That Zinc playlist is very similar to what Mix was 10 years ago.

Shelter from the storm by Bob Dylan them Too funky by George Michael. This is why I prefer 2ues music over 2ch/ wsfm / smooth. They would not play such a different genre of music as it’s too risky. Not to me. This is more like a SWR that would do that rather than a commercial station in a city.

Getting together some playlists for my eventual show on Braidwood FM. Here’s a sample. Brackets of three songs- will have to adapt this as necessary of course:

Radio Waves- ROGER WATERS
YYZ- RUSH
Watcha Gonna Do- CHILLIWACK

Healing Hands- ELTON JOHN
Rock Me- ABBA
Rock N Roll Over You- MOODY BLUES

Connected- STEREO MCS
Come On Spring- ANTENNA
Flowers In The Rain- THE MOVE

Girl Can’t Help It- JOURNEY
Baby I Love Your Way- BIG MOUNTAIN
Perfect Way- SCRITTI POLITTI

Standing On Higher Ground- ALAN PARSONS PROJECT
Mountain- CHOCOLATE STARFISH
Sha La La La Lee- SMALL FACES

Some of those transitions are obvious, some aren’t. Have a listen to the vocals of the Journey song which go well with the next song. Also note how ‘Mountain’ by Chocolate Starfish finishes.

Would be interested to know what people think. Would you listen to this?

I would listen. Especially if I could hear it on FM

My format is basically ‘songs that sound good on radio’. Closest to Radio Caroline (melodic rock) with a bit of outright pop every now and then. I will stay away from polarising genres like metal and hip hop, except for the ‘wrong songs’ :).

As you can see, even staying within these confines, there are plenty of songs worthy of airplay that don’t see the light of day on commercial radio. That is my aim with the show.

Some good songs there. Nothing At All / Heart is rarely heard these days. The Promise / When In Rome is a real gem. Can’t think of the last time I heard that on Australian radio, although it’s on high rotation in the US. I recall hearing it literally every day on radio in LA a couple of years back - both KOST and K-Earth play it all the time. I also heard it on BBC Radio 2 on one of their 80s countdowns recently.

It’s on one of my playlists as well. It follows ‘Saved By Zero’ (Fixx) and ‘Too Low For Zero’ (Elton John). You can guess the little theme in that bracket.

With Triple M in Sydney & Central Coast both now having “Rock’s Greatest Hits”, but carrying a different log from one another, I thought it would be worth looking at how the two differ from one another, in which both can be heard into each other’s licence areas.
