jane.....i really don't listen to the radio much. mainly because it's just become another outlet for advertisers to push their products and retailers to push their businesses and to me, the focus is more on the money-making aspect of it and is no longer about playing music. plus, i don't know if it's because of the music tastes of the particular dj's, or if the rotation of songs is regulated by some guy in a suit, but it seems as if less and less i'm hearing the kind of music i'd like to hear and instead am hearing the same, over-played, uninspiring music over and over and over again. so i listen to my cd's. to me, there's something that's still very exciting to wait for a new cd to be released.....when sloe gin came out on 8/21, i woke up like a kid on christmas day and drove to record & tape traders to buy it, then i drove to the gas station and filled up my tank, and cruised the highway and listened to the entire cd with the music loud and the windows down.....it was amazing! and then when the cd was over, and i popped it out....on the local radio station was some jewelry store advertisement about how they sell the biggest, brightest diamonds that will make a girl realize how much she's loved. what a joke. that's why i'm not a fan of radio much anymore these days....it's not about the music, it's about the advertisers using the music to sell their product. and that's bullshit. kinda reminds me of what tom petty sings about in his cd "the last dj".....just how the whole music industry seems to be changing for the worst, and radio is a big culprit of the slow demise......anyhoooo...sorry i couldn't be of any help to your survey......i'll step down from my soapbox now.
hey, are you a member of the street team? i think i emailed them like 4 times requesting to be a member.....maybe me saying that i'm a 36-year old gal turned them away from me...ha ha ha....maybe they're looking for college aged kids? hmmm. but hell, i've done the street team thing for gov't mule, and this last east coast tour when i got a stack of info cards in the mail, i spent 3 days talking to people at bars, handing those things out, and hyping up mule's music! so this old gal can handle it!!! ha ha!
good luck with your survey.
peace & hugs,
jenn
tomorrow night can't get here sooner!!!!!
