Weather Channel CD

[CookevilleWeatherGuy]

How can you get any 'lesser-known' than what is playing now?????  Most of us have never heard of these 'artists'...

[lfmusiclover]

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?

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.

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.

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

[lfmusiclover]

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.

Doesnt make sense, but yes, Iwill.

[lfmusiclover]

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
