In a lot of ways, Ryan Farish has become the second Trammell Starks in terms of LF music. From what I'm sensing, I think everyone likes Ryan's music overall but would just like to see a wider variety of artists as each new playlist is revealed to give us the chance to discover new artists and new songs that we've never heard.
Probably cost more money to get more variety. I wouldn't be surprised if that too is a limiting factor

That's a very good point Patrick... and I buy that. But Martin, I think a lot of us could agree that TWC should reair classics from eons ago... which I highly doubt costs all that much more than promoting his new albums.

Its very annoying but something you have to put up with. Cable companies are going to get every penny they can from local ads

That's normal... that's not as much the issue here. The problem is that Comcast can't seem to air the local/Comcast ads on time... sometimes 10 seconds late. What I've noticed on several channels now is that if they happen to do just that, they air an extra 30 second ad for some reason.

I've never seen it happen here. When my Intellistar is out, it's out. There's no nearby Intellistar to switch to.

General Discussion / Comcast cutting into the Local Forecasts

Just before the 6:49 LF there, I saw two 30 second mesothelioma ads... but Comcast also inserts an ad for a local car dealership. That ad goes out... and it cuts right to the last loop of the local radar. Comcast normally has an issue cutting 2 or 3 seconds into the LF intros or other promos... but this is getting ridiculous. Now several times a day I see it happen. Anyone else noticing it?

So I've been rummaging through older files, now about to delete the last of the raw files from my "January-March 2010" folder. Just got to thinking... it has been over two years now since I lost nearly everything I had from 2007 and early 2008. It's hard for me to think of a time that I have been more depressed than I was that February 2008 nite I brought home my desktop computer.

banned for I don't use AIM as I'm too shy to do one-on-one conversations here.

Banned for I usually am with new people (that I haven't talked much to), but once I get used to the person... it's not too bad.

We all have our opinions. Same way Lynn Patrick's and Patrick Droney's songs all sound the same. I, on the other hand, can easily tell one RF song from another... but I can see how not everyone can.

Wow I gotta start reading the paper closer. Just found out my editorial about the incompetence of my local school board was published Monday.

Wow, neat! I think I wrote some stories for the yearbook... hopefully they're included this year.

On another subject, you have got to be kidding me

I love Ryan's work... but I can't understand how this became a promotion for his new albums. I would kill to hear some of his more classic songs, such as "Beautiful", "Fall Rain", or most of all, "Full Sail".
