The only song worth hearing is In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel, the only way to hear it is on a pair of quality speakers that are being held aloft by John Cussack in your backyard.

A is the for the atrocious abominated acts that YOu committed. A is also for ass-i-nine, eight, seven, and six.

B, b, b - b is for your belligerent, bitchy, bottomless state of affairs, but why?

C is for the cantankerous condition of our character, you have no cut-out.

Radio is boring with all the FCC regulations that makes almost every single thing said a wink-wink, nudge-nudge kind of joke for morning talk shows.

Just call that human being a oval office already, god drat it.

I got yelled at by a DJ when i was 10 because I wouldnt quit calling into t-95 and requesting Aerosmith - Angel pretending to be different people as only a 10 year old can

I think most of the time people do it because theyre trying to hit on someone or remember a passed loved one on day of death/birth

What is this the loving 80s? You have a cellphone, if you want to hear a song so badly pull it up on your phone and you will actually get to listen to it.

But you get to dedicate it to some other lonely rapist out there listening to the same station. Like sleepless in seattle except I haven't seen that and I'm making assumptions

Obama's last executive decision is going to be putting Three Olives on the CIA's kill list and will make history as the first publicly announced authorized domestic assassination care of predator drone.

Both of the stations that come in at work are Clear Channel-owned robot stations but not even the good ones that let you text requests or whatever, it just plays 3 or 4 songs and then 5 minutes of commercials over and over and has a song list of maybe 30 songs. Good stuff

Radio stations determine in advance what songs they're going to play. Hotline Bling included. Then when Joe calls and asks if they'll play Hotline Bling, they're like Sure! They record the conversation and play it right before when they had already decided to play Hotline Bling.

I once called in a song to my local non-profit station (an affiliate of the university, paid for by donations, no ads, music constantly from all sorts of genres, DJs that aren't terribly obnoxious) and they played it for me, and it was a song that most people give me blank looks to when I mention it's one of my favorites. And I called it in because I wanted to share a song I liked with the other listeners of the station, and maybe someone out there discovered a new band they like because of it. :unsmith:
