I have always said there is room for both of us. You break the rules...I bend them. My stream is a different beast attempting to do what a stream such as martiniinthemorning.com does, for instance...they don't just play Sinatra singing That Ole Black Magic, they play Robert Palmer's version as well...Yeah I know you play covers, too...but I have "expanded the Universe" of all things Beatles. As far as commercials, one needs to air them to exist. I'm not as independently wealthy perhaps? But if pop up ads are interfering with the stream (huh?)...maybe one should try a different player on my site or maybe you should launch from iTunes, as you can do for Beatles Radio, if that's your cup o' tea.

Hope you well with your surgery...I have my own problems...i.e. Prostate Cancer.

Thank you

I am reading all this banter and have not seen an apology to Dr. Robert of BR for your mean and schoolyard-like childish competitive/prideful comments. Getting along begins with burying the hatchet.

I am a loyal listener of BeatlesRadio.com for sure! I have also donated and bought items on their site to support them.

Did you know that Dr. Robert of BeatlesRadio.com is Welsh and has lived in the states for a long time? This explains the diminished brit accent. Not fake OK?

You seem all about business and advertising. Ads everywhere like graffiti and litter on the street. Your obnoxious player comes up on many Beatles sites automatically very loudly. You undoubtedly paid for that.

Your stream is not listenable for a long period of time due to all the ads that are about anything and everything and rarely with a Beatles theme. I turned you on once and started to hear a cool interview and then an ad popped up in the middle of John talking asking to click here to win a Nintendo Wii that muted John's comments! Ridiculous!

BeatlesRadio, like XM/Sirrus plays more great music and less ad garbage and their site is less commercial. Better sound too when you compare both 128k streams. More speed choices. Better!

John would be appalled how you schlock your wares under the umbrella of your love for the Beatles.

Oh, and one more thing. I read a few articles about BR starting on 9/9/1999. This is two years before your claim to fame.

Admit that BR is a good stream and less commercial, and apologize to Dr. Robert who is getting major surgery this weekend from what I heard on the stream this week.

His desire seems to truly keep the Beatles Alive and not get rich doing so. What do you have to say about that?]]> Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:48:57 PST http://www.musicouch.com/Genres/Oldies/Pat-Matthews-Rocks-the-Internet-with-Beatles-a-Rama.111529#comment163693 ]]> Thu, 12 Jun 2008 19:00:16 PST http://www.musicouch.com/Genres/Oldies/Pat-Matthews-Rocks-the-Internet-with-Beatles-a-Rama.111529#comment163689 ]]> Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:47:52 PST http://www.musicouch.com/Genres/Oldies/Pat-Matthews-Rocks-the-Internet-with-Beatles-a-Rama.111529#comment159471
Thanks for the article! (Finally getting around to reading it and wanted to send out kudos on a job well done.)

Surely it doesnt take a genius to work out that the streaming laws in the UK are even more drachonian than the US ones - so what you say doesnt even make sense.

Obviously you are sore about the Beatles Radio just having more listeners than you on Shout cast, but the answer is simple - if you're gonna run a Beatles station, then play the friggin' Beatles!

You can't break your US streaming artist separation rules a "little bit" (I've seen you call it "creative programming" in the past!) - the fact is you are breaking them - so you may as well go the whole hog and do what you say on the tin, rather than these half-measures, followed by flat attempts at self-publicity (such as this article).

You know what they say about starting to believe your own publicity, Pat! C'mon...]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:24:46 PST http://www.musicouch.com/Genres/Oldies/Pat-Matthews-Rocks-the-Internet-with-Beatles-a-Rama.111529#comment138482 ]]> Sat, 03 May 2008 01:03:29 PST http://www.musicouch.com/Genres/Oldies/Pat-Matthews-Rocks-the-Internet-with-Beatles-a-Rama.111529#comment136739 ]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:47:39 PST http://www.musicouch.com/Genres/Oldies/Pat-Matthews-Rocks-the-Internet-with-Beatles-a-Rama.111529#comment136582 dude! I was and still am listening to a far superior internet beatles site.
