Energy Adds Jonathan Peters

This morning, Energy has added "All This Time" by Jonathan Peters Presents Sylver. Sylver is Sylver Logan Sharp, singer from the group Chic. This song has been one of my favorites for a couple of months now and sounds great on the air (in my humble opinion).

Energy Website Up and Running

The official website of Energy 92.7 San Francisco now offers more than just a logo on a blank page. Updated this morning, the new and improved site provides various means to get in touch with the station, including email contacts, a music survey, and a contact form that did not yet appear to be working. There are also some small pictures of the on-air personalities, for those who are curious to see what they look like. A claim maintains that the site is only temporary as Energy gets ready to unveil its permanent presence on the web, and it's a minimal but adequate start. A link to the website is provided in the column to the right.

Energy Adds David Morales

Today Energy 92.7 has begun playing the Peter Rauhofer mix of "How Would U Feel" by David Morales in regular rotation, perhaps in part because Morales will be spinning at Ruby Skye this coming Friday night. For more details concerning the show, check out the Ruby Skye events link in the posting about the Motorcycle concert below.

Brad's Dirty Dozen, 1/15/05

Here are my personal favorites for the week:

01. I Believe in You - Kylie Minogue +Listen+
02. Sick and Tired (Nevins Mix) - Anastacia +Listen+
03. How Would U Feel - David Morales featuring Lea-Lorien +Listen+
04. Surrender - Lasgo +Listen+
05. All This Time - Jonathan Peters Presents Sylver +Free Download+
06. You Never Know (Morjac Mix) - Marly +Listen+
07. The Wonder of It All (Mig/Brett Mix) - Kristine W
08. Diary (Hani Mix) - Alicia Keys
09. Walk Into the Sun (King Unique Mix) - Dirty Vegas +Listen+
10. I Like It - Narcotic Thrust +Listen+
11. Put 'Em High - Stonebridge +Listen+
12. Ecstasy - ATB +Listen+

Chart commentary: Kylie Minogue takes advantage of the momentum gained by her Energy add this week to leap into the number one spot, followed closely by Anastacia. These two women could battle it out for the top for several weeks to come. Lasgo holds steady at number four, as they prepare for the release of their second album over in Europe. "Surrender" will be a staple at US radio for quite some time, as its success on the dance chart has inspired an attempted crossover to pop, but here is the killer first single off their next release, "All Night Long," for those of you who are interested.

Energy Adds Kylie, Ciara

Today, Energy 92.7 has added Kylie Minogue's "I Believe in You" (album version) and Ciara's "1, 2 Step" (remix) into regular rotation. Both had previously been given significant mix show exposure and (in my opinion) make Energy sound all the more fresh and exciting.

Unfortunately, because Energy still seems fearful that too much current music will turn off new listeners, sacrifices were made to accomodate the two new songs - in the form of Alicia Keys' "Diary" and Tiesto's "Traffic," which appear to have been banished to DejaVuLand. DejaVuLand is named after its first victim, "Deja Vu" by Roc Project, which received healthy spins in medium rotation for several weeks before disappearing suddenly and completely off the airwaves, never to be heard from again (expect for a brief snippet during Energy's 2004 year-end mix).

Truthfully, I won't miss "Traffic" all that much, which never really grew on me, but losing "Diary" is a shame. This was my favorite Hani remix since he did wonders with Amber's "One More Night," and I have yet to find any website where this great Alicia Keys mix is available for purchase or download.

Since Energy's playlist was fairly dormant this week (with no new adds or major activity), I thought I'd spice things up a little by presenting my own personal top ten songs of the week. Five are featured regularly on Energy, while the other five can be heard on other dance radio stations throughout the country. If you enjoy the five songs you recognize from Energy, be sure to check the others out - I remain optimistic that Energy will add at least a few of them soon.

01. How Would U Feel - David Morales featuring Lea-Lorien +Listen+
02. I Believe in You (Album Version) - Kylie Minogue +Listen+
03. Sick and Tired (Jason Nevins Electrochill Edit) - Anastacia +Listen+
04. Surrender - Lasgo +Listen+
05. Diary (Hani Radio Edit) - Alicia Keys
06. You Never Know (Morjac Radio Mix) - Marly +Listen+
