An Hour of Radio

Here's one of the strangest concepts I've seen for a blog:

    Here I'll review a random hour of radio, maybe about once weekly. Commercial music radio only, and I think at least to start I'm gonna go up the dial. Each week I'll suggest a song that the radio should have played, and you can listen to it and see if you agree with me. Fun, right?

If you like music reviews, as I do, then yeah, it's pretty fun. Here's a sample from 95.5 WBRU FM. Tuesday, April 3, 2007. 8:07 to 9:07 PM:

    8:45. Bush, Comedown. C-
    You know what's weird? That Gavin Rossdale has been, and continues to be, married to Gwen Stefani. What do they talk about? Does she say, "I'm gonna make a song where I sample 'The Lonely Goatherd Song' but that otherwise sounds like 'Apollo 9' by Adam Ant, and it's gonna be huge!" And then he says, "That's nice, dear, but I think I'll just keep on clinging to the washed up, dated mix of grunge and metal that made me briefly, irritatingly famous, even though no one cares about it anymore, including me from the sound of it." What a weird couple.
