General Discussion / Re: MERRY CHRISTMAS

« on: December 25, 2011, 12:32:54 PM »

Merry Christmas everyone! I haven't opened gifts from my dad yet (my brother and I are supposed to be there at 1pm), but I did get a mower from my mom and step dad, a DVD from my brother, and mixing bowls from my sister. All nice things, but nothing I couldn't buy myself. Well maybe not the mower, but that's for work, not play. At my age, it's more fun to give than receive. In particular, picking out gifts for my 7 nieces and nephews.

Not sure if any station still does it here, but I remember something like that when I was growing up. I don't remember what it was called. I'm pretty sure, though, that it had a more appropriate name.

Is it Love is You by Deep Shallow Band?

Doubt it. No vocals in that song.

Do kids these days know what's meant by "SP," "LP," "SLP," and "EP"? 

Probably not.

OK wow, don't know when this happened, but weather.com has changed its look...again.  The changes are very minor, mainly only with the city search and menu bars at the top.  So far, I don't like it.   The navigation is confusing.

This could be in a beta mode, so if you don't see a difference, it may just be TWC testing something.  I've attached a screenshot below so you all can see what I'm talking about.

Agreed. I've never been a fan of the "hover to get more links" navigation style. What was wrong with the old look? Sheesh, now I wish I had stayed with my 2008 layout. It's really annoying when a site you frequent changes too often!

I found a WeatherScan DVD last night, but the STAR was broken throughout the DVD. I'll look again tonight.

Interesting. No wonder I only vaguely remember New York being NY City.

Wasn't it labeled as NY City on the regional maps for a short time too?

Yes. Much longer, but yes.

Does anybody remember a song like this from either June or July 2002? There was a vocal at the end of the 2:00 LF and it went like this, witchoowa (with a short a) witchoowa witchoowa witchoowa, I really want to know what it is.

Was it this song?

It has to be from Mike because it's from the Philadelphia area, it's very high quality like his other videos on the site, and because Tyler lives in Pittsburgh ()

Oh yah.

Hey Matt, do you by chance have the video of the Weatherscan seen here?

Maybe. If it's from the other Mike, I can post it. If not, it's probably from a tape Tyler sent me years ago, which I can't transfer (in which case, I wonder how I was able to make a screenshot).

Yah, it wasn't rare. I'm sure if I looked for it, I could find it in my footage.

Which consequently is why I am not very fond of Trammells music. It's not a matter if the music is good or not, but his tunes all sound the same to me and it bores me quickly

Really? Wow! I don't think his songs sound the same at all. Well, he definitely has his own style, but the songs are different enough for me. Brian Hughes and Pat Metheny would be other examples of TWC artists whose music generally sounds the same. Ryan Farish is close to being in that group as well.
