The radio station I listen to cranks out the cheesy pop tune
Question Posted Sunday October 12 2003, 10:08 am
The radio station I listen to cranks out the cheesy pop tunes until I'm ready to explode some one/thing. Does this give me permission to send them hatemail until they play some REAL music? (and it is the only radio station in the area, besides classical)

<P>Ever seen the movie <I>Pump Up the Volume</I>? Start your own underground station. Loads of fun, I'd guess. (I believe it's even legal as long as you don't exceed a certain power level. I can check that if you want.)

There are plenty of sites you can go to and listen to radio stations all over the country with little or no trouble. It usually works best with high-speed internet... listening to the radio online with a modem doesn't work very well.

There's no reason to listen to the same dumb stuff hour after hour, I'd be really mad if I only had one radio station cranking Britney Spears 24/7. Tell them you want Dar Williams and you want her now! Or The Tragically Hip (it's pop!) or Ani Difranco. They don't have to be totally weird, but they could at least try. Then campaign to get a public radio station somewhere near you, because those rock. [ spacefem's advice column | Ask spacefem A Question ]
