I tend to let music find me rather than go looking for it

I worked at a supermarket and got sick of the songs but at least they didn't play the same song 6 times a day - which is what most of the major radio stations do.

We had one station on over Christmas and I couldn't stand it. Seriously, they must have 20 songs they replay over and over and over again.

Love blasting The Saints and The Angels on Fridays, the best day to listen to music at work

 

[Bradesmaen]

Woman at work has gone on holidays for 5 weeks, I instantly put it to JJJ (from Nova). Probably won't turn it up as loud as I had it friday as I'll be shifting into an office with another person.

I use to work at a reception area in a communal area and the woman I worked with was lovely but had THE most pedestrian taste in music I have ever come across. We argued over the radio - naturally - and in the end we took it to our supervisor who said it was Triple M or nothing. I said "Fine. It's nothing then." She thought I was joking......I wasn't

I haven't read the whole thread but I think this could work:

Go down to an aquarium shop and ask to get some magnets that clean fish tanks.

Take those to work and put them close the radio antena. It should fuzz up any station they have.

Problem solved.

Then what do you do?

Listen to them bitch?

Shit plan imo.

 

[XFactor1979]

personally anyone who is prejudiced against music by triple j is someone who still gets scared at scary movies, even though you should know all the tricks by now!

triple j might play songs with swearwords here and there but its pretty normal after you stop going "oh no! they swore in a song", or 'where is "Now, I've had the time of my life"? or a song i might be comfortable in being safe in knowing?'

i listen to 2ser at work occassionally, now that is definitely anti mainstream music, and only a select percentage listens to that kind of music, but the highlight of a music listening day was when there was a piano version of the Theme of Miller's Crossing- a Coen Brothers movie, come on the radio.

furthermore the stuff that gets played on mainstream stations is for people who arent grown up. i mean i liked music by michael jackson and brian adams when i was a child too, but that was when i was a child, because i liked music when i was 10, doesnt mean i will like it 20 years time. Life goes on, and SO DOES MUSIC

i mean even nirvana and grunge and all that "angry" stuff i listen to as a teenager is something that is not me anymore

i'm cool with swearing, my reaction is more or less; "oh no! jjj and obese records are systematically butchering an entire genre of music!"

So, this thread has established that commercial radio plays shit music, and the average person has a shit taste in music.

I worked that out when I was 15.

 

[Zarrix]

Then what do you do?

Listen to them bitch?

Shit plan imo.

I turned off the power to the radio, it was funny watching them scramble. Then I realised that I had turned off other important equipment as well, so I just pointed it out to them .

I need something to prevent them from listening to the crap.

well... yes

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Well he can't have it both ways, either you listen to them bitch or you listen to the radio.

 

[patsmith]

well... yes

So you now understand why it is in a radio station's best interests to play shit music?

man, i want to party with you.

can we be friends?

 

[XFactor1979]

how about the party of no music?

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

Fox is painful, everyone sounds like Chris Brown and I assume they all are til I'm told otherwise. Although today I couldn't believe they played Under the Bridge by RHCP.

 

[XFactor1979]

for all the middle aged housewives and people who know nothing other than "comfortable" music

the adult contemporary hit of the winter-> JUST FOR YOU!

[bunsen burner]

I hate the "Adult contemparay" genre as much as anyone but you know what makes me laugh about all you guys bagging it?

One day you will be that old fossil listening to stuff that lost its edge decades before. RHCP was edgy as f*** in it's day. Now it's embarassingly MOR. There will come a time when the new genres don't appeal.

 

[XFactor1979]

if i get a job as a dj on mix fm i will program aphex twin's come to daddy as the song to get all the lovers into the mood

when that day comes, I want you to shoot me in the head

you would have had to have got a haircut and got a real job by then

The job, the family, the big television. The washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electric tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisure wear, luggage, three piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing gutters, getting by, looking ahead, the day you die.
