Random Thoughts While Drifting Through the Stations

89.9 FM
Classical music reminds me too much of Bugs Bunny cartoons to actually be taken seriously. I enjoy it, but I can't help but picture Bugs with his feet on Elmer Fudd's head pretending to be the Barber of Seville.

94.1 FM
Casey Casem sounds the same when he's hosting the American Top 40 from 1967 as he does when he's hosting the American Top 40 from 2008. This is because he is a robot. An ageless, musical robot sent from the future; not to destroy us, but to save us all with the glory of pop music.

98.7 FM
"Toto" by Africa is the greatest song ever recorded by humans.

99.9FM
I will never understand country music. Some of it is ok, but the vast majority of it is un-listenable music. How did the stoic and iconic image of the American Cowboy, something so ingrained in the pop-culture fabric of society, get bastardized and mass produced and morphed into Kenny Chesney?

102.1 FM
I will never get a girl with apple bottom jeans. Or boots with the fur.

102.7FM
Static.

107.5FM
Dear American Idol,
For the love of God, stop.
Love,
Lars

88.5FM
Car Talk is the only good show on this whole God-foresaken station. National Public Radio is the audio equivalent to watching grass grow.

102.9FM
Christmas music should be socially acceptable to listen to all year long.

103.1FM
Static.

94.1FM
The song "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon is ridiculous. Carly, you're chastising this gentlemen, calling out all of his qualities that make him so vain. And then you say that you bet he thinks the song is about him. Well it is! The song is about him! So why shouldn't he think it's about him when it is, in fact, about him! James Taylor did the right thing when he dumped your ass.

107.5FM
Radio DJ's have the easiest job on the face of the planet, and a microphone in which to share their ridiculous thoughts, banter, and experiences to the world. I want their job.
