re: my previous post

WTFF? For those of you who need translation, that means what the fucking fuck? 102.5 had me mystified all week long. Admittedly, I listened way more than I usually would, out of sheer curiosity, so if it was a marketing scheme, it most assuredly worked. However, not in a good way. Let me first address S-Po...when I say standards, I wish I meant the golden oldies. Those i could have handled. By standards, I was referring to the super golden oldies, like from the 40s. Like That's Amore and Mack the Knife and any of the other 8 songs that play on a continuous loop at olive Garden until you want to stab someone with the knife you use to cut fruit. Oops. I regressed a little there. 3 1/2 years of hearing that shit will leave permanent damage to your psyche. Well, the next day was no better, seeing as how it was "All Led Zeppelin, all the time" for 24 hours. I'm thinking any serious Led Zeppelin fan that would be interested in such a format would probably own a CD or two. Plus, the same song played the entire drive to work, which takes about 15 minutes. Then I realized that the all led zeppelin format is genius, because they only neeed one CD the fill an entire broadcast day, seeing as how every song is approximately four and half hours long. Ok. Then the next day, looking to inprove on the sheer entertainment perfection of the day before, 102.5 boasted an all Garth Brooks format. And the thunder rolls, indeed. Needless to say, i couldn't get enough of that shit. I am not ashamed to admit that as far as the aural rape some people call country music goes, Garth Brooks is the man. I know every single word to every single song on No Fences, and I just admitted it in a public forum read by millions. BUT. That doesn't mean I need a radio station dedicated to the man. Luckily, sometime yesterday...noonish, I think, 102.5 reverted back to their old format, leaving me with a slim hope that I will still get my Casey Kasem fix in the morning. Let's all cross our collective fingers on this one, and chalk this week down to randomness. It wasn't as soul crushing as when, say, 103.3 changed from the best rock station ever to a country format. On April 1st, no less, making us all think it was a super cruel April Fool's Day joke, when in fact the real joke was on us, as it was no joke. But, it sucked in it's own way. Oh well. I gotta run. I am bartending a private party this evening in H-town, and I am superstoked. Lots o' cash, free booze, and no Nazi inspired "I Heart My Job" t-shirts...
