This classic dates back to December 3rd.
And yesterday was Dec 4. Something tells me RR did not dig too hard when looking for her faves.
How hard do they have to dig? There's barely six months of RR sets, and ideally you don't want
to rerun one that has been played in the past few weeks. That limits the selection quite a bit.
I suspect there are less than a hundred to chose from.
There seems to be an entertainment industry taboo against ever acknowledging the existence
of "talent" that has moved on to a competitor, so I strongly doubt we'll ever hear an AL set
broadcast again. And in fact, after AL left in September they filled in with two weeks of DM sets.
But now there's enough done by RR so that isn't necessary.
My point was that the two sets were from consecutive days. Which seems kinda lazy to me. Will we get December 2 rerun tomorrow?
On one hand it can be argued that it is too soon to replay recent sets,
and early sets should not be considered because RR was still coming up
to speed, as it were. This means the pool of available shows is very
small. On the alternate tentacle, one might say that the encore sets
are being chosen with the same care and consideration that every other
aspect of 10@10 is being shown these days. I don't think it makes much
difference either way.
Whether consecutive shows are used, or they are picked "out of a hat,"
or they are carefully chosen based on some defined (but unknown to us)
criteria, I think the result will be pretty much the same. The quality
of song selection has been consistent the past few months, so in the end
the ratio of winners to losers is going to be similar no matter what
method is employed.
