Hurrah! He's talking about his radio thing again!

Let us say, hypothetically, that I'm composing a radio program. Let us also say that within my theme I have a large proportion of various musical genres--swing, or punk, or club, or eighties, or whatnot.

As a listener, keeping in mind that you may like or dislike the genre in question, how large a block of music from a single genre do you want to hear (assuming that the show is not about that genre)?

Two or three songs at a time, marbled gently and intertwining throughout? Meaty chunks of homogeneous sound?

Marbled. Even a genre I like will get on my nerves if there's too much in a big chunk.

My choice would be an hour-long block of one genre, and so on..

Hypothetically speaking, I'm always a fan of variety, so my preferences would likely lean toward the former.

A local radio station plays "five songs about love non-stop" daily.

I hope that it is not the same five songs. (:

Those who listen to it regularly say it's the only local radio station whose repertoir for the day is hardly predictable :)

I tend to like the marbled variety, myself.

Music, like good beef, should be marbled. Seriously, would you want to gnosh on a giant hunk of fat, and then on pure muscle tissue?

Mmmm... marbley beef. Or marbley radio stations.

I think this is becoming an Eddie Izzard bit. I like my radio stations like I like my beef. Marbley... with a spoon in it. :)
