Long...time...updating...

Hey, muhfukkrs!  So, it's been a long ass time since I've updated, so I figure I better get SOMETHING up here.  I'm still in a music updating hiatus due to shit being really busy and not a lot of sponsorship coming in. However, there have been a LOT of new releases in 2011 that I'm not going to be able to resist for very much longer.  So, I'm thinking there's gonna be a November 2011 overhaul, which would include adding new bands and new records from Switch mainstays. 

Regarding requests: The Killswitch Stream is NOT request based station.  Having a request based station requires a lot of tweaking in order to follow FCC rules (to avoid heavy fines and possible shut down), of which I have ZERO time.  However, if you REALLLLLY want to hear a song (eventually), you're more than welcome to send me a high quality MP3 to the.killswitch.stream@gmail.com and I'll get it into rotation if it's not a corrupt track.  Even better, if you want 5 - 10 songs put into the rotation that you really feel would work, send a $10 GC to the same email address and I'll get your shit in pronto!

That's it.  Thanks for listening!

Updating Hiatus

Good news and bad!  Good news: Didn't get taken in the Rapture, so The Killswitch Stream will stay up and running indefinitely!!  HAILZ!  However, bad news:  because of a lack of financial/label support for The Switch I'm going on a "new song/band updating" hiatus.  The cost, at this point, has outweighed the benefit for me to continue to pour money into keeping this station as up-to-date as it has been in the past.  This DOESN'T mean that The Killswitch Stream is going down.  That won't ever happen.  But, it's going to be awhile before anything new gets added to the playlist.

HOWEVER!  If you really want to hear a new band, or a new track from a mainstay band, then feel free to send a $5 amazon.com/mp3 email gift certificate to the.killswitch.stream@gmail.com with your requests and I'll get on them ASAP!

Laterz!

Extreme Metal Android – Subscriber Radio BETA (for VIPs Only)

"Live365 VIPs can now enjoy all the benefits of listening on their Android smartphones. Search and listen to your presets, view "Now Playing" info. A full-featured free listening app is in development. Check back here or in the Android Market for the latest updates." - Live365
 
If you have an Android smartphone, just hit the Market, search for Live365, download the app and search for shit we play.  This is still an EXTREMELY touchy BETA software app, so be patient.  I've had a hard time getting it to load at all, and when I did, if there isn't a VERY solid connection it craps out.  It's not good quality yet, but they're working on it.

New Polls!

So, based on the search/listen polls I put up last year I have put up two new polls with refined answers.  When you have a sec, retake the polls so I can further find where I'm having the most impact!  This means more shred for you in the future, so GET TO IT!  5 seconds...done!  Thanks, folks!

FINALLY!

My extreme LAZY ASS has finally gotten up and found some new shit to get on this station.  And when I say "some" new shit, I mean 30 new bands and a few new tracks from some mainstays.  By no means am I finished, but lack of funding for this bitch is making uploads fewer and far between.  Sorry...again, I love Amazon.com/MP3 GCs sent to thekillswitchstream@gmail.com.  As little as $5 will get you six new songs from 2 - 3 new bands.  Permanently!

Also going to be trying to get some new bumpers and graphics for The Switch.  Mix it up a bit.  If you do either and would be willing to donate your skillz to the cause, lemme know.

Updates: Researching and Contemplating...

I know I've been a douche when it comes to updating; sorry about that.  The holidays are getting close to being over for me at work, so I'm starting to get that urge to cut open the Switch to see how she's feeling.  So, a couple of things:

1) I'm in the process of researching all of the new bands that have put out brutal new shit in the past six months; when I'm done with that I will start the painstaking process of finding all the NEW releases from all the bands already on The Switch that have one (that reminds me, Amazon.com/MP3 gift certificates go here: thekillswitchstream@gmail.com).  That should take me a few months as I know there's a lot of good new shit out there.  Just gotta sift through it. 

2) In the past The Switch has been equal parts Death/Metal and Hardcore/Metalcore.  But, over time it's taken on a more Death/Grind/Thrash heavy lean...which is fine by me.  If that's the way The Switch wants it, that's what she gets.  BUT, I miss me some hardcore.  So, over the next few months I'm going to scope out what would be needed to create a new station that would be purely Hardcore in all it's various forms.  Now, I'm not really into that scene, I just dig the music, so it's gonna take a LOT of time to figure something that isn't just a pathetic attempt to get hard(er).  Look for a 2012 release of that fucker if it happens.

3) Did I mention I love money:  amazon.com/MP3 gift certificates are really easy to send, especially when sent to thekillswitchstream@gmail.com.  $6 gets you two or three bands that weren't on here before.  Think about that...you know you can't live without The Switch!  Mwuahahahahah!
