themed shows
Moderators: Brian, Metalfreak, MS_39455, WREKage Staff
So you may or may not have noticed that every now and then a combination of inspiration and boredom strikes me, and I'll come up with some theme for my playlists. One night I played all cover songs, one night I played all instrumentals, last friday I played all Halloween songs except for requests, etc.
Are there any themes any of you would like for me to explore? To give you an example of what I may do soon, I was thinking of playing songs from bands A-Z, playing only bands and songs that have "blood" in their name, playing connect-the-dots with band members tracing their movement from former bands to current bands, playing stuff from just Atlanta-area bands only, and so on.
...why I feel like doing this I have no idea, I just think it's a nice change of pace from "that was band x we play every week, here's a song from band y we play every week" before and after every song. So tell me, should I keep trying to spice up my part of the show from time to time or just give up and just keep pushing my buttons when I'm on the air?

"And now, songs from bands who have a grim reaper on the cover of all of their CDs except one......and then AFTER Children of Bodom....."
(We noticed a certain scything similarity last week.....)
I think if the A.C. isn't fixed by next week we should play an hour of songs by.....A.C. In the hope that maybe it will invoke the A.C. to start running again. :3y3s:

Yeah, we could do an entire Wrekage on this topic alone.
I picked a few songs in this vein for this week's show, you'll all have to tune in and see. :ch41n:

Like all these groups are from like some unique obscure places like Hungary or Denmark or whatever. That would show the audience what the metal is that comes out of those places sound like. :sm0k3:
Just an idea.

I did something like that on the show where I had to pass my test to become an official member of WREK - I called it the metal world tour show and played bands from like 10-15 different countries.
That was way back when we were only going til 2 am, sometime in May I think.

Going til 2am, seems like so long ago. I can't believe it was that short of a show for so long myself.
Glad it changed, though it was great when it going until 8 but, things do change and not always for the better. :m1c:

Although it was kinda cool to be going until 8am (getting phone calls from listeners saying "Dude, I fell asleep listening to Slayer at 1am, and now you're playing them when I woke up at 7!" is pretty neet).........6am is late enough. I'd like to be awake on Saturdays before, say, 3pm. I'd hate to start missing my Internet radio show, which starts at 6pm.
