I don't mind MY selections/playlists over and over again. But I  
don't always like the repetiveness of what the radio stations  
do.

Sounds like the station DJ thought it was "cool" to have  
discovered such a song that mimicks the sound of the station  
callsign - and have the band being domestic too. But yeah..   
enuff can be enuff.

I'm rather enjoying my Spotify subscription. I pull complete  
albums that might interest me and then play then locally  
(offline) for several repeat listens randomized and give the  
tunes a chance to be deemed repeat-worthy or not.

Here is a recent playlist that does not tire me at all:
