Today's Subjects: ----------------- new music recommendations [Bernie Mojzes ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2024 14:53:05 -0400 From: Bernie Mojzes Subject: new music recommendations Hullo all, I have a friend who was a top 40 DJ for a couple decades before leaving corporate radio and switching career paths. He's recently been doing a weekly 1hr radio show that's broadcast by a friend of his, who has a super-local radio station that broadcasts for 2 hours a week, just for fun, playing mostly stuff from the 70s/80s/90s that were no longer getting radio circulation. A few months back I introduced him to Joni Mitchell's Shadows & Light - blew his mind, and he had it on autorepeat for a month - and now he's been digging into the ALBUMS of folks whose hits he used to play. A couple weeks ago he decided to dedicate a show into recent music, pulling from songs from the charts between 2019-2024. He hated it all so much that he deleted the files after the show aired. He mentioned that when he was in radio, there was a rule that you couldn't play an artist more than once during a 1 hour span; now top-40 DJs have a revised rule - you also can't play songs produced by the same producer in that span - because everything they produce sounds like the producer more than the artist. But of course, top-40 is only a sliver of what is. So, I'm wondering what new music and new artists you'd recommend to him.
