Clear Proof That Radio Stations Only Play 300 Songs Or So

[Listener]

You're so jaded.

And I'm the one that jaded you

bah-da-da-da-duh (doo doo) bah-da-da-da-DA DAA

(I can't transcribe guitar licks.  Sorry.)

Wow... I just realized I confused the guitar line of 'Dancing Days' with the guitar line of 'Jaded'.  Sorry.

I was a zombie for four years.

I am revisiting that period of my life at this very moment.

Radio sucks.  People who work in radio suck. 

My favorite cousin is a radio DJ. 

Our college station actually kicks all sorts of ass.  It's pretty much the only radio I'll listen to.

My ex was the ClearChannel IT guy.

He turned me against everyone who was ever involved in radio.  It's not really fair, but that's how it is.

In his defense...

(a) ClearChannel blows goats.  I have proof.

(b) Radio station employees generally have no idea how to use their computers, and download more viruses in a day than a seaport hooker in a month.  My virus-catcher worked overtime when I worked for a radio station.  The employees break the computers, they install spyware and adware, they destroy the network, and then they expect the IT guy to fix it.  Radio is probably one of the most difficult industries for an IT guy.  Not difficult work, but mind-numbingly repetitive.

He was a dick.  It really had nothing to do with radio.  Although, 3am phone calls most every night did get old.

The goal of any radio station to get ratings::::

never be #1.  you will be too specialized if you play say "college rock" or "smooth jazz".  your fan base will be loyal, but small.

its best to play watered down stuff that everyone sorta likes...this way you can get a mass of people liking you as the number 2 or 3 station.

its better to have 1,000,000 fickle listeners who like you 2 or 3 on the dial, then 20,000 hardcore ones. 

How do you know so much about radio?

i have no idea. honestly, but i remember that piece of info clanging in my head.

a friend of mine at the missile plant here used to work for Clear Channel in LA.  she said people cried daily. she came here the happy missile godfather tripled her salary, and she hasn't broken down just yet.

Yes, CC treats their employees like shit.

You are disposable.  Know that.

When did I start working for ClearChannel?

[DownSouth]

My ex worked for Clear Channel.  She used to drag me to their parties.  Bunch of turds.

You're so jaded.

And I'm the one that jaded you

I'd like to hear more of The Bravery besides "An Honest Mistake", myself.

If you're serious, I'll put some in the Dump for you.

I didn't know The Charlatans were back to Next Big Thing status.  They sort of dropped off my radar a few albums back.

They're the Next Big Thing on XM.  I'm personally not a huge fan.

I don't even know where The Dump is.  I'm such a n00b.

I don't know where or what the dump is...It seems like a place to upload/download....stuff (music? videos? muskrats?)

/FCC friendly version
The dump is a place where we have song samples and if you enjoy hearing it, you can purchase the entire album from your favorite music provider.

Who is sugar_grrl's host?  I can't remember.  Someone PM dump info.

It's Ursus.  He's napping right now.  I'll PM her.

[Gamplayerx]

Thank you.

I realized after posting that that it would have taken vaguely the same effort to PM her myself as it did to post my post, and certainly less effort than posting this post explaining that.

  You just like bossing people around.  It's ok.  We expect it.
