Localonthe8s, I agree with your worst songs list on YouTube. That cut of Jessica was so crappy and sloppy. I totally forgot about White Castle Blues!!! That was terrible. Green Onions and What I Got aren't bad songs, but it got really annoying hearing them for nearly half of 2010!!! 
Ugh, and Marrooned sounds like scratching on a chalkboard!

Local Forecast / Re: Top (and worst) LF songs/playlists of the year
« on: December 28, 2010, 07:06:06 PM »I already posted my top 20 songs on YouTube. Here are my 10 worst favorite songs:
Ryan Farish - Clouds of Heaven (probably THE worst song, so repetitive and the overuse of guitar is annoying)
Miles Davis - Freddie Freeloader
John Williams - Olympic Spirit
John Williams - Jurassic Park theme
Ryan Farish - Let it Rain
Booker T and the MGs - Green Onions
Issac Hayes - Shaft
Lynn Patrick - Snapshot
Sam Spence - Magnificent Eleven (good song at first but got old fast)
Allman Brothers - Little Martha
Shaft was good, just overused. I actually liked Little Martha, for the morning. Here are my 10 worst:
John Williams – Indiana Jones Theme
John Williams - Olympic Spirit
John Williams - Jurassic Park theme
Sam Spence - Magnificent Eleven
Allman Brothers - Jessica (horrendous cut)
Pure Prairie League - Early Morning Riser
Boney James - Touch
Boney James - Stone Groove
Clash - Time is Tight (way overused since 2009)
Monoliths - Maserati
BONUS: Anything by Gooding except For Love
There are plenty more worst songs. I'll post them soon.

Here are my other 10 favorite LF Songs, in no order:
Charley Langer - Never the Same (Oct/Nov)
Caleb Quaye - Out of the Blue (Mar/Apr)
Michael Haggins - Diamond Eyes (Aug/Sept)
Booker T - Warped Sister (Mar/Apr)
Bickley Rivera - Take Me Away (Aug/Sept)
Gooding - For Love (Aug/Sept, Dec/Jan)
David Benoit - Botswana Bosa Nova (June/July)
Steve Oliver - Barcelo (June/July)
Pink Floyd - Terminal Frost (June/July)
Billy Preston - Outa Space (Dec/Jan)
Overall, I would give this year 7/10. The daytimes were consistently very good to great, because of the smooth jazz. Primetime were almost always terrible, except for Aug/Sept and Dec/Jan. Mornings (save the rock songs) and overnights were usually fair to very good. Hopefully, 2011 will have less repeats, more jazz in the primetime, and no playlists lasting 12-14 weeks, which has happened a few occasions.

General Discussion / RIP Teena Marie
« on: December 26, 2010, 10:37:42 PM »
Teena Marie, who was a legendary white R&B singer passed away. I just saw it on CNN. Man she was only 54. I can't believe it. Here is the full story:
(CNN) -- Teena Marie, a celebrated R&B singer-songwriter, was found dead Sunday at her California home, her manager said.
Born Mary Christine Brockert in Santa Monica, California, the 54-year-old artist famously paired with late funk legend Rick James and was nominated four times for a Grammy Award, according to her official website.
Marie was found dead by her daughter after apparently dying in her sleep, manager Mike Gardner said.
"Teena was a black voice trapped in a white body," said Cathy Hughes, founder of Radio One, a broadcasting company that targets African-American and urban listeners. "I would always tell her that she was one of the greatest vocalists of our time."
Among her songs were "Lovergirl," "Portuguese Love," "Ooo La La La," and "I'm a Sucker for Your Love."
While no cause of death has been released, the singer's publicist Lynn Jeter said that Marie suffered a grand mal seizure -- a neurological event, marked by loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions, according to the Mayo Clinic -- a month ago.
"Luckily, someone was there," Jeter said of that seizure. "The ambulance took her to the hospital, and on the way she had another seizure."
The publicist said that she had a "great" conversation on Saturday with Marie, who told her that she was excited about heading to Atlanta to perform this week -- in what would have been her first performance since the seizure.
Marie sang under various record labels, including Motown, Epic and Cash Money Classics, since bursting on the scene as a 19-year-old, according to her website. Her most recent album, Sapphire, features collaborations with Smokey Robinson, Kurupt and Gerald Albright.
Eddie Levert, founder of the vocal group The O'Jays, praised Marie as both a singer and mother.
"There are a lot of black people who swore by her and believed in her, as far as her music was concerned," he said. "She was a good mom, and to me, that is saying a lot.''

None of you may believe this, but I am listening to the theme song to Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego by Rockapella. .gif "lgh (21)")
I just ramdomly thought of it today. Brings back all sorts of memories growing up.

« on: December 23, 2010, 04:39:35 PM »
My favorite playlists are the March playlist and current Dec/Jan 2011? list. Those playlists had good indie songs and good repeats worth listening again. The rest of the playlists were either alright or terrible, since most of them had rock/pop songs that I could care less about or had repeats that were played over and over again (Viva Las Vegas, Rhapsody in White, Jessica, Green Onions, etc). We only had 7 lists this year and most of them except for the March and the August playlists (to some extent) had too many repeats. The worst was the June list. It was mainly a list with recycled songs and most of them were not worth hearing again either like Layla, In Your Own Sweet Way and Frail. I think 2011 will look to be the same music-wise but hopefully more indie jazz plays like this year!
I didn't mind Layla, because Layla is basically an annual TWC summer tradition, and has been so since 2001. Rhapsody in White is also a good song. But the others, yes, there were songs that played way too much.

Mar/Apr, Aug/Sept and the Dec/Jan playlists are the best playlists of 2010 and it is not even close. The rest were mediocre to poor. What really weakens the playlists is the primetime section, and its complete aversion to jazz. They have been bad with all of the repeats and weird songs. Plus, the length of some of the playlists as been annoying too. For instance, the October playlist started late September, and ran into early December. Also the April playlist ran into mid-to-late June, and the January playlist ran into early March. It gets boring and annoying to hear playlists run three months straight. I hope 2011 will be bi-monthly or just monthly playlists only.
These are my 10 favorite LF songs, in no particular order:
Anthony James Baker - What If...
The Whispers - Rock Steady
Marty Q - Table for 2
Michael J. Thomas - 30-A Degrees
Brian Bromberg - Mr. Miller
Jeanne Ricks - Listening Room
Andre Parker - Where is the Luv
Bickley Rivera - Pan Funk
James Brown - Locomotion
James Brown - This Day Was Coming

The We Wish You a Merry Christmas/O Tannenbaum Remix was obviously inspired by Cee-Lo's "Forget" You.

It's been feeling like winter for a while in Florida. Tampa could have the coldest December since 1935.
