Aloha Mr. Fab!   🥸 ♥ 2:14pm

Please email me and let me know.   🥸 ♥ 2:32pm
Jay Current:

↳ Ellen @2:26

There's drop in shows on both Rock n Soul and the mothership. I know the mothership is completely freeform (Bandit just did a polka show.) Rock n Soul drop-ins are generally rock related, but I don't think there's any hard rules per se. I'm applying for the later since I don't live in New Jersey. ♥ 2:32pm
Jay S.:

The title is "Pop Music for the New Millennium Children: 1997-2004." It's nothing but songs that I heard on the local pop stations during those years. Lots of little sets and each one is a different genre. ♥ 2:38pm
Tenacious Crow:

Oh that could be fun   🥸 ♥ 2:40pm
Jay Current:

↳ Ellen @2:35

Bear in mind this isn't a greatest hits of that era or anything. I just went with the songs from each style that came to mind quickly and that I remember hearing a lot at the time. There are some that I like, but there others that I just remember being heavily exposed to. ♥ 2:47pm

I was able to complete my show with just cut and paste and volume adjustment. I won't say it's the most professional thing ever, but I feel it's listenable. The most annoying thing was having to cut it down to 56 minutes. 🥸 ♥ 2:49pm

I set the date cutoff to when I entered middle school because 1) that's more adolescence than childhood and 2) I really do not need to relive middle school. 1997 is the first year where I could remember some of the songs.   🥸 ♥ 2:56pm
