I wonder...

...how many players are part of two or even three indy bands listed here?

After all, some surely listed themselves, and then eventually went inactive. Happens all the time.

1. What would you like to say to our 20,000th artist? Be good!

2. Any advice to offer? See answer to #1

Seriously though, this is excitingly awesome news. I mean it's pretty insane to see the growth of this place in terms of new user names popping up here. But to think that we have new bands by the handfuls every week is just as exciting.

And while it seems at times like there's a special club you need to be part of to comment (as a new user) or be played (as a new band), if you just dive into the pool here, you will find that the water is the perfect temperature, and that this is probably the best community you'll ever be part of.

We welcome you with open arms!

Bro-Hug time!

I say in honour of their induction on this show today the 20 000th artist should have the privilege of providing us with a live rendering of the Wenzdee song.

It can be somewhat personalizd as long as they retain the sanctity of the original.

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by aaadamaa

This seems really risky. Making all this hype about a band who's just joined NMC. Like, it's not a band just getting into the scene, it's a band that's just starting to get into the very begining of where bands start. It's like, giving your new born a science kit after he pops out of the woumb, and telling them to go solve climate change.

This should be exciting :)

On another note, my mom has started listening to CBC Radio 3 (ever since I got the Bucky nod) and often e-mails me with comments about the stie/music. I wonder if I'll get one today aout this?

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by Bio Spice

is there an actual way to track how many blog comments one has made? or do you tick it off, jail-cell style, on the wall by your desk at work? or do you have an inside track?

all that aside, yes, that is remarkable.

and this Wilderness of Manitoba song is super fab. are these people from Manitoba (asks the Manitoban)?

CBC Radio 3 has a band presence that is ~1/10th the population of PEI so a signifigant fraction of a province.

28

@someone who can math

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by aaadamaa

What's the minimum number of people, so that all possible combinations of them (such as each on their own. Then all possbile combinations of pairs, then possible combinations of trios) result in at least 20,000.

So, if you had 3 artists, you could have 7 possible bands?

I have a feeling Canada might be taking this approach.

29

@aaadamaa

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by themountainsandthetrees

To be fair, i should point out that I know a few very established bands arund here who don't have a CBC Radio 3 page, but are in the process of setting one up, so you never know who will be the 20 000th artist...

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by fumblebee

Oh and if people can be in any number of band you actually only need 8 people to make 20,000 bands. In fact 8 people could make over 40,000 bands (8!) if they all appeared in a different order. Now it is slightly more complicated if you can only have certain people play certain instraments and only have certain numbers of people in bands,

(Damn, tmatt, hard not to put spaces in your handle!)

I'm betting against Nickelback being the 20,000th artist. (Incidentally, who was it named Nickleback the most significant band of the 2000s? Yesterday, 'twas.)

Oooh, change of subject: Fark, as to names for the 2000s: they say we should call it The Dorkade.

Good Morning!

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by boders

Sweet!!!, the other day Lana's show (I think...) was asking what we use to wake up in the morning. I said "Usually my cell phone, but sometimes I'll set my webradio link to R3 to start playing at a certain time..." A perfect Wenzdee to wake up to a darnn happy sounding Craig announcing the 20000th artists on R3 mark passed...20000 is a pretty sweet, round, base 10 construction of a number to celebrate! And I rolled over to the blog BEFORE work, so even more fun...there isn't a whole thread to need to read when I roll into work. Hope that everywhere that needs some snow gets it and that everywhere that needs a cold snap break gets it too (It's currently 8C and raining in Vancouver..)

53

@Benoit

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by fumblebee

That is taken into account with the figure of 8. It's all possible unique permutations of 8 people. 7 gives slightly too few. 7.7 is pretty close but obviously you need a whole number of people.So yes, the members of BSS could more than make up all of the bands on R3.

54

@fumblebee and Benoit

It doesen't matter what they play. if abc switch instruments and become acb, it still only counts as one.

My commenting prowess (aka verbal diarrhea) is so legendary, it's been made light of a couple times. There isn't a place where you can find that stat as a user. Which really is kind of a good thing, cause I'm kind of embarrassed when I see the stat.

Wilderness of Manitoba are from Toronto, and are AWESOME. I have their latest release, and it was pimped to me as Canada's Fleet Foxes. And I have to say, that was a pretty spot on comparison. Definitely worth the listen!

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by gregory.paradis

Actually, one person can start as many musical projects as they like, with or without collaborating with others. Therefore, the minimum number of people required to form 20000 bands is 1... but that answer sucks, and is no fun at all.

More closely related to your original posting, any given pair of musicians can form 2 bands; it depends who is leading the project, and who is composing the songs. This extends to any size group of musicians. I assume here that you can swap around the roles of any non-lead musicians without forming a new band. On this basis, I propose the following 12 valid combinations, assuming 3 musicians (A, B, C):

A

B

C

AB

BA

BC

CB

CA

AC

ABC

BAC

CAB

@the mathematicians...

63

also @aaadamaaa regarding death avengers

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by mynameismoe

i WISH it was them! oh that would be so great.

there has been absolutely no talk about it, though. i would assume that the artist/band in question would need to be contacted before-hand, and that is a secret not easily kept in charlottetown.

mind you, i have sort of been in hiding the past week, so, i may just be too far out of the loop.

64

@aaadamaa

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by fumblebee

well you shoulda said that.

In that case you can use binary to simulate the number values. Since you need a way to represent at least 20,000 separate cases. In your {a,b,c} example you can use 3 bits. So the permutations are

000 (but we discard that one)

001

010

011

100

101

110

111

so you need 2^3 or three people to make 7 bands so to make 20,000 you need at LEAST that many vaules. So to make 20,000 unique bands you need 15 people (2^15 is 32,768).

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by boders

How many individual artists are on R3 now..sure 20000+ performing entities..but the population would be how many entries the 'members' table contain..so Scott Muc or someone other big brain in the back end..what's that number..then we can get some good city comparisons going!

R3 artist counter freeze conspiracy + question for #20000

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by gregory.paradis

They froze the R3 artist counter at 19987 on the home page last Friday. I mined Google and did a regression on the (remarkably) linear artist rate of change data trend.

The result: I predict that number 20000 signed up a 16:21 on December 13, 2009.

I have 2 questions for #20000:

(a) What date/time did you sign up?

(b) Was the timing deliberate, or accidental?

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by MikeV

Listen I will say this once and for all.

I don't think there is another song out there that tackles the topic of it being Wednesday quite so powerfully and provocatively than Craig's "It's Wenzdee." It's hard hitting social commentary at its best. Plus it even has it's own amazing remix.

I don't back down from this position. Not now, not ever.

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by Absotively

Yeah. I guess I could list them:

1. The recently played and upcoming lists display near the top of the page, and opening them scrolls the page up. This will probably annoy me and get fixed first, but that still might take a month or so.

2. The list of web radio stations and the tracklisting in playlist mode display near the top of the page, but opening it doesn't scroll the page, which is almost more annoying. This will probably get fixed at the same time as the above, because it's similar.

3. In playlist mode, the track progress thingy is too wide. This may never get fixed, because I rarely listen to playlists while reading blog posts, plus it's only slightly annoying.

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by curls

My advice to the 20,000 artist is to remember to update their music on the site. It is a sad event when you know that an artist has new music out and yet not even one new song appears on their R3 site.

Also, eat cookies.

I enjoy listening to the R3-30 playlist (from the link on the mainpage) but it would be kinda nice if we could listen to it in countdown order. When you play the playlist it starts at number 1! No suspense at all. Is there some way to do this that I don't know about?

I live diagonally across the road form a supermarket, so I'll often go over and pick-up a meal when I'm working from home. More often than not, drivers turning right never check to see if the pedestrian signal is on and it's very irritating/dangerous.

Congratulations to #20,000. You have joined a pretty remarkable community of creative talent that is the heart and soul of this country....well at least the heart. R3 is the place to be to get edumucated about all things musical that top 40 radio can NEVER offer. No pablum here.

My advice would be to get your moms to sign up as R3 listeners so she/they can stay on top of any chatter about your progress. And she/they can also pimp you here. :o)

@gregory.paradis

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by Steve Pratt

Hey Gregory,

There's a couple of reasons we froze the band total on Friday - one of which is mildly embarassing!

The first reason is that we didn't want to stop bands signing up because they were too far away from 20,000 to make it. We thought that once we announced a prize and publicity associated with the milestone, some people might try to game the system or hold off signing up until it was 19,999 bands.

The second reason is the lame one - the Q & Hopefully A show with Vish talking about the 20,000th artist was taped last week when I was in Toronto - but it only aired Monday (we're having to pre-tape some shows in advance to deal with holidays). When we taped the show, I think there were still roughly 40 artists needed to sign up to reach 20k, so we figured we were safe for a few days. However, as signups picked up last week, we panicked because if we went over 20k before the show aired, all the references to 'we're approaching 20k' would make no sense. And to top it off, we couldn't re-tape the entire show. So we decided to wait to update the counter until after Monday and the show had aired. (Clearly, we could have used your graphing / statistical prowess to help us better estimate exactly when we'd reach the milstone! ha ha)

Finally, by having it hidden, we could indeed protect ourselves in case the 20,000th band was a cover band, not Canadian, etc. Luckily, that wasn't a problem and I think you'll all be thrilled to see who the artist is and listen to some of their tracks.

How's that for a LONG and convoluted explanation?

Thanks for digging into 'The Mystery of the Frozen Radio 3 Artist Counter' (originally aired on Scooby-Doo in early 1980s...)

I think visual data rules, too!

We're actually going to be working with a REALLY talented data-visualization guru in the new year to take a lot of the data about the music and usage of music on the R3 site and try to make it more useful. I'm kind of nerding out thinking about the possibilities of it.

I'm guessing there probably won't be much to see until late winter, but we'll be working with a very talented guy to come up with some cool visualization ideas. Stay tuned...

There is, indeed, a Pasadena, NL. I grew-up there just shy of the beach. It was a wonderful place to be a child, but horrible as a teenager (unless you liked drinking a lot, which I did not). Thankfully I discovered music (drums, more specifically), and that's the end of that story...

Oh! It's also dubbed "Crown of the Valley," as in Humber Valley.

Nan: So, mom said you were #3 on Canadian radio and were up for a Bucket award?

My folks came out to St. John's (780km drive) just to see Jill release her EP (Bird & Bear) and us open for Billy Bragg. They got home before us that night and had an inflatable guitar balloon for Jill and a card for me saying they were happy I'm doing what I love.

I just saw your (long!) counter freeze posting (#125)... must have scrolled right past it earlier (I was trying really hard to concentrate on the graphs I am really supposed to be working on).

Outstanding... I knew there were shenanigans involved! I originally mined Google data because I wanted to try to be number 20000 (just for shits and giggles) last Friday, before any prize was announced. Then I got distracted. Then I heard Vish announce a prize on Monday morning, and finished my graph, and realized that I was (probably) too late, and that I had stumbled on a counter freeze conspiracy on my hands.

I really do feel like I am in a Scooby Doo episode now. I still cannot believe you would admit to your counter freeze shenanigans so readily. Only on CBCR3. This restores my hopes that love and truth will prevail in the end.

Just remember: the data visualizers are watching you...

Love your Nan's "Bucket Award". Casey's grandma is kind of like that too. She's happy for their success but she's only seen them perform once (The Polaris Show). She watched the whole thing and made comments about every performer (of course she loved Joel Plaskett and was horrified at Fucked Up) but at the end said "well that's nice.....do a lot of people like this kind of music?" She's 93 so I have to give her a pass.

No, the new website has never gone to the place you were. But if you clicked the "newest comments" link at the top, it will scroll to the newest comment after refreshing.

Yup, those are the symptons, except just then, it went back to normal. I blame the ghost of NMC.

Firefox refresh jump

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by Benoit from Ottawa

Isn't there a tendency for this to occur the "first time"? As in the first time after a complete page refresh, or a re-grab from a bookmark?

I have just finished listening to all the tracks on JSY's artist page. I enjoyed it very much.

I will be stalking itunes for the release and buy the album.

Refresh

Posted on Dec 16, 2009 by Absotively

Here's more specifically what I see for refreshing: after you click the refresh link, it goes to the last part of the page you followed a link to.

If you clicked the blog post title on the main page, that link took you to the top of the page, and that's where you'll end up after refresh.

If you clicked the "Oldest Comments" link or the comments link in the blog post, that took you to the top of the comments, so refreshing will leave you back at the top of the comments.

If you clicked the "Newest Comments" link, that took you to the last comment, and you will go to the last comment after you refresh. This is probably near where you were, but not quite there.

I have never seen the new site take me to right where I was after I use the refresh link. It often takes me to the last comment (because I used the newest comments link), and that's often close to where I was (because I usually used the refresh link at the bottom), but that's as close as I've seen it get.
