Tag Archives: Monthly Marker

For reasons that are very boring (they include words such as “generating statistics” and “playlist analysis”) but still are very important for the inner workings of a radio station, we need a specific point of recognition in our playlists. This could be anything, from a bleep to a fixed commercial break.

But we do not want bleeping ads disrupting our stream. We are not in this to be making money. Our mission is simply to spread the music we love to the four corners of the world. Thus searching for the best of both we came up with what we jokingly refer to as our “Monthly Marker”. We decided to give bands the opportunity to have a spotlight put on a specific track by playing it at that point of reference we needed.

To keep things interesting we change this song every month. The more avid listener may have already picked up on this system, as our past “Monthly Markers” were LEAF official’s “Terveh” in January and Random Reel’s “Clumsy Bear’s Reel” for February.

So with this new month comes a new song! All through March you can hear “Far Away” by the Finnish Folk band Greenrose Faire on average 5 to 6 times a day. We hope you’ll enjoy their music as much as we do, and if so, head on over to their Facebook page and give them a like!
