Instead of being beholden to one topic, I am going to have a rotating theme each week. Some of these will appear more often than another, and I will try to use as much of the Moon library as possible.

Here are the themes:

New Music - this is something that we've been looking to do for a while. If there's an addition during the week, I will try to play at least one tune off of each addition.

"Tweeners" - here's one that I find VERY exciting. Seems to me there's a very large amount of music not quite progressive enough to be on the playlist yet enjoyable. Some of these may be rolled into the other themes as opposed to a separate show.

Classic Rockers - I can hear the groans already. However, these will be the most progressive of the music by artists you would not likely see on the playlist. Probably they are songs not played on radio. Bands like Zeppelin, The Who, Elton John come to mind. Example: you will NOT hear "Crocodile Rock" but you may hear "Out of the Blue".

Artist Spotlights - some of these may not be ones that come immediately to mind. A great way of seeing if that band you're unsure of does it for you.

Specials - The great festivals such as Nearfest, Progday, Rosfest, and others - bands present and past will be highlighted. Shows will run close to the festival date.

Heavier selections - aaahhhh I'm looking forward to this. That said, this will not be as prevelant a theme. There are tons of songs palatable to the discerning ear but not tried due to initial opinions. I think you may be surprised here.

Requests - want to hear something? Tough shit! Seriously, I'll run a show every so often with collections of songs you want to hear.

Fusion - A genre near and dear to my heart.

Full length classics - keeps you from having to dig them out!

If I maneuver this right, there are plenty of topics to cover and songs to play. My goal is to have you enjoy the show and hear a lot of different things.

I thought I posted this when I first started - a show guide so to speak...and there's some amusing posts in this thread.
