[Mike M]

Yes, it's the same cut as all the other playlists it was used besides 9/09.

The rotation is horrendous, too much repetition

I'm glad it is, That was a horrible cut they used that month.

The rotation is horrendous, too much repetition 

It certainly is, there are a lot of songs I still have not heard play on this playlist yet. Maybe if they didn't have so many songs in the playlist or songs repeating in more than one daypart of the playlist it would rotate better.

I agree. Magnificent Eleven is overplayed. I think a way of combatting this is to let TWC run on DVD or VCR for a few hours, to see if you can catch your favorite songs.

I have not heard the Herb Alpert, Jill Switzer or Dreams of Ibiza by BIckley Rivera either

I've heard and recorded "Dreams of Ibiza", but only a 90 sec. cut of it.

I have heard the Herb Alpert song at least once. I think I heard it after Storm Stories or something like that. The problem is exacerbated with the long-form programming on weekday afternoons and especially on weekends from the afternoon until the overnight hours. You'll only get to hear 1 min of the songs play, not even on the 8s!!  I think that is when some of these unheard songs play.  The rotation needs to be tweaked very much, because there are a lot of quality songs throughout the playlist that should be played, but they are not. For instance, all I hear during most of the times I have turned during primetime is Magnificent Eleven, Eminence Front, and Diamond Eyes.

lol that's precisely the issue, the rotation is so bad that I only can hear the same songs over and over again. All I hear during daytime is Pan Funk , Diamond Eyes, Just Promise Me, Waiting for You and Take Me Away and in the primetime it's Diamond Eyes, Mag 11,Eminence Front and Beach Street Music song 1. The morning and overnight rotations however, are better.

Hopefully the rotation will get better this upcoming week, and we can hear more songs. I have been waiting to hear Jessica!!!!

Whoa Walk Dont Run by Herb Alpert just played I like it!

Whoa Walk Dont Run by Herb Alpert just played I like it!

Yeah, it is a very short song too. It is only 1:46, so it would only be used during the long-form programming.

Rendition of Aretha Franklin's Rock Steady played at :48!!  Who does that? That is a jam!!!

Richard Elliot. I enjoy music like that.

I got a Reply about the playlist expansion concept and why the songs are repeating at a rapid pace.

Hi Alex,
 
It is not an error, but I know what is happening.  The songs in question are definitely in the playlist, but they may not play as frequently.   We added 4 or 5 songs to each daypart this month to help cut down on repeating the same song back to back.   Of course, our system selects songs by local forecast length, so the additional tracks are only scheduled to play in the :60 and :90 locals (not the 2 minute locals).   We are still making adjustments to the mix so that these additional tracks will play more often.

Choosing my top two:

Morning:
Windjammer - Ryan Farish
Colortones - Ryan Farish

Daytime:
Take Me Away - Bickley Rivera 
Wishbone - Physical Therapy

Primetime:
Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson
Jessica - The Allman Brothers Band

Overnight:
BB King - The Thrill is Gone
In This Moment - Ryan Farish

Agreed! I love all of Ryan farish's music on this playlist, but number one song on this list is definately Cliffs of Dover. I actually haven't heard Jessica yet this month. I hope it's the September 2007 cut.

I have finally heard Jessica the last two nights.

Morning: Windjammer by Ryan Farish (best), Green onions (worst, needs a break)
Daytime: Pan Funk by Bickley Rivera (best, fits daytime, not on morning), Take me away (Vocals on jazz music= one ruined song, worst)
Primetime: Diamonds eyes (best, reason: jazz), tie between the 4 most repeated songs (Mag. 11, Emeciene, Cliff of Dover, grew tired of it, and Yet Unknown, does not sounds like Trance Fury at all. this is hate i rock music)
Overnight: Sacrifice by SounDoctrine (best), no worst songs.

Morning: Alright. 8/10
Daytime: best as usual. No rock songs. 10/10.
Primetime: Dissapointing. Rotation is annoying and I kept hearing the same 4 songs (that are my least favorite) over and over. 2 better changes: starts primetime at 6PM, and less rock, more jazz. 2/10
Overnight: 2nd best. 9/10
