So funereal. Yikes.
If you don't like it, hit the "skip button". ...problem solved. I think it is EXCELLENT! Thanx RP!
no way to contact Bill any more.
Been trying.
as an “international “ listener” and long time lover of RP is there any way to reduce the banjo and wailing female US style country vocalists and get a LOT better at a more diverse
diverse representation of the WORLD ?
It’s a bit frustrating to hear the Same Old Same Old American stuff even on the alternate mixes.
Super Frustrating in fact.
Hate to leave. But I’m Looking elsewhere.
Sorry Bill

Probably listening to KISS.FM now, bless.

Fellow International listener here.........
1) this comment is posted on an instrumental track - by a 'group' from Helsinki in Finland. WTAF?
2) I think we must be listening to very different stations. The reason I've been here for so long is the sheer diversity of what Bill & Rebecca play.
3) Don't know what you were smoking but can I have some - and I hope you found your spiritual home, 'coz RP definitely ain't it!!

listening to My Favorites channel so this prob won't get much in the way of views/replies but i really dig the darker/moody stuff i hear on RP- many other things as well obviously but the range of emotions that RP's selections evoke far surpasses the other services out there- keep it up RP!!!
I do agree with this - the range of emotions on RP is a of far greater range than on other channels.
Dr. Hook: Sylvia's mother.
That's what this reminds me of!
"Please Mrs Avrey, I just want to talk to her...."
Keep it eclectic!! Even if I don't like it, I'm sure some people will adore it!
DITTO THAT!!!
In 2005 my ex-girlfriend just broke up with me and I was driving by train through cold and snowy Berlin and then they played THIS on the train radio which I was hearing through headphones. First time I heard that song and I barely managed not to start crying because of the situation and the sad music.
Well, here I am, still living. Love can hurt, but you get over it eventually :-)
And this is a great song despite what it means to me.
(but play it anyway!)

RP isn't all happy, happy, happy, joy, joy, joy. The mood range of its output varies enormously. Personally, I rather like this bunch, who have perhaps invented a new micro-genre: Goth Cello.
Actually, I would never call RP a happy or "joy" station at all. Most of the time, I experience the mood here as a lot of things, but not happy. Melancholic, pondering, thoughtful, sometimes a little too thoughtful...

This is why I listen to RP-variety.
Yeah, true, RP plays 99% eclectic music.

Especially to northern hemisphere dwellers. Now the days get longer.
What, we can only handle one emotion here?
lol
In fact, we went from Supergrass to this to TMBG's "Constantinople"... Radio Paradise seems to be going bipolar.

Actually makes me want to do the same thing. Just too...something. Like they had someone playing a version of Tubular Bells, and another playing a dirge on the cello.
Ahah, that's what I wanted to say here ! Glad to know that I'm not alone to think that.
And whats up with Ludovico I ask?
Ahah, that's what I wanted to say here ! Glad to know that I'm not alone to think that.
Yeah, you guys are so right.. but not only is John Carpenter's - Halloween theme song in there. Every time I listen to this, I hear "Nearer My God to Thee", the song they played on the Titanic just before it sank. It's like a mix of the two..Do you agree?
No, I don't agree. The band played, at the end, "Autumn", a show tune popular at the time. "Nearer My God to Thee" would have been most inappropriate to play for people who were going to their deaths. These rumors circulated for decades and ended up in Walter Lord's book about the Titanic "A Night to Remember".
'Tho I guess you could sing the words to it. I guess.
I find this to be moving without being maudlin.
Did Metallica sit this one out?

This, though still good, is not quite the same. They've got a drummer now, and a keyboard by the sounds of it. Their initial stuff was more fun!
Amen brother (or sister if you are one)...
absoluted could listen to this shit all day!
:)
Amen brother (or sister if you are one)...
Also, too, I'm seeing updates from NZ and Australia on reddit, regarding their continued existence, so it looks like we just might make it...
And I appreciate any intentional apocalyptical connotations on this very special, and final, day.
great comment.
Maybe your music stream dropped out; there's a very clear melody going on.
Not diss-ing the music at all. It's most excellent.
It was a Black Helicopter too, I'll bet, next time it will land and make you it's slave .... dance little human! Dance! Heh heh heh
Yes. Glass meets melody.
Ewwwww!!!!
So gorgeous and uplifting!
Must be my Norse background.
Try playing this at volume going up the 99 to Whistler with a 'hare' to chase infront of you.

Hilarious. Yeah, I suppose Porcupine Tree is simply 'gay' compared to this. LOL! May your mother rest in peace.
I imagine two great wars and a tense Cold War left a more than a few pensive people in that part of the world. I find it cathartic to drink in all the misery at once—figuratively speaking of course. Perhaps my odd behaviour is the unanticipated consequence of reading R.D. Laing (1967) The Politics of Experience and the Bird of Paradise.
Maybe its because I've been living in Finland for six years. XD
(there are no cello playing emoticons.)

Hi ya,
Come & live in the Scandinavian darkness and coldness for a couple of years first and only then come back to say this music is dreary. By our standards this is just normal/average/beautiful but it DOES capture something in the very core of being a Scandinavian and really living in this gloomy part of the world. You see, we never get to enjoy e.g. the Californian sunshine so we cannot be all that happy & superficial all the time - sorry. (Just an eaxmple - no intention of being rude to California as such.)
About the diversity - yes, that's one of the major factors that make RP so fascinating & unique.

Karmala,
I love your comment. I'd love to visit Finland and Sweden and Norway someday. I do believe that climate has a large effect on a population's general outlook. You call your part of the world gloomy, I don't know if that's true but here in Canada we also face long winters and short summers and I, for one, don't look forward to the end of summer. Of course, there are some people who have a sunny disposition no matter what the weather is (those people drive me a little crazy but I also can't help but to envy them a little) Apolcalyptica may represent the darker side of life, but there is a very successful group who came from your part of the world that recorded some very warm, sunny music. I'm speaking of the very successful group ABBA.

This is dreary. I still like RP even though I get what you're saying. Hopefully Bill will respond to you. I think the balance of music on RP is good and I don't know of another station with the same diversity of music. My favorites also seem to be Bill's. Take a look at the next ten songs in his playlist. Not a dreary set. "Hit The Road Jack." The opposite of this song only a few songs away.
