Maybe that is why I received a survey from them in my email box today that should only take a short 5 minutes to fill out. Hmm...
Well, I don't have five minutes to help them do their market research for free, but I will leave one little tidbit of advice here. Dave Beasing, even though we have been over this before, follow closely here because this is probably going to make your head explode. Ready? Here it is:
PLEASE, for the love God and the music you claim to care about so much, STOP playing music on vinyl with all of its snaps, crackles, and pops, and then proceeding to insult my intelligence by telling he how much better it sounds. I don't know what it is about aging hippies and their classic rock vinyl trips but it has got to stop. The world went to a clearly superior technology called CDs over 30(!) years ago, which is why vinyl disappeared entirely, just like the betamax and TRS-80 computer, only like the zombie apocalypse, vinyl records have returned from the dead. Only in the new millennium, Alice in Wonderland world we live in where up is down, wrong is right, and men can choose whatever bathrooms they want based on how they feel that day, is vinyl superior.
I have flipped from your station on several occasions because of the lower fidelity records you insanely choose to play. My musical ear is not the best, and I know if I can hear it, many others can to, and some percentage of them must have the same reaction, and it is a viscerally negative one. Thus playing vinyl doesn't make you more cool, it certainly doesn't add to your cume (nobody tunes a station in because they are playing vinyl records), but it definitely hurts your TSL. In short, it is an unforced error. Please convert your playlist to at least 1980's technology, quit insulting your hearing audience, and if you feel the need to spin anything, spin CDs .
