Just did my first radio show since i had stopped last year. It was lots of
fun, particularly the phone calls from people who were regular listeners
of my friday night show... Anyway, now I only have 1 hour, compared to three
hours, so 8 minutes songs do take up a lot of precious space on my playlist.
Is it proper radio etiquette to mix long songs after 4 or 6 minutes? What
would you prefer (supposing you were within range), full versions, almost
full (when it starts to fade, mix the other on top of it), or clearly
cut 25% or something like that (or more) of the playing time?
I mean, i had stuff like pyrex (david kristian) clocking 6:45 and coltrane -
fire mix (System 7) at 8:45 (from memory), and hmmm, silversub - fm remix
(autechre), over 7 minutes etc... I almost played them all, mixing them
as they would start fading or loosing momentum.
(btw, pyrex and coltrane - fire mix, go *extremely* well together)
Ciao,
