Bonfires on the HeathThe Clientele 8:08pm on 07 Dec 2009 MisterFrank, playlist inclusion may be a way off, but suggest you email Gideon Coe at 6 Music -- see link on right -- who is sympathetic (and has had The Clientele in session three times), and ask him to play something off the new album. I've already done so.
BBC Radio Waves - exploring what we play 1:10pm on 01 Oct 2009 Not sure if you could get round the “disc 1”/“disc 2” issue in MusicBrainz data by using their Release Groups (which collect all discs, reissues etc under one title) instead of Releases?

Am I right in thinking that your mapping of genres is at the programme/DJ/brand level rather than individual artists or tracks? So the Folk and Country genres in Radio 2 are based on Mike Harding and Bob Harris only, not including any of the Country that, say, Mark Lamarr plays (which gets classified as Soul & Reggae)? If so, that seems like a bit of a limitation. (And it gets more complicated still when you get artists like Neil Young or Elvis Costello who have done folk, country, rock, blues/soul.)
Patterns in radio listening - visualising Radio Pop 09:17am on 04 Dec 2008 Sorry, I probably b*gger up your visualisation because the two shows I listen to most frequently are on at the same time, so I listen to one live and one on the iPlayer and add this manually to my list of listen events later. Obviously you can't have two different coloured pixels in the same place... Apologies!
Coming soon... 12:44pm on 28 Aug 2008 I enjoyed the alpha/beta/whatever of this last summer, so looking forward to its return. Would be great if it integrated with the OSX widget for listening to radio (if I could get that widget to work...)
