Roast Media Shakes Head, Part 7

[VineValerian]

I'm surprised when I find people still listen to radio.

Don't you dare knock my old crystal set receiver!

Fresh to triple m.... That's a backwards step...

*If I turn on the radio... Triple m, fresh or what ever... I'm not interested in people talking play some ******* music!!! ******* annoying when I can drive to work and not hear 1 song... Well... in all fairness... I live like 8mins away from my work... So I'll let that slide for now... But the point still stands.

Spotify, di.fm, soundcloud etc etc etc is your friend

Radio sucks anyway. Why would anyone listen to it when there are so many other "advert free" options where you can listen to the stuff YOU want to hear and not the stuff they think the masses want to hear littered inside hosts dribble and "in jokes"

There is no point listening to radio if you want music.

I don't really get what vibe Triple M seems to want anyway. Do they even know?

The same vibe Blockbuster had when streaming services became a thing.

Podcasts, people. Podcasts.

Breakfast radio is the lowest form of entertainment, why would anyone put themselves through it when you have internet.

i appreciate the old crooners tunes on ABC 891 i think it is? apart from that i can't listen to any radio, it all feels like it caters to a demographic of person that doesn't actually exist, and if they do i don't wanna know em

This is the main reason I stopped listening to the wireless, especially commercial stations.

I think it was Dylan that provided this web site a while back - find radio stations all over the world, surely one or two of them will have some decent music, hey?

I linked it in one of the TRTT's awhile back after a mate in California sent it to me, but Dylan could have linked it as well as I dont read all posts when it races ahead sometimes.

He reckons it's more to do with his slack diabetes control over the years.

Robbo reminds me of that character in the Frontline comedy series who does the video editing, always with a f** in his mouth, coughing and wheezing. That actor died in his 50s, I'm not sure how old Robbo is - probably younger than he looks.

Best song of the 80s, not that that was a particularly difficult challenge.
