Programmed Shows:
I enjoy the wide variety of tunes played on the various shows (Progressive Shores, Gagliarchives et. al) but I gotta ask the producers of these shows to please consider less gum flappin' and more music playing.
Rambling on for 3 minutes about a 5 minute tune and why it's significant or important or (fill in the blank) is largely a waste of time. If the tune is so good, it will speak to the listeners for itself. This is streaming radio, not Intro to Prog Musicology 101, so please spare us the rambling monologs and let the music carry the day.

Given the fact that shows are only a smallish percentage of Aural Moon's airtime, and that the talking done on those shows is a small percentage of their airtime, I don't see any need for drastic change. (The Gagliarchives is completely outside my control.) As far as Progressive Shores goes, I rarely meet anyone who introduces me to good music I haven't heard before - Sean seems to come up with several every week. I think Sean is very knowledgeable and provides some good background on the music he plays.

Promo's:
Is anyone else out there totally burned out on the Gnosis and Progressive Shores ads with the the turnip-stuck-in-his-throat audio compression set to "11" guy?
Please, please create new promos that aren't so jarring, hyper compressed and played so repetively over and over and... I feel like Sysphus here - doomed to listen to these audio boulders for all eternity.
Promo's should be informative without destroying the mood and given a 30-45 day fuze before they are replaced. Keeping the same promo's for over a year is driving us mad, and not in a good way :-)

The point about the promos not changing is fair and well taken. But c'mon, didn't the "gay folk - Breton music" exchange make you smile the first time you heard it?
We'll continue to work on variety in the promos, and I'm a fan of having them play "occasionally" rather than "often" Keep the comments coming and we'll keep trying to improve the Moon experience...
