Talk_Dude said:I'm confused, too. I thought you weren't going to microanalyze Atlanta radio any more.
Don't they have radio stations in Arizona that you can listen to?
Wow....how many weeks are people gonna bash my'boy KDM?! Seriously, I have not got involved with the most recent CHR/Groove/Q100 discussions on here lately cuz lord knows I get bashed here for sharing my thoughts on these subjects here as well.
Also, my defending KDM is certainly NOT necessary as I am sure that he, like myself couldn't care less what others think of his opinions. But, several times (just in one week), comments have come back in regards to his opinions suggesting that he "lives in Arizona" so, he should stop "littering" up the Atlanta boards with how the stations there compare to ones here....(and so on).
What is this....5TH PERIOD LUNCH back in High School? Are the ARIZONA-cliques not allowed to mingle with the ATLANTA-cliques? Really....(NO, SERIOUSLY).....what?! :
These types of comments, story sharing, radio-station comparing are from people who, like KDM ...(MYSELF included) are actually PASSIONATE ABOUT RADIO! And that IS (I believe), why these boards were created. (by people...AND FOR people) that are "PASSIONATE", frustrated or excited about some of the RIDICULOUS decisions or half-assed attempts....(or better yet), NO attempts to bring back an exciting CHR format or rhythmic-CHR format to a once exciting, (TOP 10) radio market.
So, while some of the comments from others about this subject are saying to virtually "get over it", "Atlanta radio is what it is", and "if you don't like Atlanta radio, then stay on your own Arizona boards...like it's now like "turff" thing! Those comments are certainly welcome as much as ours are but, at least we are (albeit, at times) OVERLY-PASSIONATE about radio.....It seems that some of you, on these boards are apparently more passionate about someone from a different city/state messaging over here on the Atlanta boards. (just so totally unnecessary). Okay, I'm done. ;D
KDM 7000 said:I just say what I say and trust that whoever feels or chooses to feel uneasy about it must be the ones who should feel "guilty" for whatever "mess" I'm discussing. On-air personalities, dj's, or anyone not in control of the overall station sound should ignore all radio-board criticism that's not in regards to them specifically because of course we know they can't do anything about the formatting sound.
That's awesome....I couldn't agree more! I totally get you dude. Like the market out there as well!
Musically, I too love (electro, trance, breaks, rhythmic, pop, euro:classic-cheese and the good stuff and so much more) And of course with Radio: the whole, WTF?-factor about Atlanta radio especially the Rhythmic/CHR and the ups and downs of (whoever) The Groove is this week! All I'm saying is, I get you.
And you know, some of the peeps on here (lov'em or hate'em), still feel like my virtual family sometimes. Even tho, some in fact DO need a chill-pill. But....being that the 90's are truly over in so many ways, I guess those "chill-pills" just aren't what they used to be....(hahahaha!)
Peace, my' brotha.
And to all who have read this....ONE LOVE, always!
(stop me KDM...I now just threw on that first PM DAWN record, And I think I still dig it)!
.....thanks.
