I'm disappointed but not surprised in the least. It sounds like there won't even be anymore of Ryan Farish on the list if what they say about the instrumentals is true. Even during severe weather I suppose we'll hear vocal music if that pans out.
Now, I'm not opposed to the music that they've played this year in and of itself, as some of it is good music. However, there should be a distinction drawn between "good music" and "good music for LOT8's." The two are not mutually inclusive IMHO. It makes me wish that there was a way to set up my DirecTV box to take the audio from Sonic Tap Smooth Jazz whenever a LF comes up. It wouldn't be perfect, but it may well be better than what we have now.
On the topic of the May playlist, I wonder if it will continue after the Storm Alert-esque mode ends. Will it instead be time for the June playlist? I note that I'm making this post on the first day of a month. I used to look forward to the first of the month back in the day. Not much reason now, though...
