Radio Playlists

"Radio Plays My Favourite Songs..." I beg to differ.

Today folks being the extremely intelligent, journalistic virtuoso that I am, I will try and explore the mind boggling meta-physics of radio playlists.
I am going to be using bulleted lists to both emphasize my points and to make me look like an intelligent internet type. Mostly I'm going to complain about the musical phenomenon we here on the internet like to call "Jo-Jo".
Ok let us start:


  • Between 6:00 and 18:00 weekdays there are 5 djays on "Joburgs Number One Hit Music Station"
  • Based on an independent study by a very famous and extrememly clever internet personality (namely ME) JoJo's new single "Too Little Too Late" is played 8 times during the course of the day. (I have counted)
  • Wht the hell?
Let's break this down and explore a little deeper. (Prepare for another bulleted list)
  • 15 years old (ok, ok Im not discriminating here, this is just an important plot point)
  • If my daughter had to start singing lyrics like:

    "Ooh no
    Come with me, stay the night
    You say the words but boy it don't feel right
    What do you expect me to say (You know it's just too little too late)
    You take my hand, and you say you've changed
    But boy you know your beggin don't fool me
    Because to you it's just a game
    So let me on down
    Cause time has made me strong"

    I would have to beat the hell out of her.
  • Even if Radio Djays had the exact same playlist (which I'm sure they do), even with my pathetic math skills (In high school they had to invent new letters of the alphabet to grade me)

    "5 Djays + 1 Playlist = Same song played 5 times." INCORRECT 8 times is the answer
  • Yes your mind is boggled
  • As is mine

So as you can see by my amazing math formula and the amount of bulets used in this short abuse of free speech I am just as confused as you are, I don't even know what my original argument was.
Anyhoo Thank You internet

Introduction, Grammys, Rants

Introduce Yourself Right On!
Ok its easy to bitch about music, but they make it too easy. That's why I started this blog, to hopefully find some like minded idiots that will maybe listen to an idiot posting on the internet with illusions of grandeur of becoming an internet superstar hurrr!

I will pretty much be bitching about music, even the music I like, I will do some CD and band reviews (though it will not be pretty, as the pish that is constantly being churned out and flooding our aural senses doesn't give me much hope or inclination to write good things about them), and I will constantly complain about the state of South African radio. (Yes I'm from Johannesburg, South Africa) I will try post at least twice a week, not that anyone cares, but i will try as I do have a paying job, this is just me trying to get at a piece of this elusive internet pie or something.

Anyway just a quick note I caught the last bit of the Grammys last night, am I the only one who thought that John Mayer looked like Edward Scissor Hands with down syndrome?
I'll let you think about that while you try to remember or google an image of
"Johnn Mayer looking like Edward Scissor Hands with down syndrome" I rest my case.

Till next time internet friends
I'm out
