I noticed it too. The two new songs I heard were both vocal but maybe primetime will have some instrumentals like June. I was impressed with the overnight last month

Also I expect to hear John Williams's "Olympic Spirit."

This playlist is a big step in the right direction, and I like many of the songs this month. Jane Eyre and Proposed Solution are two of my all-time favorites  :smoke2:. Now, if only they could banish those vocals from the local forecasts (or what's left of them), especially Lady Gaga's songs  :club:.

TWC seems to be on the way up from a very low bottom. The music has been better from June onward, and other aspects of the precipitous decline have stabilized. They're still close to rock bottom and have a long way to go, but at least they're starting to move in the right direction. The only two songs that I've actually liked this entire year so far are Running Out of Time by Matthew Shuman (Apr 2012) and Deluge by Jeff Pearce (Jun 2012).

EDIT: I think the 2-minute flavors are back in the morning hours at least? Zach's clip was a 2 minute LF. It's the first I've seen of them since 90-second flavors became the longest flavor in late May.

Early Morning Riser and Sunshine are not overnight songs, IMO. Even if they are on the "just instrumentals" daypart. :no:

There were two vocal songs on overnight too -_-

Those are pretty good songs, IMO.

I know it's still 5+ months away, but I just HOPE that the holiday playlist will have all of the traditional songs that TWC plays every year.

Post by: twcfan68 on July 04, 2012, 11:46:39 AM
The holidays are indeed very far, but they I expect vocal holiday music with maybe a few traditional annual songs thrown in the mix.

I'm a fan of the "Sunshine" by Timbuk-3! Nice choice.

That's what I'm thinking too, would be a shame in a way if they did considering it's not a traditional 1 month + type of playlist, but I wouldn't be bothered by any vocals.

Looks like "Mihalis" by David Gilmour is on the overnight playlist but I recorded the overnight yesterday and I did NOT hear this song play. I wonder if it only played on the HD feed because I was recording SD at the time. :huh:

How are you sure its the same time? Because nowhere does it say overnight nor is the time given in that LF :no:

Post by: twcfan68 on July 07, 2012, 10:29:59 PM
I'll admit that I'm surprised "Olympic Spirit" isn't playing. It seems to fit with TWC's new taste in genre, and the Olympics are here, after all!

I heard a song on primetime that sounds similar to David Keen's "Sierra." I like both songs.

You would have to look at the maps and temps closely. The temps wouldn't drop to 63 at 10 pm given the high temps during the past few days ;)

They don't intermittently add songs like you say they do... They're all added at once, but maybe you're just hearing them for the first time. I've already explained this twice to you. :wacko:

You have to remember that the songs are played randomly throughout the month, so it's very easy to miss hearing what was added to a playlist if you only watch a few LFs per day.  They were all added at the start of the month as Zach said above.

I get what the both of you are saying. I'm just posting the first time I'm hearing the songs played if they have not been posted already.
They are not new to the playlist just new to me.

9:28am ET "Where the Boat Leaves From" Zac Brown Band.

That would be the lousiest Christmas ever, TWC-wise of course. It would be a real travesty. I'm generally not a fan of vocal music even for Christmas, with a few exceptions. They need a Christmas list like they had in 2010. 2011's list was subpar. However, there is still hope. After all, as late as September of last year the very existence of a Christmas playlist was questionable, given the L-bar situation, but they got rid of the L-bars before Christmastime rolled around. So there is time for improvement, though I wouldn't hold my breath.

Post by: Localonthe8s on July 09, 2012, 02:44:35 PM
I don't want to drift away from the topic of course but I agree about the Xmas 2010 list. That was an excellent Christmas playlist, with so many songs...(so many I couldn't even get all of the clips recorded). The Jeanne Ricks and Beach Street Music tunes stood out. I expect the Xmas 2012 list to be similiar to the past lists, it's just that they're gonna replace the jazzy songs with vocals (dunno if Vince Guaraldis tunes are that jazzy).
Title: Re: July 2012 Playlist
Post by: Zach on July 09, 2012, 02:48:48 PM
Many of the songs they used though were mainstream enough, such as Guaraldi's songs, and others, so I doubt that those would be touched.

Subpar? I thought both were fairly great. I actually liked the 2011 list better than the 2010 one. :yes:
