Velvet Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 So, I'd really like to get tickets to The Tragically Hip at Capitol Music Hall in October. The only way to get tix is to win them off the Bear. My office hovel is usually devoid of music which is great, but I moved my clock radio down here and put the Bears number on my speed dial. Now I'm listening to fm rock all day. I'm going more insane. If anybody somehow comes across tix to this show and think the Hip sucks, let me know.

Guest Low Roller Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 So what's FM playing nowadays? I haven't listened to the radio other than the university stations in years. Is it true that Xfm went tits up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Wacky morning dj's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I've been a huge Chez listener since I've moved to Ottawa, but all week at work I've been locked into Magic100! They called me at work and said if I hear my name I could win $1000.00 in cash. Missing the Chez, but gotta do it for the money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 They haven't outlawed that sh!t yet?? Morning DJs should be hustled out into the streets and shot Gestapo style. The world would be a much nicer place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 There's an article in today's Ottawa Sun discussing the candidates for a new station; Xfm is mentioned as being "horribly programmed". Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatpatguy Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 so.. what kind of factory created, payola driven playlist have you been subjected to today? how many songs have you heard more than once so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I keep turning it off when they do the 9 in a row thing, but I air-guitared some sweet moves to Bostons More Than A Feeling. For the record, air guitar is way less fun now than it was before I played guitar. There's too much pressure to get it right. "Somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend" is playing (over and over) right now. Ohhh, right into that song, you know, by that band.

Rob Not Bob Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Sunshine, Sadly, you arrived in Ottawa too late ... the mid-80s was he real golden age of CHEZ, it had such an amazingly diverse range of music on it, I was exposed to all sorts of neat stuff thanks to CHEZ. Sadly, in the early 90s the officially jammed it's format as being "Classic Rock" and got rid of most of the really interesting DJs and it has been a pale shadow of its former glory since then.

hamilton Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Morning DJs should be hustled out into the streets and shot Gestapo style. The world would be a much nicer place. I agree. When the revolution comes, they should be the first against the wall... starting with John Derringer from Q107. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Derringer kills me! He's not meant to be taken seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
