Theme Song Contest Open Again
After much deliberation (and an entry) I’ve decided to reopen the contest. The new deadline for the contest is April 18th at 5pm. Â GET CRACKIN’
Theme Song Contest!
So it’s been over a year since the last contest ended, and since I’ve been teasing ‘contests’ in the theme song each week, I felt it was time to finally rectify this.
I’ve had a All Cover Song show in the works for a few months now. Â I’ve approached a few friends to do a cover version of the show’s theme song, but so far nobody has had the time/inclination/inspiration to do so, which is fine. I was thinking that this is perfect fodder for a new contest!
So, submit YOUR cover version of the theme song before March 21st at 5pm EDT April 18th at 5pm to be entered into the contest for the chance to win a movie of my choosing DVD or Bluray. Â The actual film selection will likely be a negotiation between the winner and I, and I promise to only pick a movie I actually think is good. Â I will be the final judge of the winning entry, and there will be only one true winner, although I will likely play some of the runners up throughout the show (and possibly use them on future shows).
After I announced this on the show, a few people asked for some clarifications:
- I tend to prefer cover songs that are unique from the original, and sometimes even almost unrecognizable, so feel free to interpret creatively.
- You don’t need to stick with the original T-Pain background bed, in fact, unless your delivery was awesome, it could hurt you in the contest.
- If nobody enters I’m just going to buy myself a massage.
Good luck!
Happy Holidays!
The programme will be on holiday until January 3rd, 2011!

@programmetracks and other random updates
As usual the programme will be live tonight at 10pm, and tonight we’ll debut a new feature. As each song plays, the artist an song title will be posted to a second twitter account, @programmetracks. So if that is something you are interested in, check it out. You can view the updates without actually having a Twitter account, so don’t let that scare you off..
You may have noticed the little “This is blahblahblah, and you are listening to grahams’ completely normal radio programme’ drops which I pepper into each show. New drops are always welcome, so if you have a computer and a microphone, please feel free to send them my way. And don’t feel the need to stick directly to the ‘script’. I’ll be debuting a special drop tonight which goes completely off script…
Some listeners have asked me why there isn’t a podcast version of the show. The short answer to that is that while it is technologically easy for me to do so, my streaming license only covers streaming, so I can’t legitimately provide a podcast without obtaining yet another license (which would mean more money). Obviously, this might be something I would consider should a deep-pocketed patron of the programme come along, but until then… If you are interested in some of the bizarre/draconian limitations on my streaming license, check out this page over at LoudCity.
As always, You can send your requests, comments, complaints, suggestions, or demands over at the Contact page. I hope you tune in tonight, and spread the word about the programme!

I heard reports of the stream dropping a few times..  If this happens usually a simple reconnect will do the trick.  You can also try increasing the buffer size in your player (in iTunes the way to do this is Preferences->Advanced->Streaming Buffer Size)
