We know what you gonna say
Contemporary radio formats are as stale now as they've ever been. Having been glued to our Ipods for the past 3 years, Rick Falcon and Jim Fath felt compelled to revisit this age old entertainment format for this week's list.
Our plan was simple; we'd listen to nothing but radio for a week and see what we found. On day two Rick contemplated suicide and Jim destroyed his stereo, clock radio, and his Toyota factory cassette stereo. So after only after a days worth of listening we present to y...

great work. Morning radio is compiled of a room full of dorks with microphones. only reason people think the morning dj's are "cool" is because the morning dj's say they are. At home they are pathetic. Who wants to hear 2 to 5 lame ass people babble about current entertainment bullshit while the top 4 pop songs are in constant rotation?

listen to the radio anymore? My mom (yes I still live with my parents, fuck you for judging me) listens to morning talk radio RELIGIOUSLY. She even turns that shit on when she's at home on days off. Personally, I'd rather dangle my balls in a blender than listen to a group of downies discuss "how cute that movei was" for a fucking hour.

Ben FM in Philly is by far the gayest format in existence. Nothing but lame ass soft rock and self promoting commercials between every song with the J. Peterman guy from Seinfeld.
Bob, Frank, Jack - theres one in every city now.
Makes me want to rip my stereo out of the console and toss it on the interstate

Troy - you need some work
Muenster - Always solid
Jizz - how old are you? This is an adult website (sort of) And your mom listens to Janet and Nick in the morning right?, The fucking worst ever. Kill your mom while she's asleep and dump her body in a oil barrel filled with her and cement into the blackrock canal (Yes it's been done before with less than optimum results but i have a feeling it will work for you)
Anger R. - We have Jack in Buffalo, you get the feeling they are promoting themselves because nobody wants to advertise on their shit station, i don't think this format is going to last much longer, anywhere.

Would love the rock station here. Its basically all tool, all the time. Oh yea I forgot to mention they only play the most recent single, and thats only when they can find time between the 45 minutes of commercials. Radio is worthless, get an ipod or a MP3 disc player for your car. You can fit about 15 albums on a single MP3 cd.

Janet Snyder needs to be raped over a pinball machine (a la Jodie Foster) then disemboweled. It's not enough that her family is rediculously wealthy, she then has to rub it in our face by pulling strings to get a well-payed DJ job? She's a parasite to our society.
It's astounding how terrible hip hop radio is. If they aren't shouting in-between songs they interrupt the currently playing song with random shouts of "Yeah!" and terrible mumbling. Then they add a horrific air raid siren to EVERY FUCKING SONG for some reason as well. I keep thinking the fucking Japanese are dive-bombing whenever I hear that shit. Fuck the radio.

Did you just say "well-payed DJ job" that's a paradox. You're showing your age.
And what the fuck job do you have at 18 where you can fuck off on the internet all day? It takes years of schooling and getting shit on by others to attain such a position. You should be doing manual labor you little fuck, now go get a landscaping job.
Sucks. Your car should have a cd player in it loser. That way you don't have to listen to Timberlake and Fergie relate how they could take your man/girl.

$10 an hour to show the geriatrics in the office how to copy and paste in microsoft word. I probably shouldn't be complaining about cushy DJ jobs when I only do about 15 minutes of actual work per day.

Lynne Thigpen as "radio deejay" from The Worriors.
All right now, for all you boppers out there in the big city, all you street people with an ear for the action, I've been asked to relay a request from the Grammercy Riffs. It's a special for the Warriors, that real live bunch from Coney, and I do mean the Warriors. Here's a hit with them in mind.

Let me know where you guys are going out and maybe we can meet up for a beer. My cousin is coming into town that weekend so I may actually get to go out for a night.
Hey Jiz, do me a favor and change you icon to something I wont get fired for having on my screen if a coworker walks up behind me. That would be GREEEEEEEEEEEEAT.

Best radio DJ - Samuel Jackson in Do the Right Thing.
The Mexican stations piss me off because I listen to them all the time (Mexicans roll with the windows down because they don't have air conditioning). Apparently you need to have a giant sub and six 12" speakers to really feel the tuba in that cock-a-mayme bullshit.
I'm sure these people actually dropped the G that this stuff cost to put in their 1987 Caprice worth $700 and did not get it through any kind of illegal means either.

I love the fact that today is the first day I have ever seen the phrase "cock-a-mayme" actually spelled out. Thank you.
Shit Sandy - Why does your list cause me to feel this overwhelming sense of failure? Did you sprinkle magical voodoo powder on your keyboard before you typed it? Weird.

Thanks TMAN, let's meet at the Four Corners for the exchange.
At what point does one cease to look "cool" when rolling with the boomin' system (pardon the dated terminology)? I heard a car coming up behind me at a stop sign the other day and glanced over and there's a guy with heavy male patterned baldness blaring one of the latest "five black guys without a thimble of talent" hip-hop songs. I was thisclose to jumping out of the car with an iron and pummeling the loser.
My temper reaches BigNick levels when I'm driving.
