You know what's really cool? Looking at the above playlist, I'm noticing that a full 2/3 of the records I played I've NEVER PLAYED BEFORE. Ever. I know I'm only on once a week for 2 hours, but I've been on for almost 5 years and I still haven't run out of material for ya. There ARE enough cool records that could be spun without getting stale even though they're "Oldies".
Not that the only FM Oldies station within listening range would ever do that--heck they're currently ALL Christmas ALL the time right now! That started BEFORE Thanksgiving. When there's a COMPETING station in the city doing the SAME THING! How annoying is THAT??
Who ARE these people that want to hear ALL Christmas ALL the time this early in the season? Don't they have CD players? Ipods? Oy. Wait, a colleague of mine at work just told me how she's LOVING waking up to Lite FM and hearing Christmas. It "fills her with glee". HEY I'M NOT ANTI CHRISTMAS SONGS BUT PLEASE WAIT AT LEAST UNTIL DECEMBER!
The problem, as I see it, is that the radio station programmers are programming for the remaining few that listen to radio. Most people gave up the medium long ago. Programming for sheep, if you will. To which I say BAAA!
Want an alternative? Give Brother Kevin his own radio program! Let he and Primitive George (with yours truly as permanent guest host) do a Funky Soul Show! Let Vince Vincent continue to bring in live musical acts like Uncle Monk!
Just got word that our Annual VKR Holiday Bash will be Friday December 19. Thanks, Lyn! Staff DJs are welcome to stop by between 12 and 5 for festive cheer and join ME on the air to dish on MY show. One listener called to say he was making note of the date. I hope it was so that he would remember to tune IN and not OUT.
Til next Friday at 3....
