Where to put this? I don't know. Will leave that to you. You're the station with big balls (we're good with subtlety here in new yawk)! Whaddyathink? I think it would prove popular and get you some good press. Howyadoin Rocky:

The penultimate sentence should begin with 'your' and not 'you're'. How irritating, I hate that... Aaagh, annoying spelling mistake in my previous post.

Even songs that I like are getting a bit overplayed, which is annoying because it ruins them. Fleet Foxes, absolutely love that, but i'm starting to tune to a different station when I hear you guys play it now because I don't want to you to overkill it. The worst one is that awful tune by The Killers I think, 'Human'. Bloody awful and it seems to be on Absolute all the time! I know you don't repeat the same song between 10-5pm on any given day. However, some tunes seem to be played once between 10-5pm EVERY day, so the no-repeat workday is itself a repeat! Not to mention the overplay of these tunes before and after 10-5pm. Sorry to be moaning though, overall the music is so much better since the new station launched. And, in fact, I would say that even in the past few days there has been another slight tweak of the playlist and the music is sounding even better now, although I may be imagining the 'tweak'! I really think Absolute is settling in as a station really well, definitely found your feet now and generally is sounding very, very good I reckon. Surely, you will have to get rid of those irritating voice-overs though? They really stand out as s**t, especially amongst the good music! I think a new breakfast presenter would be an improvement and a bit more personality & humour from Nick Jackson wouldn't go amiss either, but that's just my preferences. Nice one guys, keep it up please! Sounding pretty good and getting better all the time I reckon. Still a little way to go though so keep at it please. Basically, thanks for putting a station back on the air that I can listen to though because i'd totally given up on the old station. You're hard work is really appreciated. Sounding really good for the most part. Cheers for the effort... Andy The music is a little repetitive, but nowhere near as bad as it used to be.
