It's 1516 hours as I listen to The Stooges do "ATM" on the KEXP.org podcast from the South By Southwest Music Festival. & since I'm housesitting, I guess I can finish copying the Rick Dees charts on my ledger. It's 1518 hours.
It's 2143 hours and 72° outside. I believe I better address the topic the title displays. Earlier, I was loggin' on AccuRadio.com when I saw this stuff about Internet radio becoming extinct or something like that. Something about royalties and stuff, u'no, in this Napster-era & things like that. IHMO, the fact that the Benjamins could drive Internet radio out of existence really, really sucks. I mean, this is y WOXY.com was off the heir 4 a while, & they could burn up another one of they're nine lives if this happens again. Do u know what terrestrial radio in Bakersfield is like? It's a reg. part of me as a musicophile, yes, but a lot of the stations here are Spanish. & funny thing, KUZZ, a country station, don't got a strangehold on the Arbitron ratings like it used to; a station called The New Hot 94.1 {hip-hop, pop} caters to many listeners, especially in the target audience. But anyone who gets stuck w/ the AM/FM dial on occasions, such as in a motor vehicle, should no about the monotony of songs, dumbass DJ's, & of course, all those damn commercials. Perhaps it'd b EZ not 2 give a hoot if u r as old as my parents, who only listen to our NPR affiliate here in Bakersfield (89.1 KPRX-FM) or one of our two soft rock stations. It's 2347 hours and 69° outside. "King of Wishful Thinking" by Go West plays for the 52nd thyme; it's 2400 hours.
Now the question asks, "Can I save Internet radio?" I do remember writing this editorial to my gnus-paper, The Bakersfield Californian, asking that. & Dr. Mendoza, my psychiatrist, has the newspaper clipping on my file whenever I c him. Twas over a year ago; I'd h8 2 consider myself a 1-hit wonder w/ that thing on the paper. But the least I've done since than was say that the "experimental" comic strips they show on, like, a two or three-month series suck & they should show a daily "Baldo." As I download a Yes music video on YouTube.com, I perhaps tell myself that until I get a jobb, I can't really do anything. I tell myself that a lot. Incidentally, I expect 2 gradu8 this semester. Which reminds me 2 study for my health midterm this Monday.
I think what I wish 2 say amidst all this gibberish is that I feel insignificant.
Its 1419 hours. The #5 Butler vs. #4 MD game is now 3.6 secs from completing as the Terrapins are behind 59-61. Now playing on iTunes is a podcast from KEXP starring Band of Horses. & I got 24 minutes left to finish downloading a podcast of The Stooges at the South by Southwest Music Festival 2007 from KEXP.org.
Its 2133 hours as I return from church and watching a musical at a high school I never attended; "Together Forever" by Rick Astley plays on iTunes for the seventh time (second time tonight). I also herd from a Bonniephile that Maryland lost today, as did VA Commonwealth. It's 11:35 PM in Fargo, ND. & I just successfully downloaded a podcast of Ted Leo from WOXY.com and downloading a song from the iTunes song called "Forget Me Nots" by Patrice Rushen, which I heard on The New Groove 99.3 FM between Mass and a visit to Quizno's. It's 2137 hours as "Ooh Ahh" by Grits (featuring TobyMac) plays on iTunes for the 23rd thyme.
The show that I saw over at Centennial High School was "Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." I've been watching clips on YouTube.com, particularly the one that features "The Pharaoh Song"--the one w/ the seven fat cows.
It's 1349 hours. The #6 Louisville vs. #3 TX A&M game is tied 23-23 with under 3 mins left in the 1st ½. I'm almost finished listening 2 a podcast of a David Vandervelde performance on WOXY.com. & I have 2 continue updating a lo-tech database of songs that were on Top 40 countdowns & Billboard charts. It's 1352 hours as I now listen to "Are You Jimmy Ray" twice.
Its 6:53 PM in St. John's, NB as I just saw a man about a hoarse. Now playing is the just-downloaded podcast of The Stooges from the South By Southwest Music Festival 2007. It's 1454 hours as the Cardinals vs. Aggies game is tied 56 apeace with over 8 mins left in the game.
Its 1534 hours as TX A&M defeats Louisville and I play "Someday" by Nickelback twice. Since I have my own countdown in my iPod, nee the iPod Top 25, I have the ability to push songs up the chart by monitoring the play count on iTunes. This is the seventy-sixth time I'm playing "Someday," which is #8. The #7 song, with 78 plays, is "The Dead Heart" by Midnight Oil. I also have their song "Beds Are Burning." It's 3:38 PM in Kelowna, BC as Nickelback finishes and I now play a KEXP Song of the Day podcast by The Saturday Knights called "45." It's 3:45 PM in Pendleton, OR as I play a country song to complement the rappers The Saturday Knights. Now playing is "John Deere Green" by Joe Diffie. & this is actually the first time I'm playin' it since I had to reinstall iTunes. It's 4:47 PM in Nyssa, OR as I should steppe out to by tickets 2 c that Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that I mentioned. It's 1548 hrs. It's 1539 hours.
It's 1432 hours as Butler defeats Maryland and advances to the Suite Sixteen, as has OH St. It's 3:36 PM in Tucumcari, NM as I finished listening to Band of Horses; now playing for the forty-ninth time on iTunes is "King of Wishful Thinking" by Go West. You know, from the "Pretty Woman" soundtrack. & The Stooges download is almost complete.
I just got a call from my Dad. Turnzout that my folks are at Walnut Creek visiting my sister Jasmyn and should return tomorrow. I guess that means that I have unlimited use of the computer this weekend, so I can finish copying the Rick Dees charts on my ledger w/o Anna using this computer 2 listen to her alt. rock songs and logging on to that Tribal Wars website. As the TV is still on muting & tuned to the Louisville vs. Texas A&M game, I will probably spend a lot of thyme on this computer. I'll likely be downloading the podcast of Ted Leo on WOXY.com while I'm at church and then watching "Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" over at Centennial High School. Guess I better leave at 3:45 to buy tickets before attending Mass at 5:00. It's 3:14 PM in Ukiah, CA as "Far Away" by Nickelback finishes playing. It's 3:39 PM in Gilette, WY as "Stab My Back" by The All-American Rejects plays for the one hundred & forty-second time. It's the most played song on my iPod. & it's 43-47 Aggies in the #6 Louisville vs. #3 TX A&M game w/ 12:49 left. Guess the guy was fouled beyond the ark.
