July 2009 Official Playlist

[Localonthe8s]

Is this the second time that "Flight" by Jim Weider hasn't aired in primetime yet? I recorded a few overnight songs and noticed the Seal song from morning and STS9 song from primetime on overnight and those weren't listed in the overnight portion of the playlist. I guess they booted 2 songs, hope it isn't the Jeanne Ricks or George Winston song.

I haven't watched TWC much lately, but the WORST song on this playlist, by far, is Rockit by Herbie Hancock.

I almost threw up when I heard it. I'm all for 80's Synthpop, but this one crosses the line. There's another bad song on here, mostly guitar, with a really generic melody, that's pretty bad too.

I'm confused. I thought there was going to be no more jazz? Yet the playlist has quite a bit of jazz (and newage)?

There was no mention of Smooth Jazz being permantly removed from the playlist, it was the addition of soft rock that was supposed to decrease the amount of smooth jazz used in the playlist though.

I think they removed a good non-jazz song in the primetime list, "Flight" by Jim Weider. I"m hearing a weird song at :58 that I don't recall hearing.

Yeah I haven't heard that song either. Same with Rain Daze. Wonder what happened?

Haven't heard Rain Daze or George Winston/Cleas' Day on overnight. I really wanted to record "Hummingbird" because I remember it from 1998 but I guess SOYCD by Pink Floyd will do..

I was up in Bad Axe this weekend (now in Alpena) and I recorded every playlist on the XL there in the thumb. Instead of recording every song I see, I am taking requests as to which songs to upload. Anyone have any requests? I will take PMs, replies to this post, or comments on my channel.

Rain Daze played at 5:18 this morning.

Daytime sucks. I don't like the new Ryan Farish or Chris Geith tune. And I haven't heard PWARS or Layla yet.

They are OK, but Diamond in the Sky sounds annoying. One Fine Day sounds good IMO, but kinda overplayed.

Does anyone find "Rockit" by Herbie Hancock a bit similiar to "happy Thoughts" by Coleman and Brown?

Yes - they are both horrible songs made on 80's synthesizers.

I like both of them. What's wrong with that beat made with the 80's synthesizer? I find it odd making those kind of songs unique and "video gamish".

[Gil]

Well first of all, the beat is not made with an 80's synthesizer. Though nothing is wrong with them, the execution is rather poor (IMO).

As do I. Rockit especially, since it is so catchy.
