actually this whole video-log thing is taking too much ram for my browser.. I want to listen but am having trouble. #citypagesfail. =\

with 16 embedded videos you can't expect every browser and system to render them all, especially my 8 year old laptop. the SERPs highly rank page load time as well.

sounds like a #minneapolismusicfail

Mpls Music .com

sounds like #youdontknow what you're talking about. with 20 embedded videos you can't expect every browser or laptop to render them all efficiently. it's called usability... and page load times, of which the SERPs highly rank by. so if you want to grow a pair and not be anonymous you could mail me, mike [at-] mplsmusic.com if you have something real to say, instead of being a whiner. just sayin. I'll be glad to listen to these when I can, and when I'm not on my 8 yr old laptop. -- or if you have something relative to the topic at hand go right ahead. ok peace.

Now that I see this, I learned something about you guys. if the poll was Click to Video, it would make more sense. I couldn't find any of the music online, say facebook, as in aka self-promotion-- but I will listen to this. -- you know Media isn't always the answer... videos are cool but talking to fans is even cooler.. just sayin' =)
