Re: rage's reason for 'rage goes retro' in February as opposed to January

Luuuc
This really sucks :rage:
Nothing all year would be as easy to put together as Retro Month.
Pick 5 Countdowns. 5 things. That's it. That's your week's work done.

Anyway, it is what it is. I'm not happy, but I can't deny people a break after this ******** of a year.
I have faith that things will be back to normal in 2022. (There are 5 Saturdays in Jan 2022 btw, so they will have a chance at redemption)
Yeah you'd think there'd be a fair few clearances that would have to be done but surely that's the same for anything played on Rage.

Re: rage's reason for 'rage goes retro' in February as opposed to January

retro month isn't the same if it's not in January. It's an institution! Plus, January is a time when a lot of people are off work (or school, if you're a younger retro fan) - so have more time to relax and recover from sitting up all night on Saturday.

Surely rage have access to a list of unrepeated Countdowns. All they needed to do was pick 20 (about their average for a 5-weekend month) and let the archive/digitisation/rights clearance folk do their work. It could have been done in March.

Re: rage's reason for 'rage goes retro' in February as opposed to January

The main reason retro month (or as I like to call it Countdown) was in January because the music industry was in Hiatus with no new record releases, nothing new so we went retro. Come February too many factors will effect retro month and I guess we'll get a pretty poor 4 weeks.

Even The Rock Arena & Recovery diehards, sure we have to have Some Compensation????

Maybe the Abbo's wanted the month changed from January to February? Christmas is going to be in November this year.

I need to call you out on this ridiculous comment. Definitely not cool.

Probably best not to quote putrid posts like that one on the rare occasions they occur here. It means more posts that Jason has to delete.
