O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00	Everybody's sick of hearing the SAME songs over and over again. So, who should be getting air time that's not? What bands are really popular on the college circuit and clubs, but isn't on the radio? To be adopted by me, e-mail me at robert_rhoffm@yahoo.com IM only possible at night. Need to e-mail me first.

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01	the problem is this. Minutes in a day: 1440 Minus commercial and talk time:750 Average song length: 3 Songs played per day: 250 No niche radio station has 250 editted songs to choose from. And if they did, you'd still here every song once a day. No matter what, after hearing a song a certain amount of times, you get sick of it. PLUS: If you bring in new bands, the general opinion of them changes. For instance: Limp Bizkit. When they started getting air, people thought they were cool. Now you hear about them & their music EVERY DAMN DAY & you get sick of them. Now they're just another flavor of the month/year... E-F-F-E-C-T! A smooth operator operating correctly...

O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00	Too much Our Lady Peace lately, IMO that singer's voice is like scratching nails on a chalk board... More Queens of the Stone Age on radio, one of the most brilliant, original albums last year :) My adopted troubled children are Atomic Punk & Weinie....all problems with either of them should be addressed to me spitfire@opieanthony.com

Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01	I think he has a unique voice. Its not for everyone but at least its something different. They just released a new album and i'm looking forward to hearing it on the radio. The last one hardly got any airplay. I don't even listen to the radio for music anymore. When you have a napster collection pushing 2000+ songs you can pretty much put 200 on 10 CD's and listen to just about anything you could ever want to on a MP3 ready CD player. I listen to the Radio for Stern in the morning, R&F middays, and O&A in the afternoon. ________________

O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00	I saw Our Lady Peace back in 1995 when they played at Q104.3's "Pre-Fire Works in the Park" at Bryant Park. Only one good song (Starseed). Also played with one-hit-wonder Paw. But really, where is the next unsigned band that will "change the face of music" or at least radio?

O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00	Arthur, you just have to look for it (not on radio) I have absolutely no problem finding new good music. I have a bad feeling that "stoner/psychadelic/doom rock" is the next big thing again...unfortunately, it's one of the main types of music I listen to and I don't want it to be popular. But there are A LOT of bands, esp. in NJ (Slowing/Solace/Shuvelhead) that are playing this music... and a new Sabbath & Monster Magnet will bring it to the front My adopted troubled children are Atomic Punk & Weinie....all problems with either of them should be addressed to me spitfire@opieanthony.com This message was edited by spitfire421 on 3-20-01 @ 4:01 PM

Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01	Listen to "Happiness is not a fish that you can catch" I think its their best album. You'd only like starseed if you listened to what the RADIO plays you. Fuck RADIO, these days you need to find the music you like on your own. ________________

O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00	I know a couple of good local bands. Stretcher (Alright, I know the lead singer) Kill By Inches Found out about Disturbed a month before they hit it big. I think they're the best new hard rock band out their. Kittie's great too. So, what website, indie shop, whatever are you looking at to find the good stuff?

O&A Board Veteran Registered: Aug. 00	There aren't enough real metal stations...WSOU is the best you can get, and it's a college station. Don't get me wrong, they are a great station, but I'd like to have a station that gives me heavy fucking music 24 7 Is that Magus in the bushes with Raven again?

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01	I'm with you Corpse. Even SOU gets annoying sometimes. K Rock and the old Q104.3 were godsent when I was in highschool, but so was MTV in the 80s.... Everything gets played out. As for a site, try www.kittie.net (not spamming!) They give you links to other places like antimtv.com & so forth... E-F-F-E-C-T! A smooth operator operating correctly...

Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 01	corpsegrinderjunk is completely right about wsou... when i'm not listening to o and a or listening to a cd those guys on 89.5 are the best that is out there. the only bad thing about them is that the sports radio sometimes cuts them off in the middle of nowhere, like your listening to "walk" by pantera and the next thing you here is princeton sports scores :)

Giraffe Raper	posted on 03-20-2001 @ 4:20 PM
Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01	the most overplayed band on the radio is 3 doors down, they're pop enough to be on z100 but rock enough to be on k-rock so they get played out twice as fast as for bands who dont get enough exposoure are kottonmouth kings, insane clown posse, twiztid, system of a down, and basically every punk band except blink 182 "i hate every motherfucking body that i see, but i spread it all evenly"

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01	Here's something really fucked up! I first heard butterfly by Crazytown (I think?) on SOU and the other day my fiance was singing it. I asked her where she heard it & she said it was the latest song on Z100!?!?!? How the fuck does that happen!?!? E-F-F-E-C-T! A smooth operator operating correctly...

Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01	How does it happen? If a song is catchy, it will crossover onto pop stations. ________________
Giraffe Raper	posted on 03-20-2001 @ 4:29 PM
Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01	yeah that crazy town stuff is bull shit, except for butterfly the rest of the album is rock(rock/rap). all i know is thati just cant wait for all the 11 year old girls to go out and buy the crazy town album and listen to the song "only when i'm drunk" "i hate every motherfucking body that i see, but i spread it all evenly"

Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00	Theirs one band that has truley overcome the boundries. U2. U2 is a band thas get played on so many stations. But u2 has been played by people like vicne scelsa, that see u2 as a deep band thats fits in with thier "ecceltic obscure music". But u2 is also on z100!!! Z100!!!!!! a corprate top 40 holier than thou "we play whats cool only" station. The complete polar oppsoite. U2 also gets played on ccbbsssffmmmm by old tired djs, in a lost world of old fogotten music. But their cool enoguh to be a fav band of someone like opie and anthony who hate cbs. Thier on krock casue their a alterative band that caters to the young dmeo, but also is played on lite fm, where soccer moms listen and gets pumped though buniessnes as background music (stuff you hear in supermakets). Thier on WPLJ, which your older sister listens, but also on classic rock that plays the moldy classics for your middle aged parents. I also belive KTU plays u2, witch is a dance station. U2 is over here now. (and here, and here,and here)

Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00	Spitfire, You like a little bit of sludge? I like a lot of those bands. Do you ever go to the Brighton Bar to see the Atomic Bitchwax? Do you like the Melvins? They are playing in NY and in Philadelphia at the end of April. I know what you're saying about that genre becoming more popular. Hopefully it won't. If it does, people will lose interest pretty quickly b/c a lot of it is too slow for people and too tuned down. That kind of music has been around for years and hasn't ever caught on too much. Don't get me wrong, I like to see the bands get paid what they deserve, but the fans can be so incredibly LAME. Josh
