Weather Channel Presents: Best of Smooth Jazz II

[beanboy89]

So the CD is set to be released today. Anyone going to go and buy it? I was planning on getting it at Wal-Mart, but I checked their website and it says it's not available in stores. I guess I'll have to check at FYE (the only other place around that sells CDs) to see if they have it; according to their website, it's in stock, but I don't know if it will actually be in store.

I'm gonna buy it.

FYE probably won't have it. The ones here don't have a really good selection of jazz music, and they do a horrible job at organizing their shelves. Are there any book stores (like Borders or Barnes & Noble) in your area? If so I'd check there. They have a good variety of jazz music including a lot of songs featured on TWC. B&N is where I purchased the first TWC CD.

I got the first CD at my local Wal-Mart, but they no longer have a jazz music section.

I plan to get the CD at Best Buy when I go Thursday...they had a couple of copies of the first one in stock.

[Localonthe8s]

I have no intentions on getting the CD currently as I have all but 2 songs in that CD.

Correct, FYE didn't have it, nor did they have the first TWC CD. There are no other places around here to get CDs at other than FYE or Wal-Mart.

Same; I got the first one the day it came out at Wal-Mart. I went to both Wal-Marts in town, neither had it. BTW, when I was at the other Wal-Mart in town (the one I don't work at), they were playing an Epic Conditions segment on the TVs. Why do they play that, but don't have the TWC CD?

That Wal-Mart is better than mine...they don't even render the HD video in HD on the TVs.  They pump the video in SD there.

Just get it off the internet. It's the cheapest, easiest, and most effective way to get things these days.

Update:  On Thursday, after I got my Wii ( ), I went to Borders to get my copy of the CD.  It took almost half and hour and some gentle harrasing of the staff (NOT Bob Stokes-style) to go to the back and check...and I got a copy.  Overall, I'm pleased with the CD, a good mix of classic songs/artists (Rippingtons, Eric Marienthal) and new stuff (Lorber, Williams, Joesph).

What's interesting is the liner notes...three OCMs give quotes - Carl Parker, Betty Davis of PM Edition, and Kim Perez of Weekend Now.

I also like the cover and images used in this set...better than some random person standing there.

They're starting to advertise this CD today. They just showed a new LOT8s opener for it.

[lfmusiclover]

Wow, they waited long enough, didn't they? 

[Localonthe8s]

So they're going to play the CD music all month?

[lfmusiclover]

That's usually how the playlists work, isn't it? 

[Alejandro]

last time for the 1st cd they played it for 2 weeks before the new playlist started

[lfmusiclover]

Well I guess we'll have to see how it goes this time.  :sunglasses:
