I realize a lot of Radio Paradise these days is 'automated' but if I rate something a 1 and then skip it - shouldn't their software know enough to remove it from my music and never play it again? I'm starting to hear the same songs over and over - especially on the Rock Mix. 
 

Rock mix is due for a major freshening & expansion soon. Stay tuned...

I can't give a 1 to something this happy and peppy, so it's getting a 2. It's just so......pedestrian.
 
A "negative" post I can give a 'thumbs up' to - thanks for that....and while I'm above the average w/ my 6, I think it's peppy enough to keep me there.  And I'm also glad BillG supports his NorCal bands (think CAKE, etc.) so there's that too.  Long Live RP!!

Does anyone else notice the resemblance of Tracy Walton's voice to that of Mary Black, at least on this song?
 
Indeed...and also Eddie Reader/Fairground Attraction ?

You think every listener has their own individual stream?

A bar-mitzvah maybe.  This is awful.
 
LOL - it is pleasant background noise.  Something I might expect from a Disney movie.

Betcha they are a blast in a bar setting- not as recording artists though.

this would be great to hear live in an outdoor bar...but otherwise...

There are a lot of nice elements here (shuffle beat drumming, accordion, nice vocals), but it just doesn't do it for me. Of course, as Louisiana native, I can still appreciate any kind of gumbo...mumbo or no.
big life, big smile, big (yawn)

Where are these guys from? Anybody knows? So far I know they are from No. Calif. but don't know what city...
Davis, between SF and Sacramento. They are a very fun band to see live. Lead singer Chris Webster is amazing!! (click here)
