Tandino's Hangover Show! Too long or Just right?

[tandino]

Right folks, I will shortly be dipping my toes into the world of 5punk radio and have spent a good while compiling my playlist from my 300+ hours of music. The theme is 'Music to be Hung Over to', this meaning that there will be an eclectic mix of different types of music, but all will be 'Hangover Friendly' you'll know what I mean if you've ever been hung over.

I'm just wondering, how long would too long be? I would like to keep it short but there really is a huge amount of music I would like to share with my fellow 5punkers but I really don't want to bore your wee ears off. Worst comes to the worst I'll just split the one show into two shows.

Any feedback would be gratefully accepted and I offer bummings in return.

usually i figure 2-3 hours is a good length for a show, it gives people a good taste of the musics and isn't too long.

I reckon play as long as you've got. People don't necessarily have to listen to the show start to end - I know I usually don't - and unless theres someone else with a show 5cheduled after yours theres no reason to finish just for the sake of it. Also, if people are dropping in and out, then a longer show will allow more people to hear it.

Cheers mate! What I might do is split the playlist in half to see how the first one goes, then 5chedule another.

2-3 hours seems to be short enough for most attention spans yet long enough to where you don't really need to compromise too much on what you include on your playlist. and if you feel like you have left too many songs out, just make another show!
i'm looking forward to this show and will even test with a hangover if possible.

As long as you've got for the reasons Lat noted. I had a hangover once and I didn't like it, so I've remained pissed ever since.

so thats why you never talk on team speak. If you did it would be slurred and like mine

Cheers all who have voted so far, including the 2 votes for 'I don't give a flying monkey's jizzrag you cupcake'.

I'm thinking I could probably do a few shows at about 2-3 hours each. The playlist as it stands right now is 4hrs 25mins, that was me being quite picky about the music too!

I feel a hangover, after the initial nausea/headache has subsided, is a thing to embrace and I feel music is an important part of this so my radio show was born. I'm thinking it'll be a popular night for hangovers, either a Saturday or a Sunday. I tried to maintain a constant pissed state for a while but unfortunately real life intervened and so I had to be hung over. Turns out it wasn't all bad, so I've been having them ever since.

I'll put my hand up for one of those two votes! But see earlier post for reasons

I'm intending to be hungover on fri, sat, sun, mon and tues, so any of those suits me!

[tandino]

Ah yes it's the Bank Holiday weekend isn't it! Monday Seems like the perfect night for a bit of hangover music and nothing is 5cheduled thus far so I shall sort it now. Huzzah!
