I'm back!

.... at least for 1 blog entry. I keep telling myself I'm gonna update this thing often and it never happens, so no more promises!

While many know I'm a musician and love music as a whole (with the exception of a few music types), I have really come to dislike FM radio. I've known it all my life, but it's just annoyed me beyond belief lately. I work in an office where they play soft rock on average. The station is called Q99 in Roanoke. The thing that really bugs me is lack of creativity in music selection and "playlists" they use. They play the same damn songs EVERY day. While I understand the usual hits that they're probably supposed to play, they also play songs over 10-20 years old every day like they just came out a week ago. While I like some of those songs, why play these songs every day and not mix them up. And these songs aren't necessarily ones you'd think were classics to a point where they need to be played more than once a day every day (I think one is called "Leader of the Band" or something like that). The same song loops over and over. Why not actually mix it up a bit? I can't be the only one listening to this station wanting something just a little different. The others I work with were feeling the same way and we decided to boycott so we went to another station. Once again, more looping of songs, but at least they mix the older songs a bit.

And here's the big one for me: If I ever hear that song "How to save a life" again, I'm throwing the radio out the window.
