The Husband used to date a girl who was super anal about shaving her kitty and legs. She shaved every single day without fail. She wasn't so anal about shaving her butthole. Bitch must've looked like a party favor when she farted.
I was 18 and it was a cheap nasty 1l bottle. And I was living in New Zealand at the time. Alcohol used to be cheap here in Australia before the muppets in charge decided that the way to combat binge drinking was to raise prices and tax the ever loving shit out of everything fun.
My preferred radio station, 93X, is practically turning into an oldies station. I only listen to it when I'm in my car, like when I went to get groceries tonight. In the 20 or so minutes I was driving they played Longview. I hear this song on that station at least every other day, no exaggeration. Not knocking the song, but it's twenty years old - I've heard it enough in my life. And that's only that particular song; they play Sweet Emotion all the time (which I've complained about before in another WDT), which, again, is ridiculous because I'm only listening to the radio when I'm in the car. I want to hear new music, dammit, and and would give up on this stupid station but I don't know if there are any stations in the Twin Cities that play rock/metal as their main genre.
I wish that the rock stations that I get only played older songs. It would also be nice if all 3 of them didn't play at least one U2 song every hour.
I've been off the market for a while, and when I got married shaving the crack wasn't really a popular thing. I finally hinted at the wife enough that she did it (recently), but it seems to be so common now. When the hell did that change?
Classic rock stations play the same 5 Zeppelin songs, the same 5 AC/DC songs, and the same 5 ZZ Top songs over and over and over. It's as if they dont realize that those bands have been around for 40 years and have extensive catalogs. If you really want to hear interesting radio, get satellite. The college rock stations or musician run stations are worth the money if you listen a fair amount.
This drives me crazy. I assume it has to be because of rights issues, because I can't believe that even the most unimaginative DJ/producer/whoever creates playlists would think that playing the same few songs from bands with huge libraries would be a good thing.
It is 100% because of rights/cost issues. These stations have never evolved. Unless they're top 40 pop they are ALL paying the price for stagnation. Audiences are disappearing. We have one classic rock station, all the other rock stations went tits up. The modern rock was still playing alternative garbage nobody listened to since '99. Not a little, but a lot, on heavy rotation. They augmented it with Staind, Godsmack, and Breaking Benjamin. They had a .9 share before they finally closed. Then execs wondered why no one gave a shit to listen. If you're getting 5 ZZ Top songs, you're lucky. All we get is Tush and La Grange. Nobody would know ZZ Top released an album last year. The all talk station actually made a clip they'd air "Wonder what The Gator is playing now..." It was a sound effect of a radio tuning in to Stairway To Heaven because they play Zeppelin all day long. It's a joke now it is so bad. Hey remember that dance troupe that did the trashy booty dancing shit? They're back with twerking while wearing hot pants. Russians aren't so bad after all.
Even with limited song selection per artist, there are still a LOT of artists over the years, and nothing is shittier then when a classic rock station becomes a playground for the DJ and/or music director to force their favourite songs on the people in the exact same way Nitwit did. At my job when they ALWAYS had the old classic rock station playing, during an 8 hour shift-- every single day-- the DJ would fucking play "Solsbury Hill" an already obnoxious and overplayed song by Peter Gabriel. Every. Fucking. Day. That song is a thousand minutes of faggy flute-tooting and it drove us so crazy my co-worker actually called the station from a payphone on his break and threatened to jump to DJ in his parking lot if he didn't cut it out. The most hilarious thing is the DJ would constantly be giving "Shout outs" like people out there were CONSTANTLY requesting this song, like Corey over in Westmount or the guys down at Gore Road Auto Mart wanted to hear that stupid song-- shitty when it originally was released-- three times a day every day in a selection of nearly unlimited songs, many of them great. I mean, I have heard "20th Century Boy" as many times on the radio in my entire life as I have heard "Solsbury Hill" in one week.
I don't understand radio requests at all. It's 2014 and you want to hear a famous song... so you call a radio station? On your fucking smartphone? That can play any song ever?
I call radios for contests, but never to request a song. Chances are I might not be listening when they finally get around to playing Hangin' Tough so I never bothered. I got pretty good at call-in contests, though. I've won lots of tickets to concerts or various race events around here (those I usually give to friends) and even a guitar once.
It's a stupid validation thing. By getting a DJ to play a request, s/he's validating your liking of a particular song/artist. Because some (many?) idiots can't decide for themselves whether or not they should like some piece of music and need others to affirm their decision.
So if I ask a rock station to play Baby One More Time and they do, does that mean I have exceptional taste in music or does it mean the DJ is bored and has a sense of humor?
Why are so many people getting married so young? I know a couple people that got married yesterday at 22, and several others that were only 20 over the past several months. And then a friend of mine's son just bought a ring at 21 for a girl he's only been dating about 5 months. They're religious so I think it's because they want to have sex. I told my friend that and she agreed. I'm curious to see how some of these play out.
