For the Tenth Time Today...

Some people have a radio station--I don't mean they have one, I mean they have ONE that they listen to day in, day out. I have three. This is several steps up from the radio channel surfing I used to do between the 24 pre-sets on my radio. I listen to 102.1 (The Edge) out of Toronto, FM 96, out of London, and 97.7 (Hitz FM) out of St Catharines. Now, they DO play some different music, but for the most part, their playlists mirror each other quite nicely, which is not always a good thing. As a result of their similar formats, there are several (extremely over-played) songs that I am beyond tired of. Why does a song have to go into such HEAVY rotation if a station even gets a hint that people like it? What happened to the good old days of waiting around to hear the latest song by your favourite band (with your fingers hovering over the record button so you could tape it!!)? Here are the ten songs I never want to hear again
(there have been others, and there will be more, but just these at the moment):

1. Talk--Coldplay (I haven't actually heard it much lately, but I don't really like Coldplay, and this particular track makes me want to stick sharp things in my ears)

2. Lips Of An Angel--Hinder (I liked it the first few times I heard it, but after several hundred, I'm completely over it)

3. Hate Me--Blue October (it sounds like an order, and I don't like taking orders, but after hearing it so many times, yes, I will hate him--if only to shut him up)

4. Pain--Three Days Grace (this song causes me some minor pain--maybe just a small ache, but it's enough to send me to another station)

5. It's A Long Way To the Top if You Wanna Rock and Roll--AC/DC (I swear on my favourite guitar's life that this song is playing on FM 96 as I type this right now, and it freaks me out!! I don't care HOW cool AC/DC is, the words 'bagpipes' and 'solo' should never be used together)

6. Sunday Morning--K-OS (I just don't like it--it gets on my nerves after the third time they play it in one day)

7. Anything by Sam Roberts (there is something about him that makes me dislike him greatly, and therefore makes it impossible for me to enjoy any song he sings--maybe it has something to do with the fact that he can't sing)

8. Comin' Home--City & Colour (first of all, it's the band name--the guy's name is Dallas [a city] Green [a colour], and that's just to cutesy for me; then there's the song itself, in which he mentions places like Halifax and Nova Scotia, which only makes you sound like a dork, unless you're Great Big Sea; besides which, Halifax is IN Nova Scotia, and he only separated them to fit into a rhyme, and I've spent more time on this song than I meant to)

9. Anna Molly--Incubus (I don't like the song, and it's played every five minutes; in the song, he sings anomaly [def. something unusual] but it is called Anna Molly, this bugged me from the moment the song came out, but now, the DJ's have a little debate with themselves about the correct pronounciation of the title before or after they play it!)

10. Snow (Hey Oh)--Red Hot Chili Peppers (I actually like this song, and don't mind it being played so much [yet], but what annoys me is the way the DJ's try to make the 'Hey Oh' part of the title sound cool--it's NOT cool, and nothing you do will make it sound that way!)

Okay, so that's it. I won't even get started on how the DJ's keep pushing Mac computers, because it irritates me beyond belief, and I'm about ready to turn the radio off for good if they don't stop. Yes, you have a Mac. Yes, you prpbably got it for free. Yes, you have to mention it a certain amount of times a day (as per the 'free' arrangement). Yes, your Mac is better than my computer. I DON'T CARE!!

NOW that's it. I feel better.
