There's a slew of them, but of course these five have to be there ( ):

"As the Crow Flies" by Steve Glotzer
"Coup DeVille" by Gerald Veasley
"Tortilla Flat" by Ralph Diekemper
"First View" by Steve Oliver
"Steps" by John Maellaro

I'm by no means instrumental-only, though.  I like plenty of vocal songs, too, including:

"Rumour Has It" by Adele
"Memories" by Elvis Presley
"Yesterday" by The Beatles
"What is Love" by Haddaway
"California Girls" by The Beach Boys

48° and cloudy, with winds N at 3 mph.  Rain is in the area once again, so it must be spring.

And I'm probably the only person here who says "I don't even care anymore."

It's not that I don't care

FWIW, I still care somewhat (not as much as I used to, granted).  Of course, I don't watch TWC nearly as much as I did in the '00s; my TWC-watching is primarily relegated to severe weather events or times when nothing else is on.  Now, if I had only a plain-Jane cable package in which TWC was the best available channel, then I suppose I would watch it a lot more.  Even if I don't like (or don't care about) some of the changes to the LFs, it's still an interesting "soap opera" of sorts nonetheless to see whether a K-flavor gets played or whether any instrumentals are played.

It's now $3.29 for me, but they say it's going to go up.  I hope they're wrong.

"Reach Out I'll Be There" by the Four Tops. I can't stand their singing, they sound drunk

Really?  I happen to like that one!    To each his own, though.

Programming and Graphics / Re: New show coming soon to TWC: Coast Guard Northwest

« on: March 25, 2013, 10:59:24 PM »

It's true that longform had already started by then in the form of "Storm Stories," but I would take that over any of the varying forms of "Lifeguard or Coast Guard [insert state]" that are on the channel today.

However, I do feel that one of these shows may be interesting to those living in the state(s) covered by it.  So, I guess I can't really say too much about it until they do a "Coast Guard Texas." (we do get hurricanes at times)

I concur with the above posters that every coastal state will eventually be included along with a few possible extras.

32° and sunny.  Winds SW at 3 mph.  This is an unusual early spring cold front, but I'll take it.

Nice porch you have here!  It's just right to enjoy the spring weather.     We're mainly going to be in the 60°'s and 70°'s for highs for the next seven days.  The overnight lows take a dive later on, though, ending up in the upper 30°'s.  At least that dreaded March wind has let up a little today.

DST is meh to me.    I would rather have light in the morning instead of at night, but that's just me.
