I worked at one of said stations for ages & needed a break, I think it's time to go back.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822820465535539404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473503291308010408.post-28516375777106510532011-04-13T19:27:09.290-05:002011-04-13T19:27:09.290-05:00jerry and holly, you both fascinate me. mostly be...jerry and holly, you both fascinate me. mostly because the breadth/depth of your tastes are pretty similar to mine. wish i knew you guys in real life. not that holly's ever going to read this, but whatever.<br /><br />(for the record, i like traffic.)<br /><br />i can't believe there is a college radio station that plays justin bieber. i feel physically ill reading that. and it makes me sad that college radio is now getting a reputation for being a joke.<br /><br />there are still good college stations out there that play plenty of weird/unusual shit. i know i play lots of crazy stuff on my radio show. but the powers that be are trying to kill off good college radio stations (and make a pretty penny in the process). and yet...the justin bieber-playing station will probably survive. gah.<br /><br />congrats on your new gig, jerry o. life is too short to spend it in a place you hate. now if i could only take my own advice.nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10323956258139916660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473503291308010408.post-63000459561580032842011-04-10T15:42:23.616-05:002011-04-10T15:42:23.616-05:00College radio, for the most part, has become a com...College radio, for the most part, has become a complete joke.

Where I live now they play Justin Bieber on the college station, so this would probably rate as impossibly obscure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473503291308010408.post-72776553850566859182011-04-06T09:46:29.330-05:002011-04-06T09:46:29.330-05:00Thank you.
