Jacking

So some of us were talking about jack radio format with its totally random song queues. One thing led to another, and we reported back the first ten tunes that appeared in a random playlist of all the music on our drives.

My first 10 [streaming m3u].

Can you guess some of them? I'll post answers later this week.

What 10 tunes turn up on your random playlist?

  5. See? Jack is whack, right? Crazy! Even freeform tends to have a method to madness. Jon and Pilita in line together? Dionne Warwick, Faust, Slayer?! What a lineup!

    When I was a kid, a DJ came to my elementary school. All classes gathered in the cafeteria and learned about key transitions, queuing and crossfading. It made a big impression. I respect real disc jockeys and don't want to replace them.

    Even though so much radio is canned now, at least there is someone programming it. Several studies have shown that brains tend to respond well to smooth sound transitions. I'm the first one to say, "They just followed that song with THIS song?!"

    That being said, random play works well with oddio like on Shirley and Spinoza Internet Radio, doesn't it?

    Cheers to radio programmers and disc jockeys!

  8. Scotto's Comfort Music and Comfort Radio [stream] are fab. Check them out! He turns me on to all sorts of new music.

    And that Lee there, he is a longtime oddio pro. He has Fudgeland going now, where you are sure to find audio oddities. In fact, Lee, your random 10 tracks surprised me as being less than totally bizarre. Amy Grant?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yeah! Amy Grant rocks. Well, not rocks, but she's a great songwriter. Bay City Rollers was next on the list...

  10. Bay City Rollers?! I am still in love with the Bay City Rollers and the Knack. They were two of the three pop acts I liked when I was a kid. I'm afraid readers will throw eggs, if I say the last one!

  11. It wasn't Kiss was it? ;)

    I say embrace all your guilty pleasures! I'm not ashamed of them anymore, and it's a lot more fun that way.

  12. Lee! Funny you should say that! Like where you are, it's cold here right now. You know, you dress in layers. This is TODAY's first layer. No joking!
