I figure I'm familiar with only about 1/4 of what's out in any given year, and that may be generous. Yes, two songs from each will be good, but I will either pick randomly or take suggestions for the ones I do not know. plus i don't want to influence any voting.

Let's tentatively plan on the last week in Dec and the first in Jan for these shows. Capital idea, Keithie...

and I will also as usual air the results as a rebroadcast of the Wojtek show...

Rick, excellent idea from KW with the 2 songs from some albums (as with more than 1000 tunes, averaging 10 tunes an album, meaning 100 new albums, maybe you will have the opportunity to air samples from 20 albums in 2 shows (am I right?), so I think you could highlight the ones you like, and I agree with that: A show has to be personal and why not influence the vote, if the voters like your selection!!

But I still think, that in order to let us know more of the 2008 albums, why not have the RFW for some weeks dedicated to 2008 albums?

Lotus, I'm sorry - I was saying the exact opposite of you about influence.

I know, Rick. (Sorry, my poor English). What I wanted to say is that selecting tunes from that mass you will always influence ppl in there vote, as they are going to know the tune you played, while they do not know many tunes you did not play. And this kind of influence (even if you make real propaganda for one Album) is ok for me.

Hope I did express myself now well..

So does that mean the Payola checks should go to Rick?

Or are you only taking cash this year?
