Local Forecast / Re: Christmas Music 2018

It's only been used for one day so far. It went back the normal playlist very next day. It was the same vocal Christmas music that has been used before.

That's weird. Must have been a test or mistake.

Wow, this has to be a record! Any idea what songs they're playing? (I don't subscribe to TWC.)

I also just think, frankly, that they're realizing that there's little point (generally beyond this group) in having a full local forecast every ten minutes during live coverage when you can get the exact same thing (and more) on the phone, tablet, or laptop in front of you.

...unless you're someone like my step-dad who almost never uses the internet, but always needs weather information because of his job.

Curious, is the cutoff year for TWCC 2005 now, seeing the playlists section has been updated? If so I could provide you with my clips from 2002-05... let me know.

Yes, there is no official cutoff year anymore. I'll just post whatever I find worth sharing. So if you have clips of any songs I'm missing, I could definitely use them. Thanks!

I have found the 2005 Hurricane Season Theme. There was already a full track somewhere on YouTube, however it's from VideoHelper - Lawrence Of Astoria - VH012

Woah, for a second there I thought you had found the "Alert Mode" theme.

AFAIK, no one has been able to obtain the whole song.

Local Forecast / Re: Recent playlists?

« on: October 23, 2017, 10:25:32 AM »

Yes, I know what the tracks are on the CDs. I'm interested though in what TWC was playing. Did they play every track from the two jazz CDs? Some tracks?

Local Forecast / Recent playlists?

« on: October 19, 2017, 02:20:19 PM »

I haven't watched TWC much over the last few years, but I received an email from someone asking for a current playlist. He mentioned Dave Koz, so I assume that he's referring to the days when TWC plays jazz songs from their CDs. Does anyone have a list of the songs they play?

Wonder why Sue hasn't released it?

I'm guessing that like Trammell's mystery song, she doesn't have the original recording.

Yes, this appears to be enigmatic track. It appears to be only available in the 2 minute clip on TWCC. I've checked various repositories (Amazon music, iTunes, etc) to see if the song eventually was given a 'title' and released through a standard means, but I could not find anything. Truly a mystery...

Perhaps it was mistakenly tagged as Ficara as the artist (you have to admit it stands to be very different from his other songs). It almost has a nu-jazz, electronic sound to it.

It's interesting that you'd post this now because I recently found out that the title is "Saxy." A TWCC visitor tipped me off to this. He says he got the information from Ficara, so I assume it's legit.

You guys should have seen the old TWCC boards during the "meltdown" back in 2008... there would be hundreds of posts just during that overnight period. It's like what you see on your Facebook feed if you're friends with like a thousand people.

Yes! I tell that story whenever I can. I like to say that a thread on my message board went viral before "going viral" was a thing!
