to hear it, it got Added. When everything was clean and tidy, maybe once or twice a year, they might go thru and Sorry a lot of stuff in one batch, so it didn't come up on their LRC rotation anymore.
At least that's how I'd do it. I assume it's still similar with the new system.
I love cats.
not sure what that means but maybe the new site design will address some issues.
