Thanks for playing Pussy Willow this evening - I haven't heard it for quite a long time.

Might I be so bold to ask for an other Tull song: My God from the album Aqualung would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and best wishes to you and all S.A. listeners.

ORION

Glad that you're enjoying the music Orion. No problem my friend, coming up after the Gentle Giant.

Ahhh .... to cleanse the palate.

Good one, Orion!

Hi there Brent,

I've recently bought a couple of CDs by the Alan Parson's Project. They will be added to one of the new playlists.

Enjoy.

Can I then at least ask to play it only between 21:00 and 07:00 MET ? Please? Otherwise I feel forced to start scripting again.

Hi there Tux,

Just goes to show, you can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time ... Roll Eyes

By all means share your views with regards to what is played here at S.A. I think it's very obvious from your previous posts that you don't like Radiohead but I have no plans to take them off of any given playlist. I'm a fan of theirs and I don't see listeners tuning-out in droves when they are played. In any event, Radiohead make up a very small proportion of the music featured here. There are a lot of other listeners who enjoy a particular Progressive Rock act but not another. Just taking a cursory look through the posts on the forum here will show that (and in doing so, anyone will see that there is more of a debate going on as to whether Brian Eno hits anywhere even close to the 'Prog Target' Wink

. Again, a lot of listeners love him and a lot really, really, cannot stand him).

I try and pool together as many diverse groups and artists that I can that fall (albeit, sometimes remotely) under the genre of 'Prog' and this makes the musical 'style' on any given day at S.A. so different and versatile.

I'm going to have to recommend the 'mute' button (or a script), I'm afraid.

Hi Tux,

I think that by now everyone on the forum knows that you dislike Radiohead.
OK, they are not my favourite band either - but this is a radio station and it's made for many listeners with similar but not identical musical taste. I think we should accept that there are others who like different flavours of prog and this station is also made for them.

I think Dee is doing an extraordinarily good job and the program of SA is an extremely fine blend of all sorts of prog. So Dee, please keep on your excellent work.
And here a recommendation to you TUX: when Radiohead is playing why not use the time for other important things like going to the cellear to get the next beer or going for a pee ....
And when you come back the sun will be shining again.

Have fun,

ORION

It might sound strange, but in fact it was acompliment.
For me, so far, Radiohead was the only band I dislike (very much). And it's not even for their music, but I just can't stand Thom York's voice. I indeed use the stop button on beep-media-player.
The thing is though, that if the general quality of what you hear is so damn good, the odd one out that one does not like really stands out and annoys more than it should, whils when the station one is (forced to) be listening to only plays medicre and bad stuff, bad things don't stand out.

Just curious. If I decide to indeed start scripting, would you be interested in the results?
Or even willing to cooperate if I heve special requests?

I promise. I won't complain anymore about Radiohead, but please don't overdo it
