I'm soon to be a DJ at my college. However, it's from 4-6 on Thursday mornings, and I only have a limited selection of music, since college radio is hell bent on doing underrecognized talent. However, at the end of every hour, I get to play ONE song of my choice! Death metal for breakfast, anyone?

<----Also a radio DJ at school, although I have 24 hours control. People come by and play their hits for hours at a time, but I do all the radio editing (which takes 25-30 minutes a song).

 

CHOICES: NONE OF THE DEATH METAL or HEAVY PUNK. I have to tone down my tastes for the "pop/rap tunnel-vision" stuff.

 

So I'm left with a LOT of

Rap

Nelly

Eminem

Ja-Rule

Ludacris

Run DMC

Fabolous

Outkast (my FAVE....)

Busta Rhymes

Xzibit

 

Pop:

Shakira

Michelle Branch

Avril Lavigne

Usher

SUM 41 (just the pop-ish stuff of theirs)

 

 

Rock:

Puddle of Mudd

Chili Peppers

Disturbed

Metallica

P.O.D

 

 

Etc.

Limp Bizkit

Linkin Park

Creed

 

BTW, 10 of the 24 hours is dedicated to local hits...

I wanted to be a DJ for the college radio here but I missed the meeting for it. Its probably a good thing too, since I'd mostly play that "hippie shit"

heh, my school's station was cool. The dude that ran the radio stuff was a total drunk that was going senile, and didn't even listen to the station. Every Wednesday at 8PM, it was Rip your Face Off Radio. I just brought CD's in and played them, giving the weather in between Cannibal Corpse, Mayhem, and old White Zombie. (My cd collection was rather limited at that point.) I think my metal collection consisted of Mayhem, CC, Slayer, Megadeth, Pantera, and a couple Iron Maiden tapes.

Play some fucking Wilco, man! I'm dying to hear them on the radio. They've become my new "if only more people could hear this, they'd be HUGE" band. I'd like to see "I am trying to break your heart"--the movie, not the song--develop a sort of "Rocky Horror Picture Show"-esque cult following.

 

Oh, and there's this: "Hot In Herre" is the best goddamn single released this summer and anyone should feel honored to have the privilege of playing it.

Wilco...got that.

Just today I got assigned a two hour shift at my college radio station: 1-3 PM on Saturday afternoons, to play... whatever, really. I don't know how large our selection is, but I've never heard the same song twice, so...

 

Yea.

Die.

 

And if someone requests Pantera, I will give a disclaimer before the song saying "This song was requested, and does not in any way represent the musical tastes of the employees here at 88.1 the Edge. As a matter of fact, we think it sucks. Here's Pantera, with Cemetary Gates!"

You guys had radio stations. The only time they played music at my school was crappy pop music.

I love Pantera.

 

And if someone requests Pantera, I will give a disclaimer before the song saying "I absolutely love Pantera. God, I'd love to have all their babies. As a matter of fact, I think I will. Here's Pantera, with Cemetary Gates!"

Chris, I never thought I'd see you speak those words.

 

It's good to see you've finally owned up to your destiny.

You MUST play Shadows Fall. MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST play Shadows Fall. Did I mention you should play Shadows Fall? I didn't think I did, but just so you get it clear:

PLAY SHADOWS FALL OR GET RAPED BY ODERUS URUNGUS

I was flipping through Metal Edge while picking some stuff up at the record store, and stumbled across a Murderdolls interview, wherein ME asked one of the guys (Tripp, I think) the following question:

 

ME: So, you guys got together. It's pretty convenient that you all had the same hair color, huh?

 

Tripp: No, dude! My hair's actually blonde--we dyed it to look the same!

Brain...cells...melting...
