Count my vote for talking over music, too.  For one thing, it tends to keep
the talk down and to the point...if you've got :12, well you've gotta get
your point across in :12. To me it also makes things flow better.

I will qualify this though, by saying that 1972-style posting every song
every time, or talking over vocals like WABC used to do gets old fast.
