I've been saving this....

Yesspaz you stir up the most unneccesary topics. But now that you did, I'm going to really unload!

I hardly get a chance to listen (not chat) to the Moon, and when I do, I will hope to hear a gem I haven't heard. Just because someone has a mister ten percent jones doesn't mean the requests need to be overhauled. To me it's abused as it is.

You see, the requests are a bit too much from my view. That's why you get too much of the same songs. I only request once if I'm on the Moon, works out to maybe one or two a week. I think you all ought to be limited to once per day. How disappointing it is to request a song and have three 20 minute songs and a ton of others in the queue, most of them by the same listeners. Now to work it in a more cryptic fashion would be maddening. Please, have some self-control. If not, let Big Brother limit us to once per day. Let's be inclusive to othr listeners!

Even with the programming it's geting a bit stale. Forgive me Tommy, but after a while I need a break from King Crimson/Floyd/Zappa and their progeny.

The reason I request the same bands is to get other people exposure to a band I think is needed. Once a week is enough. And if it I think I'm being overbearing, I'll lay off. For instance, I am of the opinion that "Unfolded Like Staircase" is one of the best records ever made. But if I subject you to it a lot, the natural reaction is to boomerang the opposite way.

I think you've done this with some things Spaz, for instance the Appleseed Cast, Letter E, American Football, and Don Caballero (notice I didn't say GYBE, cause they're not really played a lot, their songs are just long). And especially Journey.

I requested an Echolyn song that I've heard countless times. But I got an excellent feedback from it (no one had heard it), so the demand is there. But I'm careful to lay off if it too.

Man, I'd love to have the capability, time, and permission to do a monthly show. You'd never hear the same thing twice.

I have a lot of music that's on the playlist. I can hear it anytime. When a song comes on I don't want to hear, there's something else to do. More importantly, there's a ton of music here I don't have and I have not heard. That's what I like.
