Today is a pretty awesome day.

Stemage said that I am allowed to put five of the tracks of the new unreleased Metroid Metal Varia Suite up for listening. Since there is no way to make only specific tracks of an album requestable at present, we've decided to make it a "game" of sorts. People will have to guess which tracks are available and request the right one. This could potentially cause a little bit of frustration but we hope everyone sees it as fun instead.

If the right track is requested, everything happens as it normally does. So, you're listening to the radio, the track comes up in the order requested, etc.

If one of the unavailable tracks is requested, it just....won't play.

But wait! Don't just go requesting the entire CD. Requests are throttled, and the radio keeps track of the most recently requested tracks, so people will need to request tracks other than the Varia Suite once the tracks have been aired so they will get pushed out of that "recent" list and be requestable again. This is to encourage people to:
- actually try out the feature
- keep listening to the radio
- listen to various different CDs, not just metroid metal (there's a decent handful of metroid-related material on the station if you need to get a fix)

After a little while, the entire CD will be available, or more tracks will become available each X weeks, or something.

Don't forget you can watch the radio playlist here.
