You know how it goes: your girlfriend has over 20 pairs of shoes and still she feels like she has nothing to go along with that little blue dress that she just bought.Well, sometimes i kinda feel like this when i'm choosing the music for the show. Right now i have 400 bands and a little over a thousand albums here in my system. Since the show is called "Metal7080" i obviously have to focus on the classic stuff so when it comes to put some new music, who will make the show? Who will not? I have to face that dilemma pretty much every week as i receive tons of cds. One of the clues is the special requests. When you request a song, not only you're asking me to play a song, but you are voting for a band as well. It tells me what you guys like and sometimes what you don't like.
Another clue is what i call the make it or break it song. You've heard me in the past playing a song from a new band and asked you to comment on the song. Believe me, if i get a hundred e-mails saying: "Man that sucked big time" or "Gee weez papa cheese this singer's voice is horrible" that would be the end of the road for that band on the show. Same thing goes the other way. If people are excited about a new band, then they will get into the playlist.
So you see, when it comes to decide what new stuff i should be playing, your opinion not only matters but help making the show. Its like choosing a pair of shoes with a good assistant...
Keep sending those requests and comments ;)
Carl / Metal7080
