As far as pop music goes- and i'm talking about the pop music that basically grew out of the southern blues tradition here, the stuff that was transformed into musical recordings in the early 20th century, became "rock and roll" first, and then dance music and later hip hop- that is what "pop music" is to me- i'm pretty genre agnostic.
I don't consider myself a "rap" fan or a "rock" fan. In fact, my opinion of people who limit themselves to one genre of music is, basically, that they are ignorant.
Don't like dance music? fucking try harder. Don't like rap music?
fucking try harder. Can't stand rock and roll? Get over it.
Of course, there is good and bad within each genre, and each has its own relationship with the music industry. And all I have to say about that is that rap music is killing it in the new world order and rock music has lost the plot. Driving back from El Centro last week (During afternoon drive time, no less) I was postively STUCK at how 98.
9 is fucking killing it and the alt rock stations can barely keep up. 98.9 is playing some hot shit, and alt rock sounds like some weepy girl party.
Pop music on the radio should sound awesome on the radio- that's why hard rock stations will always be there. Americans will never, ever get tired of hearing AC/DC and Guns and Roses, not to mention Metallica and Black Sabbath on FM radio.
Now- I happened to hear LCD Soundsystem's "North American Scum" on 94/9 this week, and I know it's an add and that is what the fuck I'm talking about.
Don't just limit the hip hop and the dance to the catalogue portion of your alt rock station. Mix it up- but intelligently. That is what people want.
But I want MORE MORE MORE. I can't get enough of diversity on my modern rock/alt rock radio station, and if I don't get it, I will listen to 98.9 instead.
We don't have a dance station in san diego- they have them in other markets- not good dance stations- but if we had one, I would listen to that too.
Go where the hotness is, that's my advice.
San Diego Union Tribune article on day 2 of the Peregrine Trial:
Hello,
It's jfcd from a little place north of san diego called los angeles.
i am going to be guest posting while scott is hard at work suing 91x for impersonating a quality radio station (i'm allowed to say that i'm a guest). I will keep my posts catdirt-ian (aka sloppy grammar and witty) and you can send hate mail to radioperfik@gmail.com.
I love GOES CUBE (www.myspace.com/goescube), they recently played the beauty bar and you were probably not there!
Here is a first look at their brand spankin new video for "Goes Cube Song 30." And in case you didn't know..
.all their songs are numbered and start with "Goes Cube Song __" Good for a laugh for sure.

PUNISHING!
