Music is something that is everywhere. Live, phones, radio, almost all media except print has it. No one can go to the gym without their music and if they forget…well the gym plays its own! Although sometimes…who chooses that stuff…sheesh, disco, really?!
Gowing-up there was always music playing in my house. I remember the moment I realized as a teenager that perhaps the reason I was depressed all the time was because I was listening to love songs without a boyfriend! I quickly switched to rock and roll…much happier.
And something we all don’t realize is the viscous cycle that is the radio. That’s where the new music is played…it’s where we hear new bands and new songs from our favorites. Yet to support our favorites we go out and buy their CDs and play them. And then we’re not listening to the radio anymore. So before we know it we’re only listening to the albums we own and maybe just a little of the radio until a commercial comes on and POW in goes our CD. And it’s amazing how decades can pass you by like that.
But sometimes a life change is reflected in your choice of music. Well it sure is for me. A couple of years ago I was a firm lover of Jack FM radio (here its 93.1) I loved their “screw you” attitude and they played all my old favorite songs.
Then one day I hit on another station, an independent station. I liked some of their songs but fate intervened and BAM they were gone…replaced by a Spanish station. So I searched around because my drive to work is about 5 minutes and I never get around to actually using my CDs. And I hit on Star987 which almost immediately changed its format. They fired their morning crew and played A LOT less mushy song and more contemporary rock. And I was hooked.
That music on that station is resonating with me on a level I can only explain on another blog! I really don’t enjoy going to a bar and listen to the 80’s and sometimes not even the 90’s music they play ANYMORE. I want to hear something produced in the last five years!
So you want to know what’s floating my skirt right now…go to www.star987.com and see. Oh and you should become a Rockaholic. You can find me there! Yes, my picture is someone in their Photos page because I won tickets to see Carolina Liar in the Penthouse! The coolest! I’ll have to blog about that experience later.
