The station says they have the audio problem "absolutely fixed". I'll start the stream at around 6:40 so let me know if its ok then. Actually, I don't know what I'd be able to do about it but we'll see.

8. the song only works

when you picture pretty, worn out miss things with nothing to sell but their pretty slightly raunchy selves in skintight spandex- not hairless goatboys with the ethics of tapeworms! yech!
:grr:

[nostamj]

9. well.... it has a good beat (off)

and you can taxi dance to it... ;-)

[pretzel4gore]

95. why you're right!

i'll hum the words...lol

[coreystone]

6. A bump for the Big Guy! :-)

[benburch]

7. White Rose Checking In.

Lots of new features and content coming soon!

If you use White Rose, and like it, please consider even a small donation. This is now what I do for a living, and I work 12+ hours a day on it almost every day of the week.

[coreystone]

14. benburch , what is your take on the back ground hum????

[benburch]

15. Hold it... The show hasn't started yet, has it?

I can filter out some hum...

[coreystone]

10. Guy, the music sounded fairly clean, but, right now the voices are...

quite distorted!

:-(

[coreystone]

11. There also seems to be a "grounding" hum in the back, still getting ..

distortion!!

[benburch]

17. Sounds like a ground loop. nt

I'm fiddling with the equalizer.

[benburch]

19. I think I have improved it a bit.

A vocal booster and a compressor online. There is bleed from some other signal on this line. You can hear it in the silent intervals.

Guy, let me do your streaming. Just get me a good raw feed and I'll do the rest. You pay too much for this terrible quality.

[BTFSTL]

12. Same here...

The music was clear, but the voices right now are terribly distorted and fuzzy. I can still make them out but it doesn't sound very good right now.

[nostamj]

13. agree! just awful.

if anything, worse that the last broadcast.

SORRY! to report this...

[BTFSTL]

16. Still sounding distorted

Very fuzzy but I can make out the voices. Could be tough to listen to but I'll make do if I have to.

[nostamj]

18. guy, IMHO you're being sabotaged

the sound (except *maybe* the first show) on the new station has been terrible. virtually unlistenable.

they are KILLING your internet audience. period.

[coreystone]

20. I think so also!! Have you ever listened to any other streams this

station does????

[benburch]

21. Guy, you need to file suit if they cannot fix this.

Seriously, you have lawyer friends, right? Toast their toes.

[nostamj]

24. ben, sadly...

a recording of EXACTLY what these asshat's are streaming would help his case.

(I know you're trying to get the best archive possible)

[benburch]

26. For the next five minutes I will take the filters off line.

That should be plenty of evidence.

[benburch]

27. At 12:51 for five minutes.

It is terrible.

[benburch]

34. Okay, Five unfiltered minutes in the can.

Is there anybody actually in this listening area on here?

If you can hook up a radio to a sound recorder next week, and send me a raw recording of this, I can post that have have a decent archive.

This is damned frustrating.

Guy deserves so much better.

[napi21]

22. Well the feed is bad, but I can still hear it! I'll put up with it.

Great to hear you again Guy!

[guajira]

23. So far I can Hear, but not loud enough

Looks like I'll be sitting real close to my computer for awhile!

But it's worth it!

[CHIMO]

25. Sound Is Bad

But I'm hanging in.
I have set the max frequecy for the 500 Hz range and decrease the rest. Not perfect but I can make out the talk.

Hang in there Guy. We'll get over this.

[eleny]

29. Bad here, too - but...

I set the base and treble to center in advanced controls of the Play Control. It's better.

[proud patriot]

28. I'm here

I've been sick with a flu all week , but
I'm getting my energy back .

[proud patriot]

32. I just donated Guy

It's not much , but it's something . I wish
I had more to give .

[coreystone]

30. Let's listen to Guy, and listen "through" the inference!

:-)

Don't let them get you down Guy!!!

You keep fighting! Were here with y'a!

:-)

:grr:

[CountAllVotes]

35. hang in there Guy! We are with you!

and we aren't going anywhere. We'll listen through the buzzzzzz.

:hug: Guy ... :D

:kick:

[Dudley_DUright]

31. Hey gang

Got my DSL line fixed just in time to hear the Guy James Show and I am greeted with a big earful of static. Some days I am amazed that anything works at all with all the technical problems that are conceivable. Murphy's law is in force today. :-(

[GOPS Worst Fear]

38. We need to campaign For Guy James.

Let's all try to contact Air America AND The Jones Networks!

Air America:
http://www.airamericaradio.com/shows/unfiltered/contact.asp

The Jones Radio Networks:
http://www.jonesradio.com/

If enough people contact maybe these place MAY take it seriously!

[Dudley_DUright]

39. I have sent a bunch of e-mail on Guy's behalf to AAR

but I have not thought about Jones Radio (Ed Schultz's network I believe). Good suggestion.

[CountAllVotes]

43. AAR wouldn't even read Guy's resume!

Sorry gang but I find AirAmerica radio to be both blind and arrogant for not even having the decency to respond to Guy! I prefer Guy a lot more than I do some of those of AirAmerica and I've been following Guy for almost 2 years now.

Donate now if you can! I donated already today BEFORE THE SHOW because I want to keep Guy on the air!

More power to Guy James!

41. Feds Warned About Fake News Videos

The Bush regime has been caught paying Armstrong Willian, Maggie Gallagher, and others. Jeff Gannon (not his real name) was given a White House pass for two years before it was discovered he was a fraud. Limbaugh is being paid to visit Afghanistan and pimp the "progress"
paid for with $Billions in taxpayer money. Now the GAO is warning the Bush regime about propaganda videos.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=542&e=8&u=/ap/fake_news

Feds Warned About Fake News Videos

Sat Feb 19, 8:21 AM ET

WASHINGTON - Congressional investigators warned federal agencies this week that the promotion of government policies through video news releases meant to look like TV news stories may violate federal rules against propaganda.

In a letter sent Thursday to heads of government departments and agencies, the Government Accountability Office noted that "prepackaged news stories have become common tools of the public relations industry."

The presentations "are intended to be indistinguishable from news segments broadcast to the public by independent television news organizations," the letter said.

[coreystone]

42. Let's use tax dollars to repress the questioning minds of tomorrows...

leaders. Starts getting scary!!! Let's be Ann Coulter and label everything rather than openly discussing the issues. I always took the courses from the more "controversial" teachers during my undergraduate years. They were usually the ones that stimulated my mind. Let's label groups rather than to consider the independent merit of THOUGHT!!!!!

:-(

[benburch]

44. Sue these bastards, Guy.

This goes beyond incompetence. This MUST be deliberate.

Make them either fix it or see you in court.

[Catshrink]

48. Did it suddenly get better?

All of a sudden mine cleared up a lot. Still not great, but much better.

[proud patriot]

50. Why yes it did

:thumbsup:

[benburch]

It just got much better.

Not perfect yet.

[nostamj]

51. agree. NOT perfect

but, NOT COMPLETELY ANNOYING BARELY LISTENABLE crap!

DUers been calling in to complain?

[eleny]

45. Sound just snapped to "perfect" - Thanks!

It sounds great!

[CountAllVotes]

49. Coming in LOUD & CLEAR now Guy! :)

The "problem" seems to be fixed Guy!! :D

:bounce: :bounce:

[Dudley_DUright]

46. Wow, the fog clears

Now the feed is coming in loud and clear. :-)

[coreystone]

47. Something just clicked in!!!! :-)

The signal has been GREATLY IMPROVED!!!

:-)

[mr_pique]

52. Senators limited to Green Zone

Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and three other senators are visiting Iraq
and I saw their news conference. The other woman senator was telling about how much the conditions had improved since her last visit in 2003
but a newsman asked her if she had been able to leave the Green Zone. She
admitted that it was too dangerous to venture outside the Green Zone. Hillary said that in 2003 she was able to drive from the airport into Baghdad. I guess it's so dangerous now they only use choppers to travel around.

Iraq is a mess and Bush has committed war crimes with the illegal invasion and occupation. 1475 Americans are dead and more than 10,000
wounded. The Liptor Group estimates 100,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed. The criminal occupation is the problem in Iraq and it will never
get any better until Bush, or some president, pulls us out.

Get the troops out of Iraq and put Bush and the regime on trial for crimes against humanity.

[coreystone]

53. We already have a cultural/idealogical "Civil War" in this country...

It is the time for the "Chamberlainesque" appeasement of these Republican "crooks" and "thugs" to be TOTALLY challenged by the Democrats. They will only continue to lose ground unless they clearly understand that the LINE needs to be drawn NOW!!!

[mr_pique]

54. U.S. Iraq Authority Missing Nine $BILLION, -- of your money

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=540&e=17&u=/ap/iraq_funds_summary_box

Summary: U.S. Iraq Authority Missing $9B

THE REPORT: The U.S. occupation authority in Iraq was unable to keep track of nearly $9 billion it gave to government ministries lacking financial controls, security, communications and adequate staff, a government audit has found.

TIMEFRAME: U.S. officials relied on Iraqi audit agencies to account for the funds. The offices were not even functioning when the funds were transferred between October 2003 and June 2004, auditors found.

[Dudley_DUright]

55. I love John

"Creeping fascism" A very wise man.

[mr_pique]

56. Fascism = Corporatism

" Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism
because it is a merger of State and corporate power."
Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), Fascist Dictator of Italy

[coreystone]

59. The US = "the imperialist extension of those European nations..

that stole these two continents"! It makes sad to see how much this country has "grown" up!!

:-(

[proud patriot]

58. Me too , he's great

I look forward to his call all week

[nostamj]

57. damn! it used to be ABC news

now it's... FUAX? :puke:

[Voltaire]

60. Hey Guy

I love the songs and speech montage you have at the top of every hour, but for weeks now I have been trying to figure out what the last song was and who it is by. I know its from the 80s but need help figuring it out. Can you help?

[BeachBuckeye]

94. "Word of mouth"

Mike and the Mechanics

[mr_pique]

61. Cheney claimed Iraq had Nukes, without evidence

"We believe has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons." - Vice President Cheney on March 16, 2003 on "Meet the Press."

FACT: There was and is absolutely zero basis for this statement. CIA reports up through 2002 showed no evidence of an Iraqi nuclear weapons program. Of course no nuclear weapons have been used or found in Iraq.

[mr_pique]

63. Colin Powell lied to the world and the UN about WMD

"Our conservative estimate is that Iraq today has a stockpile of between 100 and 500 tons of chemical weapons agent. That is enough to fill 16,000 battlefield rockets." - Secretary of State Colin Powell, Feb. 5 2003, in remarks to the UN Security Council.

FACT: Putting aside the glaring fact that not one drop of this massive stockpile has been found, but, as previously reported, our own intelligence reports show that these stocks - if they existed - were well past their use-by date and therefore useless as weapon fodder.

[mr_pique]

65. Rummy said they "knew" where WMD's were located

"We know where are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south, and north somewhat." - Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, March 30, 2003, in statements to the press.

FACT: Needless to say, no such weapons were found, not to the east, west, south or north, somewhat or otherwise.

[coreystone]

62. Social Security should always have had a "lock box"...no exceptions!

[Catshrink]

64. Hello New York Bureau!

Finally, talk about GannonGate!

[coreystone]

66. Guy! "It Can't Happen Here" is a classic! Really! I'll get you a copy!

[Dudley_DUright]

67. Great call from Jeff

as usual. :-)

Here is his new website that he mentioned

http://www.jeffreymatson.com/

[guajira]

68. Has Anyone out there noticed the push to

get rid of PBS?? There is a serious effort going on right now!

[benburch]

69. How did I do on the air.

Was I too strident?

[Catshrink]

72. Not at all strident!

I wondered if "Ben" was indeed you. Good call!

[coreystone]

73. Y'a done GOOD! There's some connection! Keep up the ...

great work!


:-)

[nostamj]

74. hell no! you were fine!

[benburch]

77. Good.

I meant it about wanting blood. If we cannot get Democracy and Justice through playing by the rules, then let us break the rules.

[benburch]

70. I send Guy $10 each month, and I'm poor.

ALL of you who read this NEED to do the same.

[Dudley_DUright]

71. Love that love

Lay it on us Guy.

[coreystone]

75. I hope Guy has their address, so we can have them change their

MEDS!

[nostamj]

76. "OPS Community" =

Old Piss-Stained Shorts Community

[nostamj]

78. technically, Hannity said that Kerry

had never been IN COMBAT in Vietnam.

he still sucks like a Hoover... but...

[Dudley_DUright]

79. True, but if anything that is worse

since it is a well documented fact that Kerry was in combat.

[nostamj]

80. agree....

but, to say that Hannity actually said that he was NEVER THERE, is false. and if we say he said it, he can prove he didn't say THAT.

you know how these bottom-feeding parasites work...

[benburch]

84. So, if he is in combat on the water...

he is not in combat in the country???

I still can't see how that makes this less of a lie.

[nostamj]

87. oh, it's a LIE but...

when WE say he said 'kerry was never in VN', we're lying.

that's the world we're in. and that's what they will spin and they'll make it about US misquoting Insanity...

yeah, it's madness but...

[Dudley_DUright]

81. Not only can Lynn Cheney not tell the truth, but

she can't write worth a damn either. That had to be the worst piece of crap passage I have ever heard in my life. :puke:

[Catshrink]

82. Gannon: Anderson Cooper did a good interview last night

Made the little creep squirm.

When a whole nation is roaring patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of its hands and purity of its heart." : Ralph Waldo Emerson
