Weather today feels..

..like Fall! I guess it's (Autumn) my favorite time of the year. We can fast forward, skipping spring and summer. If this were Oct or Nov I'd be very happy. The way the sun stood in the sky, the way the cool wind blew just reminded me of a fall day.

WHY? WBLS, WHY?

You changed streaming servers recently (last week) and now I can't seem to work the stream. It bombs out after so many minutes and I have to click Play to restart it. Problem is, if I'm not around to click then I'll miss out on hours of the broadcast.
Why would you do this and do this unannounced? I know a couple of years ago, there was this report that in 2009 streaming would end because it would become too expensive. Now that you've found an inexpensive way to stream your broadcast, WHY have you made accessing the stream too $@#$# difficult. For example, up until last week, I was able to just click on a shortcut link that opens up the stream player, and the stream would start. Now I have to click that and click "PLAY"
Realize that we online listeners are part of your audience. WBLS, you're going backwards in a day where accessibility means easy and seamless access for every user. You're making your listeners go through obstacle after obstacle just to hear your station. I'd rather NOT listen anymore if I have to add another unnecessary step just to hear the stream. Do us a favor and restore that service so that we can play the station using a 1 step process please. 2 step process is so internet 1.0, aka 1994.

"Unannounced switch" OR "WBLS, Shame on you!"

Today I tried to access WBLS' online stream via a bookmark. Unfortuntely, the link failed. Going to the website I found that cliking on Listen Live, opens a different URL than what my bookmark has.

To WBLS: This is probably the 5th time you've switched streaming servers over the past few years. In this techy age, please do your best to update your listeners on your website and/or email prior to making a switch of a technical nature. Now you have listeners all over the world. I hear callers call in from California to the Armed forces who's only link to you could very well be a bookmark. This is just my advice; I hope you take it.

Tall, Talented and Terrific: The TEMPTIN' TEMPTATIONS

I wasn't around during the time of their heyday, but the Temptations were an incredible group. Song after song, I just can't get enough. Some of my favorites are Girl, Why You Wanna Make Me Blue, I'm Losing You, The Girl's Alright With Me, All I Need (possibly my favorite Temps song), Get Ready, Please Return Your Love to Me.
Check this clip out on youtube of this wonderful performance. Makes you wish you were there to see them live.
