the radio experiment!

- slow choral music, old-sounding, possibly Christian (song ended after 10 secongs, not ID'd by radio person)
- sprightly classical piano
- male-sung lite-rock, vaguely gospel-ish, probably Christian (hook: "I'm gonna show you love/I'm gonna give you what you never had before")
- more male Christian lite-rock, slower than the previous one, hook = "I wanna be like you"
- Toby Keith, "I Love This Bar"
- anthemic lite-rock schlock, "I finally found a reason for living/the reason is you"
- Murphy Lee feat Nelly & JD, "Wat Da Hook Gon Be"
- proggish nu-metal, surprisingly tolerable (ended after 30 seconds, band ID'd as A Perfect Circle by announcer)
- Helmet, "Unsung"
- upbeat male country, fairly catchy, ended after 30 seconds, ID'd as "Wild West Show" by Big & Rich
- Three Dog Night, "Mama Told Me Not To Come"
- 5th Dimension, "Last Night I Didn't Get To Sleep At All"
- Tom Petty, "Runnin' Down A Dream"

1. some french guy singing - kind of like tony bennett
2. gamelan? sounds like something from 'radio java' which i'm obsessed with at the moment
3. somebody talking about huskies
4. cliff richard - don't recognise the song
5. new d12 single
6. classical
7. coldplay - clocks
8. kelis - milkshake

- Country and (especially) R&B short-changed, due to talk & commercials.

- Good God, do we need that many Christian stations???

- best song: the Toby Keith one (runners-up 5th Dimension and A Perfect Circle)
worst: the "I finally found a reason for living" one

- Half of that stuff would be enough to unite ILM's popsters and indie fuxxx and techno people against a common enemy.

i might do this tomorrow when i'm less tired. i do actually often do it anyway!
