These are musicians, not cage fighting neanderthals from the UFC. I'm not sure what your definition of wimpy is since the bands you recently uploaded, that RP added to the main playlist; Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros and The Monsters of Folk don't exactly sound like they chew iron for breakfast. You list Band of Horses and Arcade Fire, I would guess that you haven't been to any of their live shows. These bands can be explosive in a live setting, they can also be mellow too, but wimpy as a description of them is so far from accurate that it's ludicrous. And to make matters worse you side with Photo-John, who's comments regarding this band make him seem, at the very least, unbalanced, and at the most, a borderline sociopath.

There seems to be a proliferation of mean spirited, hateful comments lately. People, ease up on the extreme comments. If you dont like a song or artist, that's cool, we all have different tastes. But when I see comments like, "Bill, WTF is wrong with you"? or "Are you out of your mind for playing something like that"? It bothers me so much, I almost taking it personally and feel bad for the operators of RP. If you feel that strongly, go start a radio station yourself. If you don't like something, you know where the mute is. More than likely, a new song will play in about 3-5 minutes. I have been blessed with the gift of hearing and we take it for granted sometimes. Let's all be thankful that Radioparadise is on the air because what if it wasn't around? There would be a great big hole in the internet radio world and that would be sad. I have been fortunate to be turned on to so many new artists and reacquainted with old ones over the last few years and I appreciate it. Thank you, Bill.

Yes, they are part of a scary, yes scary, trend of wimpy bands that are proliferating RP with great frequency. Bands such as  Bands of Horses, Muse, Decemberists, Arcade Fire and the like. It would be ok every now and then, but seriously. I feel ya.

Makes me want to kill. I am done with RP for the day.

Sounds a bit like Arcade Fire.

I diisagree. Anyone who never wants to kill is not really in touch with their true self. Wanting to do things is one thing. Actually doing something is another thing. And yes, I seriously hate this band.

Wow - that's a very scary and unnerving comment, Photo-John.  I hope you don't react like this to, oh, a cloudy day, or someone who looks at you wrong. IMO, anyone who ever WANTS to kill might have a couple of screws loose...

Oh yeah, I see what you mean - sorta like Koyaanisquatsi?

Okay, I'm a dork. I really like this song, despite all the other stuff written about it. It still reminds me of an anthill at warp-speed, but it's amazing anyway.

It's because Bill knows I like it.

Isn't part of this song used in the UPS, white boarding commercials?  All I can hear when it starts up is..."what can brown do for you..."

If RP would institute a program where you could sponsor a song to never be played again, this would be first on my list.
