Today you could hear it on Jack - would need to move the SEC tone in to make it work in the Audiovault running in Otto mode....
I got bumped from editing my first post on this subject cause I was too slow on the edit...I apologize for coming back but I had to mention this.
The segue has been a lost art since the jock lost control of the playlist. Man I used to sit there and wrack my noodle for something that would go together when I was at The Bear. We were lucky to be able to pull our own stuff then.
You won't hear a station go without something between every record now. Poop I say. "Magoo, ya gotta have something." Poop yet again! There's a country station in Knoxville, TN that'll go 2 or 3 without a sweep or an announcer, and they have a 20 share all the time. A 20 share!
I've got one more for the night then I have to take my meds. Raven - Howlin'/Bad Company - Young Blood. Good night Gracie.

Magoo, nice touch on Floyd to Steve Miller. "Run" has that cold ending + a decay crowd fx that lends itself to a song that fades in or slams in. Jock Option. I97 and 107 seem to be doing a few more "cold segues" these days, no breakers, bumpers or zaps between songs. IMHO that helps TSL. Unless there's a live body in the studio, you won't hear a psychedelic segue, unless the PD/MD codes the songs to create that effect... but ahhh, there is a way, which I used from time to time using Scott Studios: Assign the song to a Hot Key, go to Manual Mode... and don't touch the Hot Key panel until the song is over! Horn segue? Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" (horns decay + cold downbeat) into Blood Sweat & Tears' "Spinning Wheel" (horns fade in and up)
sorry about not comming up for air but i just decovered this site a couple of months ago and its been years since ive talked with other radio geeks and up until last year when i googled radio towers and found scott fybushes site i thought i was the only one that got a hard on over radio towers.............. i am not allllloooone lol by the way jim is that bob scott?
in response to silkie are they still called disc-jockeys records were replacedby carts, then cd like carts now a mouse now the(announcer) does voice over liners to put in the computer remember the term automated assist what did that mean tapeing weather and liners for fred...(f....ing rediculus electronic device) or changing the carts in the carousel and the reels......lol brother wease isn't even a disc-jockey any more i think any of us who used to spin records slipcue and talk up intros and still talk to the babe's that would call you should be inducted to the radio hall of fame
I remember hearing the Dream Weaver into Foreplay/Long Time segue on WPhD, '80s, more than once. You could call that format "eclectic". These days, they'd call it "Classic Hits".
PS - Boston Supersets - lots of segues. Hardest part was telling when one song ended and another began.

In the Heyday...THAT was the adrenaline rush, the ultimate mechanism for good radio, the reason to go to work everyday...the "tween" stopsets that jocks lived for......artistry.
The rest is history. In honor of CFNY
