Ok, so the guy that has my Arsis cd is in Augusta for the weekend, so unless we're able to track down the station's copy you're gonna have to wait until next week for it.

I have a suggestion, and it doesn't deal with songs actually. I listened this previous Friday night for about 30 minutes, and I noticed there was an announcement between every song saying what it was (that's about 5 or so songs I guess). I'm not trying to tell you how to do things or trying to be a jerk, but I was thinking it wasn't really necessary to hear the DJ speak between every song. I was glad when one song finally went straight into another. You could fit more music in that way too. Just my 2 cents.

I don't know about for wrekage but on normal shifts on wrek you are required to say what every song you play is.

Yeah but you don't have to say their names after each song, you can just read them in a list after playing a bunch of songs non-stop in a row.

Dan, you're probably either talking about my set or Paul's set. We both announce requests when we play them so the people waiting on them know when they are, then we'll play stuff from our own playlists without interrupting for 3-4 songs when we aren't playing requests. Paul and I both usually wind up playing the most requests because of the times we usually go on (me in the middle and Paul toward the end), so it probably seems like we do it a lot.

I personally try to keep the talking to a minimum because I am aware I talk inbetween songs more often when I'm playing blocks of requests. I don't think it's that much of a problem time-wise though (it's usually 15 or so seconds... time enough to say what I just played and time enough to say what's up next with no chit-chat inbetween), and I think the people who call in requests want to know when their song is coming up. Part of the reason they call up is so they can hear their song name read aloud on the air and say to themselves/their buddies "Hell yeah! That's my song!".

I'm curious to know who was deejaying at the time, too. My "normal" routine is to play two songs back-to-back and then back-announce the last song played and announce the one coming up. This past week there were a few requests that I wanted to make sure got mentioned in advance, but I tried to keep the break to a minimum.

Ironically....one of the complaints that we used to get was that deejays wouldn't announce songs for a looong time (back in the Jonathan/Sam days); sometimes they'd go almost an hour before announcing what they'd played....or so you hoped.
