Indeed. And I'm profoundly honored to be filling that much needed niche.

Again, I'm flattered. Of course, this also adds the pressure factor.

I look forward to the new programming, but I feel it needs to be monitored, or you will find a vast ocean of music will be ignored.

OK, this I don't quite follow. A good deal of the stuff I'm going to be playing, at least initially, is going to be stuff that I've never heard. In other words, the choices may well be pseudo random.
However, the others will be digging in and finding a wide variety of songs that aren't generally played on The Moon. Especially BrainRock and Space. Neither of them, in my personal listening experience, are what could be considered 'overplayed'. I could definitely understand your concern if I were to be putting together a format of, say, the top 20 (or whatever) songs of the last month.
The way I see it, a lot of us (including the established shows) will be using these shows to showcase things that AREN'T played over and over. In spite of his monicker, I'm quite sure that Yesspaz won't be playing "All Yes All The Time".
Quite the opposite, I'd say. He might do the occasional track off of 'Tales', but I suspect his format will be directed much more toward Don Cab, GY!BE, and other new-agey/classic-prog/synth type music.
Maybe I misunderstand 'Spaz's format. Maybe I misinterpreted your concern, Rick. But I don't see where the 'oceans of unplayed music' will come from. The way I see it, it's quite the opposite, in fact.
