There have been a lot of rumors of this highly controversal topic but I found an article that says that TWC will have a music cd now that they are licensed.http://www.reuters.com/article/musicNews/idUSN2218266820070623 TWC also plays much of the music from music packages, something I hadn't known before.
-
Yeah I heard about this awhile ago. I won't be buying it though. In my opinion the selections they've decided to put on the cd absolutley suck.
-
The CD should feature unavailable artists, like Jeanne Ricks, Kim Hansen, Yvonne Ayers, Samuel Lincoln, etc.

But it won't. That's one reason I hate it. The other is that it features nothing but tunes from this decade. Where's all the 90's music? :rolleyes:
-
Wait... Is there a track list out for the CD already?
-
Yeah I'm pretty sure someone posted one in the thread on TWCC about the cd.

I don't see anything about it in the thread (http://www.twcclassics.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7350) that Tyler started about the CD.
-
Maybe it was just someone speculating about what they thought was going to be on it then.
-
When I emailed Jeanne Ricks regarding Simple Pleasure, she said the CD would feature music from "lesser known" artists.
-
And if Jeanne Ricks knows what's going to be on the CD's, then that means that its probably going to be mostly recent music. <_<
-
What I'd like to see is two separate CDs. One for newer, lesser-known musicians with more modern TWC music. Then another CD, kind of like a "best-of" type of deal with classic 80s and 90s music.
-
IMO, TWC needs to release 3 cd's-Best of The 80's, Best of The 90's, and best of the 2000's. This way, they satisfy everyone's preference.
-

That's a good idea. That way, people can get what they really want. If they prefer current music, they can get that CD. If they prefer classic music, they can get that CD. B)
-
If they said what songs were on it, i might buy it.

Or both!
-
How can you get any 'lesser-known' than what is playing now????? Most of us have never heard of these 'artists'...
-
Actually, TWC uses quite a few artists that are classified as mainstream, or artists whose music you can purchase by simply going to amazon.com or your local music retailer. On the other hand, the lesser known artists are usually much harder to find (if its possible, some can't be found), and are usually "indie" or independent artists as opposed to mainstream. These artists often operate through BMI, in which case its quite difficult to get their music.

And then there's artists like Michael Ripoll and Randall Chowning, whose music isn't available commercially AND isn't on BMI.

Yeah, thats what I meant when I said (if they even can be found, and some can't be found).
-
Boy, a CD with the earlier and recent music would be great. I'll probably buy the CD if the tracks are good. If lesser known artists are to be featured, then maybe the two mystery jungle songs will be there from November. :), provided there are song samples. But I just have one question, are the songs going to be edited to 2 minutes or are they going be their full lengths? :huh:

I would imagine that they would HAVE to be full length, otherwise it really wouldn't make sense to release a cd of sample length songs. :no:
-
Just a reminder for everyone: Kyle (wxmancanada), ot the best of my knowlege, is still doing the "unavailable music feed".
So you can still request those unavailable songs from BMI, and he'll get them and play them on his feed.

I think I may have asked for the longest list for him to play. :-[

Here is a link to an article about the TWC cd's. Apparently one is going to have smooth jazz, the other what they call "instrumental classic rock". Yuck.
http://www.reuters.com/article/musicNews/idUSN2218266820070623 (http://www.reuters.com/article/musicNews/idUSN2218266820070623)
And here's another little piece I found about the cd. It also mentions that there's also apparently going to be some DVD's released as well.

-
Whatever they release, I'm going to buy. Don't care whats on it or how much it costs, im getting it :D :P
-
That's kinda dumb. But let me make sure I understand. Your going to purchase it no matter what, just for the heck of purchasing it? That doesn't seem to make sense. :huh:
-

Doesnt make sense, but yes, Iwill.
-
Suit yourself. Personally, I don't believe in buying ANYTHING just to buy it.
-
Personally, I hope it gets released to iTunes as well. This way, I can pick and choose the songs I want (rather than the whole CD)...unless the whole CD is cheaper.

That would be an awesome idea, but i doubt they'll do that :(

Honestly I don't see why they wouldn't.

you dont like instruemental classic rock music Gary? :P its not that bad
-

It's not that I don't like instrumental classic rock. I don't like ANY type of classic rock ON TWC. I'm a big classic rock fan, but classic rock doesn't belong on TWC. :no:
-
I like instrumental rock, anyplace. I really dig the Phish, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton stuff TWC has played. :yes:
-
Instrumental rock has no place on a channel like TWC. TWC just isn't the right venue for that kind of music.

Well, thats your oppinion :yes:
-
And the opinion of every other classic rock fan age 21 or older. Being played on TWC absolutley degrades the genre. Not that TWC is bad, its just not a classic rock venue.

You're right. But think about it. How often do they play classic rock? not very often. thereve only been a few incidents where this has happened.
-
The fact is, it happened regardless of how often.
-
The fact is, it happened regardless of how often.
Yah. but when it only happened less than 5 times, I wouldn't use that to call TWC a "Classic rock venue"

I'm not saying that TWC IS a classic rock venue. I'm saying it IS NOT, and that classic rock should not be played on that channel at all.
And I've looked through the playists and there are over 2 dozen playlists on which classic rock tunes were played. So don't try to tell me this 5 times bs.
-
When was the last classic rock tune played? Pink Floyd back in Oct/Nov 2006?
-
Yah, i think so. Those were good songs :D
-
Yeah that sounds about right. 8)
-
Did anyone have a video featuring "One Of These Days" played back in Novemember?
-
Not that I've seen. :no:

YES!!!! :D! B)!
-
Run Like Hell and One of these Days are two good PInk Floyd songs.
-
I think I gave that video to Gary to put on the site. Wonder why it isn't there. :-\
-

Yes, they are great. B) Now if they would just play Money, thatd be awesome. But there isnt a long enough non-vocal
part in that song to play :(
-
Maybe they can play Money with a little vocal in it but that would sound kind of awful, don't you think?

It would have to be in primetime, where theres no vocal LF.
-
Yup
-
When I emailed Jeanne Ricks for the billionth time asking for Simple Pleasure, she sent me a possible track listing. I'll see if I can find it again to post. It didn't feature that many unavailable songs, but Simple Pleasure was on it!
-
Can you post it! Is The River on it as well?
-
Can you post it! Is The River on it as well?
Nope, The River is not on it. I remember very well. I'm still looking. It's somewhere on my computer! But keep in mind it's only a possiblilty of what will be on one of the CD's.
-
Does anyone know the track listing for the Weather Channel Presents: Best of Smooth Jazz album? It has a release date for October 9. If anyone knows the track listing for the Best of Rock Music then that would be helpful too.
-
Thunder, if anyone knew it I'm sure they'd share it. 8)
-
Not really some people might be too lazy or may not feel like sharing it. You can't always read the mind of people. I'm seeing the CD being sold in Amazon, CD universe, Barnes and Noble but it has no track listing or CD music sample. What's the point of not having a track listing?
-
I can promise you, that it will have Simple Pleasure on it. Jeanne Ricks would have to give TWC permission to put it on the CD.
-

I agree.
-
I can promise you, that it will have Simple Pleasure on it. Jeanne Ricks would have to give TWC permission to put it on the CD.
Will The River be on the TWC CD or will it be in Jeanne's New Cd that has it's release date being pushed further and further?

I'm a little unsure on that one. It will most likely be on her CD.
-
Guys. Do you have any idea where you can find the Trammell songs? Last FM has it but it does not play there. Anywhere available to play the full version?
-

You can buy the three CD set directly from Trammell for $25. Search around, and you will find the address. :)
-
I know that, it's just that I wish the Trammell Starks songs used on TWC should be played on a music website. Seriously
-
Well unfortunately they're not .:no:
-
Yeah! I know that! Somehow I wish I bought his CD set, but I can't do that, because I think that's a strange thing to do. My parents won't let me do it though. I could get it if I am older and send him the money for his CD's when I earn money at work

What's strange about it? :shocked:
-
What's strange is that my parents are saying that I should not send checks or money, because for some reason they might think it's fraud, but I am not sure on that.
-
I don't understand why they'd think that. :wacko:
-
I don't know. Let's get back on topic
-
I'm capable of running the show around here Krishnan. :sunglasses:

Your parents think sending money through the mail is fraud? How do they pay their bills? :wacko:
-
probably online
-

You can't pay everything that way. :no:

well my dad pays a lot of his bills online

You can't pay everything that way.

I was watching my local Fox affiliates 10:00 news tonight and they had a story about the TWC CD! Unfortunately though they didn't make any comment about sites like this and TWCC. I bet they would've though if they knew that there was one that is run and operated locally. :yes:

I doubt they would do that. Unless he lives in a small town where nothing happens. And IIRC, he lives in Baltimore, so...

well it would be cool to see your face on TV!

Wow, are you in a bad mood today? Or just not crazy about something I've said or done? You've made two (so far-I haven't been through everything) posts that really fry me. <_<
Anywho, I think they WOULD do it. I've been watching Fox45 for the last 15 years, so I think I'd have a better feeling than you for what they would do.
-
Just found an interesting article regarding TWC's CD. Here is the link: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hThwJkJ1kM2ydUDMdd0MzG2O10ewD8T3JU5G4 (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hThwJkJ1kM2ydUDMdd0MzG2O10ewD8T3JU5G4). The last few sentences in particular were interesting. Apparently there are more CD's in the works. :thrilled:
-
wow a lot of interesting things in the article!

I just said it doesn't sound like something a major TV station would do a news story on. I never said you shouldn't do it or that I knew your station better than you did. So I'm not sure why you equated me having an opinion with me having a problem with you. :wacko:
-
You just seem to be trying your hardest to get under my skin today. As of the time of this post, there are about a half dozen posts so far today that I dislike. That number will keep rising, I'm sure.

Hey I was in Toronto last week, we had a somewhat busy news day and we aired a "follow up" story about a kid who had a dissability from last year and how he likes to be a dare devil with his chair. Gary, I'd contact em! :sunglasses:

Not to worry. Despite the naysayers, the thought has never left my mind. :sunglasses:

:lol: Well, it is pretty easy. All I have to do is put the words "my site" in a post or disagree with something you say and you get all fired up.
-
Yup, when those words are followed or preceded by others like "Its already been discussed on", or "We've already talked about on". There's no quicker way to earn my disrespect than my belittling my site with your own. I wouldn't do that to you. I mean, stand on my side for a moment. What message would it send to you if someone continually put down your discussions by saying they've already discussed it on their site? Or continually put down your ideas. You might not realize it, but thats the way 75%+ of your posts are.
-
has anyone bought the cd? I went to Borders the other day with my cousin and figured I'd buy it. haha I went through all 7 pages, but didn't come across a list of the songs on it, but they are:
1. - Shakin' The Shake by Dave Koz
2. - The Gift by 3rd Force
3. - Ocean View by Pieces of a Dream
4. - Holding Hands by Ryan Farish
5. - Windows by Chick Corea
6. - Mildred Attraction by Joyce Cooling (music played on LF opener)
7. - Sidewayz by Najee
8. - Bad, Bad Samba by Paprika Soul
9. - Wait a Minute by Mark Krurnowski
10. - Simple Pleasures by Jeanne Ricks
11. - Viaduct by Four 80 East
12. - Santa Monica Triangle by Jeff Lorber
-
1. is actually Shakin' the Shack
-
I bought it the day it came out.
I took some picture of the actual CD... http://billy.mozfaq.org/twc/cd/
-
I bought mine at Barnes and Noble's about a week or so after it came out.
-
I wish whomever chooses the songs on the CDs would put the more harder-to-get songs, like Samuel Lincoln. :( I guess there's hope if another CD is coming out.
-
For those of you who have a Yahoo Launchcast radio station, they've add TWC's CD. :thrilled:
-
nice!
-
Very nice! Thanks for taking time to let us know of that!! :sunglasses:
