Concept Album "Show?"

All that would have to be done is for each and every album on AM to have a playlist file (.plu I think), and put those files all in one folder, and then on the given day, SAM grabs from it randomly, with some basic non-repeat programming. We might hear Rush's Power Windows, followed by one of the concept albums here, followed by a double album, like The Wall or Low Level Owl, then a short ep, like American Football's The One with the Tambourine, then Aqualung.

I've tossed this idea out before, and I think it has two advantages. First, it allows all albums to be experienced as the artists intended, each in their own time, sooner or later. Second, there's a little programming up front, but after that there's no weekly programming of a show, requests to keep track of, or personal requests to delay for a show.

My two cents.

Sounds OK to me Spaz........then again how about you resurrecting your show once in a while??? I know a few people who would love that......including me.

Thanks, KW, but I know a few people who would hate that!

Nah, I just don't have time anymore. It was fun while it lasted.

Of course, it would get some King's X on the Moon...
