The .wav

[AC Tones]

Thanks for the kind words, guys.  A couple quick updates.  The AudioNow issue has been resolved.  They did not update the new streaming URL.  Also, the station e-mail server problem has also been resolved.  Hit me up at info@wavjazz.net and say Hi!  Finally, iTunes updated the streaming URL and my listing.  Unfortunately, for those used to seeing me in the "W" section next to that former LA-based terrestrial radio giant that plays "who knows what these days" , I am NOW listed under "Jazz" in the "N" section as "A New .wav"---and for those who use Reciva and have Reciva Internet radios, I am now in their radio directory as well.  The iTunes issue has been an inconvenience for many, and has cost me a ton of listening hours over the last few weeks.  Fortunately, now that is behind me as well.  One more thing---for those of you in the market for a new Ford, I'll be in select models courtesy of Ford's SYNC technology and Stitcher.  The station can be found under "Internet Radio", and by zip code.  Soon, the Ford SYNC directory will also list stations by genre.  That is ALL for now, my friends.  Have a great week!!!

Lots of great news Chris. Thanks for the update. I like the contact feature, nice to put a face with the name. (I mean that in a good way) Have a good week buddy.

Just a quick update and a reminder, guys.  You can now follow the station on Twitter at "wavjazzdotnet" for important updates.  Also, iTunes listeners, be advised that the station is now listed in Jazz in the "N" section under "A New .wav", and that the streaming URL has changed.  I have gotten a number of e-mails from folks asking why they cannot find me on iTunes or why they cannot tune in with their default player.  Sorry again for the inconvenience, but I was very displeased with the performance of my old stream provider.

Everything was fine, until I heard Taylor Swift.


So I turned to this: http://www.cjazzchannel.com/



Otherwise, great channel.

I think I have only three Taylor Swift cuts in the entire rotation, but for some reason, guys tune in at the precise time one of them is playing.   Oh well.  She is a rather polarizing artist, so I am not surprised about the negative feedback.  But ANY kind of feedback is good, and that tells me you guys are listening.  And if those three cuts make guys tune out and keep them from coming back, then they are not worth spinning---simply as that.

OK, my friends.  I HAVE heard you.  A couple of my trusted listeners on this board told me they had received e-mails over the past few weeks wondering WTH I was trying to accomplish with the new vocals.  I guess they didn't have the heart to criticize the programming directly, and I respect that.  But suffice it to say, it was a complete disaster with the guys who have been with me from the start--my bread and butter listeners.  I became the guy I vowed never to become---someone who looked to grow his audience at any cost with little or no regard to his base.  Never again.  If I want to experiment, it will be on the other stream.  Only time will tell whether or not this format will ultimately survive on the Internet.  But in the meantime, it's good to be back!   BTW, an ALL NEW Chilled Excursions with Angelica airs tonight at 11:00PM Eastern.  Hope you can join us!

Aww, does this mean no more Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Thomas Dolby, Real Life, National, Submarines, etc? 

Oh well.  I guess that was too good to expect too many people to latch onto.  I'll still be a listener!

Glad to hear that, Radical!   I don't think folks were as averse to the New Wave 80s stuff as they were to the current Pop/Rock and AAA.  But I do think it was a case of too much too soon.  My listeners are VERY loyal but also VERY fickle about what they like.  And since I recruited them based on an instrumental-heavy presentation, I have to be sensitive to that.  In time, I will start to work back in The Pet Shop Boys and more underplayed 80s New Wave stuff, as I agree with you 100% that it has a place in this format as a change of pace.  So your patience will be rewarded!

Sorry to bring this up so late:
"You are better off going with the TuneIn Radio app, or opening the .pls file with your default media player.

Or just put the URL http://184.154.145.114:8032/stream (yes, including the "/stream" argument at the end) directly into your VLC. No downloading "apps" necessary. (Those things are usually full of spyware anyways.) Incidentally, I have that IP address mapped to "stream.wavjazz.net" in my hosts file. Makes it easier to remember, anyways. ;o)
