Was listening to some old loveline episode and they mention a video that someone did that animated Adam's Chief Thunderbear skits. I thought it was fantastic.

Cached version here, no mention of the recent downtime. He just bought an SSD a few months back to resolve performance issues.

The main site is up, just the loveline subdomain is down.

I've just been playing random tracks from the other loveline archive in the mean time.

I just noticed that the loveline-archive.info site has this notice:

quote:

Update (2/12/2010): The way I've been hosting this may not be viable anymore. With the growing amount of traffic and content, a dedicated server might be required. If this is the case, I might have to ask for donations to keep the site up. I'll put a PayPal donate button here if that's the case. I'd need to come up with about $120 a month for the server (and donors would of course be given shell access!). I should know within the week if that'll be required.

Hopefully, that site doesn't disappear as well. I might figure out how to setup my dedicated server with a limited stream for a few goons.

Anyone here good with Shoutcast? I'm trying to setup a new Loveline stream on my dedicated server and having issues installing Shoutcast and AutoDJ. PM me if you can help.

My work is getting very boring without the soothing, nasally voice of Adam playing in the background.

I'm really missing Phil's Random Loveline stream so I set up a new one. It's currently streaming old Loveline episodes from 1995-2005.

I'd like to test it with a few people first so if some of you want to use the stream PM me and I'll give you the URL. I'll be tinkering with it a bit so it may be up and down in the next few days.

May 21, 2006

Everything looks good so far for the stream.

The stream is setup at http://www.lovelinestream.com. Click the Play icon to play.
There's 25 listeners max but I will up the limit as needed.

I need some help weeding out any unlistenable episode or particularly short or poor quality audio files. If you find any that need to be removed PM me or email me at the contact on the site. Suggestions are always welcome as well.

Thank, I can edit them out pretty easily so thanks for the heads up.

CaptainJuan posted:

Suggestion: play a random drop under 10 seconds long between episodes.

I could put drops in between episodes, but I think I would have to built a playlist manually in shoutcast and then insert them in between episodes. If anyone knows how to do it while in random mode that would probably be ideal.

Agreed, Bruce has more personality than Drew, so it leads to interesting situations where Bruce will stand up for something, unlike Drew which folds most the time.

Thanks for the stream BorderPatrol, I miss the old one, and I even donated to him :( I'll do the same for you if you need it.

I originally was crushed when Phil's stream went down. I listened to his stream 6+ hours a day (I have to use noise cancelling headphones at work) so I was pretty bummed when it never returned after so many months. I wanted the setup the stream for myself only, but figured some of you goons might want it too.

Luckily I have a few websites that make me enough money to cover all my hosting costs by the end of the month, so hosting an additional site is essentially free. Besides, I wouldn't want to accept any kind of money for something that is a copyright grey-area at best.

BTW, if you haven't noticed on the bottom of the page there's some text that shows the current episode playing along with the number of listeners. It's been growing the last few days and have been hitting 20+ concurrent users. My shoutcast limit is 25 so if there's more than 25 listeners you may not be able to connect. If we keep hitting over 25 listeners I'll bump that up to 50 but it cost me more monthly to do so.

The 1999-11-24 episode of Loveline just came up on the stream - the interview with students from Columbine, its an interesting piece of history but loving depressing as hell. I'd probably pull that and the 9/11 episode from the rotation, they're interesting but definitely not funny. If people want them you can get them easily from http://loveline-archive.info/ but its certainly not the easy listening that I think most people want from the stream.

Yeah, I heard that too and it bummed me out so I removed it.

I got indexed on google so we've been hitting the 25 listener limit frequently now. I'll bump the limit to 50 at the beginning of the month.

Also, can we get the stream added to the OP? This thread is the #3 hit in Google.

A terrible, terrible thing happened last night. I tried to have Adam lull me to sleep by listening to his soothing voice on the stream and the number of connections was maxed out. I was muscled out of my own stream. :(

I'm going to be glued to the stream for this.

Lol, listening to it right now. Audio is terrible but sounds like it may be interesting.

BTW, a whole 2 days after I doubled the max connections, we've maxed those out too. The site got indexed in Google so we got a lot of new listeners :)

There may be some troubles connecting if the stream is full. I'll need to find some funds to increase the limit or move the host again (which I don't want to do).

Stats!

From 04/13/10 at 21:39:27 until now a total of 30366 connections were made to the server, 4609 hours were played and 121.11 GB traffic was made.

This morning around 7:30 CST, it sounded like a really early episode was playing. It had Riki Rachtman alongside Drew. I don't know what the general consensus is, but I through it was quite awful. Any chance to remove the episodes before Adam was picked up?

I'm guessing it was this one?

If you guys wanna know what episode is playing or recently played on the stream, you can check it out here. It also lists the current episode playing on the bottom of the main page.

The stream is always full now, I'm trying to get more slots opened up without doubling my hosting rates. Might drop the bitrate a bit to do it.

FCKGW

My host was generous enough to drop the bitrate from 64kbps to 48kbps and double my listener limit, so everyone should be able to listen now. I can't tell any difference in the sound, so enjoy!

Shortly after I discovered the TV show I discovered the much superior radio show which at the time was syndicated on 100.7 the buzz in Wa state, this must have been sometime in 1997 or so.

I then began archiving mp3's of the show in late 98 and have been doing it ever since, I have been working in and around various online communities since the late 90's, I remember exchanging old mp3's on the original Napster, Audiogalaxy, too many gnutella clients to name and many other different P2P programs, I've been using the DC++ hub since the early days and would frequent all the old LL ftp's (kevin U's, lovelinehamandcheez, etc.) I used to love downloading from the Lovelinearchive (RIP) and worked on Lovelinecentral (RIP) with Adam D. and rush before it was closed down.

In the past few years my efforts have been dedicated to finding old tapes and then transferring them, I have a unique setup for the process and very specific settings, it results in the best sounding shows yet to be released, It takes me about 3-4 weeks on average for 100 shows but I have done 200 in less than 6 weeks before, these old fan made recordings are the last hope we have of ever completing the archive, if you're reading this and have any tapes please email me ASAP.

Drew and Kennedy are talking over Adam, Adam is getting pretty annoyed.
Caller calls in to ask Adam specifically a question about religion, and Kennedy and Drew start answering it. Adam gets pissed and takes off for a few questions. He just came back and is drinking on the air and is telling them that everyone talking isn't working.
