Message Board > General Chitchat > QotW: Why don't you listen to local radio?!? |
_Griphin_ User Info... | Whilst reading the local paper, there was an article in regards to local radio and why people don't listen to it. The main reason, according to the article, was that more people are downloading and burning music. So the question of the week is: Why don't you listen to local radio?!? I'll start: I don't listen to local radio because I'm too busy either listening to local bands :) or CDs. But I do listen to local radio when I'm working (it's background noise in most cases). Nuff said, comments?!? - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 10:40am | ||
Daryl Armour User Info... | i know someone who has no cable, three big screen tv's but no cable or computer in her home. For fun she reads and listins to the radio could you even imagine that? i've seen her house the radio looks like the centerpiece of everything. - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 10:48am | ||
ROSS B AY User Info... | There's no classic rock stations here anymore, so it's the Van stations for me. I won't listen to anything other than Kansas. "Nuff said.... - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 10:49am | ||
Daryl Armour User Info... | but i am listin to the radio today 101.9FM from 1-2 the vendors!! - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 10:51am | ||
METALNECK User Info... | It is because the local radios play crap. Only good ones that I recieve are 99.9 (seattle) 92.9 (bellingham) and 101.1 (vancouver). - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 10:53am | ||
ML7Mike User Info... | I dont listen to local radio ( except some CFUV shows ) because I cant stand 90% of the mainstream pap that they try and shovel down your throat, ESPECIALLY the CanCon they force on you. If I have to listen , Ill tune into 99.9 or 107.7 which are both american stations who actually have the balls to offend a few people in their quest to play decent music once in a while. - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 11:03am | ||
Gare User Info... | CFUV has definitally opened my eyes to new types of music. I can name lots of shows just off the top of my head The Disciples of Dr. Demento Area of Refuge Skanksters Paradise Eclectic Jazz (that followed soundcheck?) Skaterday Morning what ever it was called..... SoundCheck Stranglehold minors revenge Alive and Dread Garage Grooves Sounds Of Skunk - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 11:49am | ||
Joni User Info... | CFUV is basically the only station I tune in to, with the exception of the occasional specialty show on other stations (ie. Young and the Restless on 107.7) simply because I find the majority of commercial stations repetitive and boring. They offer little variety in their content and quite frankly, I'm not all that interested in hearing the same kind of song hour after hour. Campus/community radio has given me a much broader view into music as a whole as well as its many different genres, as opposed to commercial radio which tends to be quite restrictive in the types of music it plays. - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 2:43pm | ||
el fuckface-o User Info... | ska music is for homeless homos. if you have ever listened to ska music, you may as well go get a lifetime membership to a steam bath in west vancouver. - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 4:43pm | ||
rutabaga_lovejoy User Info... | where did this anti-ska comment come from? It would appear that you sir, are a total idiot. the people in the thread were talking about radio stations, not ska or homeless homosexuals. If your going to send in randon obcene comments please join one of the many MSN boards dedicated to the ramblings of prepubecant skaters. On topic, I've been able to find some realy cool radio stations off the internet. Pirate stations and what not. Radio is an awsome medium if done well. Sadly victoria has little to no concept of quality radio. - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 5:08pm | ||
norm User Info... | Ouch. Fuckface, that's gotta hurt. - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 5:24pm | ||
ROSS B AY User Info... | You mean this isn't the "ska's for faggots" thread? Damnit all.... - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 5:29pm | ||
el fuckface-o User Info... | skaters are just as pathetic as skaqueers. good thing i'm a new wave neo-funk rock jazzer. prepubescent like your boyfriends. that's me rutafaga. what provoked that outburst? if you read threads you post in you would have seen gare mention a few ska shows on CFAG. oh yes. ouch. my feelings and emotions are very hurt. you are a witty and mean person. now i cry like shaggy does lying in bed at night thinking of how his life turned out. - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 5:31pm | ||
rutabaga_lovejoy User Info... | well, I would make fun of you nad make you look like an idiot, but you have done a fine job of it yourself. - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 5:49pm | ||
el fuckface-o User Info... | what you are really trying to say is that you have no comeback. you are a genius. - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 5:59pm | ||
Gare User Info... | ouch that really hurt. Keep shootin that mouth off I'm sure someday you'll find someone who cares about what you think - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 7:26pm | ||
kittykat666 User Info... | i listen to the radio everyday.. i have no tv, just read and listen to the radio.... usually cfuv or b107.3( for 80's musak) the radio rocks... - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 8:02pm | ||
micoll User Info... | nope. the radio, in fact, sucks. only cfuv. what about goddamn clear channel in the states? that shit is scary. - Fri, 12 Dec 2003 8:05pm | ||
rutabaga_lovejoy User Info... | I was a massive tv addict. I'm glad to say that I also am mainly reading and listening to the radio. radio doesnt seem to give the same mind raping feeling as television. Who wants to have a "Kill your tv" party. We all get together, bring our sets and................ smash. - Sat, 13 Dec 2003 1:00am | ||
Brett User Info... | I like ska, and I don't see why eveyone hates it. In 69 and earlier all the skinheads used to be into that shit. Now everyone hates it. If your talking about the 90s pop ska like Reel Big Fish and shit I can see where you are coming from. But nothing beats a good traditional ska song. ps I am fucking hammered so I don't take responsibility for what I SAY - Sat, 13 Dec 2003 1:45am | ||
johnnybrotten User Info... | yup most local radio stations accross north america cram crap! Same old same old...so tired of it all! - Sat, 13 Dec 2003 10:24am | ||
micoll User Info... | well, if the skinheads liked it... - Sat, 13 Dec 2003 10:32am | ||
eboner User Info... | local radio is only good for teh local aspect of it..the zone is good..but hot 103 fuckign sucks they barely ever talk about victoria..plus they play crap music. and the q is good too. ive never heard the ocean tho.... - Sat, 13 Dec 2003 2:23pm | ||
rutabaga_lovejoy User Info... | yeah the original ska music was awsome. now I belive we are on to third wave ska. Completly diferant shit. Conpairing real big fish to the specials is kinda like conpairing linkin park to mushuga or conpairing the donna to souxie and the banshies. Give the quality stuff a listen before you bash the whole fucking genre. - Sun, 14 Dec 2003 2:50am | ||
ScottL User Info... | Only "local" radio i listen to is CBC. I guess i'm just not into the stuff that is often played on the radio, and if i am into it, chances are i own it and can listen to it through my hi-fi stereo, with cd quality as apposed to F.M. I have nothing against local radio, its great, but not my cup o' tea! - Sun, 14 Dec 2003 4:20pm | ||
Teste Coils User Info... | Specials rock. What are some otehr simlar good bands? jsut looking to expand my ska-rizons... Anyways, I still enjoy the Q. Love it. - Sun, 14 Dec 2003 7:46pm | ||
Ty Stranglehold User Info... | The only thing worse than the local radio stations are the idiots that run them. - Sun, 14 Dec 2003 11:45pm | ||
salt User Info... | radio I listen to: CFUV, CBC - Mon, 15 Dec 2003 6:26pm | ||
Stefan User Info... | Honestly, i dont see whats wrong with 91.3. I mean hey, they might not always play the best music.. ok maybe not even that close to always, but i like how they are so activly promoting the local music scene. I dont listen to the radio for more then an hour or 2 each week, so i really cant say too much for which radio station is best etc.. but for the limited listening i do hear, local 91.3 works fine for me. - Tue, 16 Dec 2003 9:46am | ||
