Subject: [dads-yard] WXPN & you

Apologies for cross-posts:
       To mark their move into new digs, WXPN  in Philadelphia (www.xpn.org)
is asking listeners to send in their top 10 songs of all time, for compilation
of the top 885 songs of all time, which will air in October.
       Interesting enough, a work colleague and I were just discussing the
other day how WXPN seems to be shifting, maybe becoming "younger" in its
playlist, and
no longer has folks like Nields, Melissa Ferrick, Dar Williams, Richard
Shindell, Lucy Kaplansky, SONiA, etc., in heavy rotation (if they ever did, in
the
case of some artists). They all but ignored the latest cds from most of the
above artists. Glad to hear Catie Curtis on World Cafe, but I haven't heard
her
played there otherwise. It's not really that I dislike what they do play, it's
just that they play less of some of my faves -- and yours, too.
       To that end, I think it might be a wakeup call to them if there is
heavy turnout at the polls for some of these folks. I hate to think those
artists
are becoming irrelevant to WXPN, because they certainly are not irrelevant to
me.
