Why is it that DJ’s always feel the need to talk over the intros to songs? We don’t want to hear your sorry excuse for attempted clever banter we want to hear the DAMN SONG!!
Do you think you’re cool or talented being able to talk just up until the singer begins? You’re NOT. You’re fucking annoying and messing up my enjoyment of the song. —And now….The Beatles

Totally agree… shut the fuck up!
some of this shit that passes for music, is better off not played. and the intro, whatever, would be a vast improvement on it further. good music needs no intros, and explains itself. nough said there.
The electronic revolution of the last 10 years is truly astounding and has left me well and truly in the techno-dust like the cranky old Luddite that I am. Something half the size of a deck of smokes produces better sound quality than my parents hi-fi from the 60’s. So how come most popular music is so digitally over-engineered that it sounds like you’re listening to it on a 1940’s radio set?
I remain gleefully and defiantly stuck in the 80’s. Gimme my “Flock Of Corbies” , er, sorry, “Seagulls”
MORE ROCK LESS TALK !!!
Nothing makes me reach for a CD in the morning quicker than hearing the “morning crews”from one of the usual radio stations I listen to that are preprogramed in my truck ( 96.5, 100.0,100.9 ,104.3 )…I just fucking woke up people…shut up & let the music play.
Shit…I meant 100.1 ~:(
I used to love listening to local radio, hell, I wanted to work in radio. Problem is, with the advent of MP3 players that do the job, and aren’t reliant on the whim of CRTC regs that force me to listen to a Nickleback/Joel Plaskett/Bryan Adams track every hour, I don’t listen to the radio anymore. That said, I used to hate it when they used to go over the lyrics of a track.
Fuck local radio with a rusty fork. I have tons of CDs so I throw five in the glove compartment of the family chariot and change them on the first of every month. That way I avoid Led Zepplin and the Eagles and anything that resembles nostalgia. Been there, done that, my ear drums have had it with that overplayed shit. I’m more into indie Brit bands like Dirty Pretty Things (I saw their last concert in London at the Roundhouse – fuckingfuckingfucking awesome) goin’ nuts over potential Libertine reunion. I like to think my musical choices have evolved instead of remaining in a desperate time warp.
Still, I enjoy the odd polka. ‘Specially when I’m eating cabbage rolls.
People still listen to radio?? lol. Who knew.
Amen brother/sister!!
At my workplace, the radio is the only thing that keeps you sane. Today, 1043 played a Cheap Trick song other than I want you to want me. I was shocked!
