and you could choose 5 songs ranging from 2000-present what would they be?

i feel like new music had been ignored on the radio and am curious to hear what others might have to say

Here's A Quarter, Call Someone Who Cares

2/16/2010 11:58:50 PM

2/16/2010 11:59:34 PM

2/17/2010 12:00:39 AM

there is a student radio station that allows you to do just that!

OH BOY!

2/17/2010 12:01:40 AM

i really would like to hear what other people think. i am perhaps in a position where i might be able to make some changes in radio

[Edited on February 17, 2010 at 12:03 AM. Reason : ive been working in/on the radio for 5 years now. im not talking about college radio either]

2/17/2010 12:02:10 AM

of shit that actually gets played on the radio?

Chevelle - Jars

2/17/2010 12:03:38 AM

People still listen to the radio? I stopped listening years ago. Except for 88.1 and NPR

2/17/2010 12:03:56 AM

then stop the radio tax

and mandate at least 25% of play time be devoted to local/regional talent


and play more fucking metal

2/17/2010 12:04:02 AM

2/17/2010 12:04:18 AM

this is the problem i dont think there is any outlet for new music. the triangle has a high music iq but the radio stations ignore it. i dont listen to the radio ever yet have made a career out of it.

2/17/2010 12:07:11 AM

Miley Cyrus songs 24/7!

2/17/2010 12:07:15 AM

no i just want to get an idea of what everyone is listening to. styles, genres, general stuff. what new music is being ignored by the "mainstream" that maybe more people should be exposed to. casual music fans maybe havent heard.

2/17/2010 12:11:35 AM

of course it depends on the genre, but for shits and giggles I'll go with:

Radiohead- Idioteque
The Strokes- Take It Or Leave It
Arcade Fire- Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
MGMT- Time To Pretend
Animal Collective- My Girls

2/17/2010 12:13:09 AM

just listen to wknc

2/17/2010 12:14:00 AM

(I was mainly going with accessibility)

2/17/2010 12:15:44 AM

wasnt responding to you

but

that does sound like a wknc playlist. lolz

2/17/2010 12:17:23 AM

oh with that being said they play MGMT on 101.9 the "alternative" station in nyc.

2/17/2010 12:18:13 AM

yeah I realized that after your post

2/17/2010 12:18:29 AM

i personally think tune-yards is catchy as shit. "lions" or "fiya" being the catchiest.

girl's a weirdo though:

i guess i should have posted this in entertainment for it to be taken more seriously

2/17/2010 1:16:14 AM

would you play a hero a fake on your radio station pls?

2/17/2010 1:16:53 AM

^i cant even tell if you are serious. honestly im not here to debate music tastes and what not, i just wanted to know what music you would want to share with the world if you had the oppurtunity.

2/17/2010 1:28:02 AM

you not a fan of them?

2/17/2010 1:29:52 AM

I like Dragonforce.

2/17/2010 1:31:13 AM

AHAF >>>>>>>>>>>> Dragonforce homies

2/17/2010 1:44:39 AM

I would share anything from my Top 10 lists on http://www.darktronica.com.

2/17/2010 1:51:05 AM

I listen to sappy music like Ingrid Michaelson, Feist, and The Decemberists

2/17/2010 4:24:10 AM

1. Dylan
2. Dylan
3. Dylan
4. Dylan
5. Dylan

2/17/2010 5:02:31 AM

the decemberists are fucking terrible

and 2000-present is such a weird range, so i'm ignoring it

if i ran a radio station and all we played was five song sets

1. girls - "lust for life"
2. andrew bird - "heretics"
3. the beach boys - "i was made to love her"
4. pavement - "date w/ ikea"
5. deerhunter - "saved by old times"

and then a commercial break, because i'd need money, and then

1. blur - "coffee & tv"
2. bob dylan - "highway 61 revisited"
3. camera obscura - "lloyd, i'm ready to be heartbroken"
4. delta spirit - "trashcan"
5. magnetic fields - "why i cry"

2/17/2010 5:58:49 AM

^ Yeah, even I'll admit their songs are pretty shit but for some reason I still like listening to them

I also like Iron Horse lol.

2/17/2010 7:43:56 AM

^^A+ would listen to your radio station again.



I would take the 6-10am block from XMs the Loft and mix it with Sirius XMU. pretty much what i do everyday
