I've officially stopped listening to Z103.5. It's utter trash. Garbage. Rubbish. I can't stand it for more than 30 seconds. The annoying ads aimed at High School kids, the annoying crap that passes for top 40 music these days, the annoying hosts, it's just too much. With the exception of DJ Danny D's daily streetmixes, this radio station has officially lost it's appeal to me. More often than not, I have 104.5 Chum FM or Smooth Jazz 94.7 on when I feel like browsing the radio. (It's quite rare these days considering I've been putting iPod through heavy use) Also, there is another debate that has a winner. Kanye West's Late Registration is definitely the album of the year eclipsing Coldplay's X&Y. Despite having one of my favourite songs off all time on it ('X&Y', the single) Coldplay's latest effort is a 4 song album at best. After 'Square One', 'Speed Of Sound', and 'Talk', there's not a whole lot there. Late Registration however is atleast 8 songs deep. My favourites (other than the singles 'Diamonds Are Forever' & 'Gold Digger') are probably the hidden track 'Late', 'Roses', 'Drive Slow', and 'Touch The Sky'. If you're planning to legally purchase any of the above two and can only afford one, cop the Kanye, it's better bang for the buck.

Niagra easy rock 105.7, it's where your dial should be.

they also feature the 'john tesh radio show' which comes packed with all sorts of random and useful information.

one day he told the masses that humour makes men more appealing, then he went on to enlighten us as to what sort of humour is appealing and which isn't.

i'm obviously preserving my edge in the field and keeping the details a secret.

amazing! but ya, im quite aware of the John Tesh radio show, I'm a frequent listener. Here in hamilton, we get it on 102.9 K-Lite FM which I suspect to be a similiar type of station to the Easy Rock, but i'll double check today if I Can pick it up out here.

btw, John Tesh is the man, he told me how to hassle the guy who tries to force fixed mortgage rates on me. I shall never be fixed again.

Alright, I'll cut a deal with you. I'll share wisdom of appealing humour, and you arm me with knowledge of repelling the mortage manager at the bank - with their hustler like tendencies.

Btw, I feel that John Tesh belongs in the same league as such men as Pavel Tsatsouline.

On X & Y, I also like A message, and Swallowed in the sea, and for West's album, heard 'em say and Goldigger are nice.

But for the summer, my favourite picks were X & Y, Jack Johnson's "In between dreams" (If you like acoustic guitar songs, you'll love this one), and Dave Matthew's Band's "American Baby".

Z103.5 used to be good for all the house/euro stuff they played. But now, there's too much mainstream hip hip / pop music on there. I switch between edge 102.1 and mix 99.9. But yeah, that's also becoming less frequent now that i've got my zen micro.

A message starts off wonderfully but then it goes straight to hell by the time it finishes. theres something about that track that just doesn't sit well with me.

legally purchase? as opposed to illegally purchasing? they're cd's, not drugs.
TR-909 said…
correction, i've sold music before for a handsome, illegal profit. now that's a good feeling.

i saw, it was mildly funny. The movie better be better. but i do appreciate the love shown by sending lonely ol mudasser an email from the elites of our society.

nobody beats death cab for a cutie. kanye west sucks and so does coldplay.

i'm serious. i hate rap/hip hop. The only good rap out there is immortal technique, sage francis, talib kwali, mos def, etc.
