oh shit, really?

although i do not listen to the radio much, i have begun to listen more this summer. the reason is simple: i like to listen to it as i get ready in the mornings. it's mostly a morning show, with a few songs and traffic reports mixed in, which is fine because if i hear some funny stuff in the morning it will help wake me up and feel better in the morning than i probably should.

the reason i dont listen to the radio much is because the radio is complete shit these days. 90% of the songs suck, and you're getting the radio edits of the ones that dont. also, most stations dont go more than one or two songs before taking a commercial break, which is likely to last as long as the songs you've just heard.

but this morning i turned the radio on and was delighted to hear a few good songs in a row. songs i liked, could sing to...songs from when i was in high school. then they said it: it's sunday morning, so they're doing some "backtrack" thing for a few hours. well, thanks. thanks for making me feel old radio station, thanks. it's bad enough when i go to the bar and see kids there who were freshmen when we graduated, or who i coached years ago. i did not need this.

goddamn kids with their baggy pants, and their pop music.
