16track Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hahah! I still listen to RJ but only on certain times now as they do play on occasion a gem or two. For example, they play non-stop Beatles every day from 5-6 every morning. Good time to listen in when I bring the kids to school or when I'm driving to the golf course. It's when these former AM DJs take control of the board that things start getting cheeky. I mean... so many useless and senseless greetings on air... "Hi to Tita Elsie from Jinny!"... Good morning to Wanda, Joy, Thelma and Cynthia from your friends from Cubao!... Hello Jobert, this is from Wilma!".... sigh... Why they do this I may never quite understand...The next thing I know, my hands automatically change the station. Where have you gone, Joe Di Maggio? S@#t!!! HillBilly Willy sa RJ? Talk about total loss of credibility!! :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Like you, I would be changing the station too. :thumbsdownsmiley: Bakyang-bakya na. Why can't these stations do their part in uplifting our culture? I agree with what starbuck911 said in a previous posting na a majority of our countrymen's taste in music is so focused on the current top hits, the current bands, the current fads, etc. I loath it whenever I hear people say "baduy" or "laos na iyan" whenever they hear some old song being played on the radio. I try to ignore them pero nakakainis na minsan because they prefer to wallow in ignorance rather than expand their horizons. Oh well.... Quote Link to comment

How 'bout that Chico and Delemar? Those two are supposed to be the hottest morning crew on the air? Mwahahaha! Who said so? Baka si Baby Gil nanaman (the anti-christ of cool). Perhaps if Delemar can say penis on the air, I may give them a listen. If they can tell their celebrity guests, "I don't care about your latest cd or movie. I want to know who your bangin'!", maybe I'll reconsider. If Chico would ask Delemar (a self-confessed virgin daw) what she does to pleasure herself in the meantime, Baby Gil would be right for once. Hi Delemar!...(if you're reading this)..... :hypocritesmiley: Quote Link to comment

One only needs to check out the music section in this forum to agree with you, bro. Some of the younger set are really products of the media culture that has engulfed them. They need to label everything and put them in a box. "What's the greatest so-and-so?"...."Who's the best this-and-that?" Sometimes you just wanna grab their ipods and place it in the center of EDSA.

Just like you, the "more talk less music" format doesn't work for me either. I mean, do I care if some pathetic guy wants to let the whole world know that he's in love with this girl from Cubao or wherever? And what the DJ ate the night before? I just don't have the patience to put up with 15 minutes of crap talk for every 3 minutes of music. So, in my case, I've just completely given up on playing the radio in my car. When the tuner got broken, I never even bothered to get it fixed. As long as the cd player is working, I just burn my own cds and listen only to the songs I want to hear depending on the time of day, my mood, and the traffic situation. Back then, we bought an album and avidly listened to it's entirety. It was not rare to discuss an album on a track per track context. That is why when asked about a certain artist, we tend to think in terms of album titles aside from singles. Any body care to spell out the Led Zep albums? These days, I think that CDs are purchased more on the strength of a hot hit single. The singles are copied and then burned in a CD complation of hits. Nothing wrong with that though, just stating my opinion on the differences. Personal opinion lng. Yeh I know what you mean. For example, I can listen to Lep Zep 4 etc. non-stop and like every song in the album. And even know intimately how one song ends and the next song begins. A case in point is EWF (since I'm also into funk). The song Reasons just isn't the same without Shining Star preceding it. For a time, I was suspecting that I'm merely being OC (obsessive-compulsive) but later on, I got to know more people who can play in their minds how each album transitions from one song to the next. Maybe you're also one of them Pareng 16track? Quote Link to comment
Magaling Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Those who are still unaware of the thousands of internet radio stations (am/fm, internet-only) from around the world available to each and every one of us are missing a whole lot! It's one of the best things about the net. It can't be fully appreciated on dial-up, which is why it's doomed to be a thing of the past. The advertising dollars being spent on internet media nowadays prove me right. Nothwithstanding all my earlier rantings about the state of some local radio stations, when I used to live overseas a few years back, I would actually listen to Manila FM stations particularly 105.1 via the internet. Of course there would be other stations too that I'd tune into via the web but mostly, it's the webcast of 105.1 that I would listen to at home or in the office. And for several good reasons including: 1. I miss the sounds of Manila (as opposed to...see next reason)2. The whole concept of crossover is lost in the country where I lived. There, local stations routinely play Elvis one moment, then either Britney or Ricky Martin followed by the theme from Lion King. :evil: "All Songs in the English Language" lumped into one general category seems to be their idea of being hip! :grr: And OK so we don't deviate too far away from the thread topic, here's one more: 3. It's good to hear the 70s songs I grew up with although admittedly on the tamer, mellower side but without going overboard (read Abba, Air Supply etc) (With all due apologies to the fans of these groups I just mentioned...)

16track Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) heheh! Guilty bro! I know what you meant with LedZep4 as I feel the same way with LedZepII as well. I mean.. how can you think of "Heartbreaker" without expecting the intro to " Livin Lovin Maid" to kick in a mere 4 beats after Heartbreaker ends??? Or when you expect Ringo Starr to sing the opening lines of "With A Little Help From My Friends" immediately right after the "billy shears' portion of "Sgt. Peppers", right? Just like you, the "more talk less music" format doesn't work for me either.

16track Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) To Dirty Harry Fans: (1971 Rlease) Remember this speech? "I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?"

starbuck911 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 From Magnum Force..... Police Chief: "Callahan, I'm giving you a 60-day suspension!"Clint (with his squint): "Make it 90!" From The Stone Killer (I think)..... Charles Bronson (pointing a gun): Do you believe in God?(The bad guy nods his head nervously)Bronson: Good, cuz you're about to meet him! BLAM!

I mean, do I care if some pathetic guy wants to let the whole world know that he's in love with this girl from Cubao or wherever? I don't mind talk radio, but if the jocks are going to entertain someone like me, I want the conversation to be just like the way we talk to our own friends. We are so limited in this area because people get so sensitive here (sorry to say). People can't say what they feel about certain personalities (even when they deserve a good-ol' thrashing) because they might be served a subpoena for libel. They can't talk about sex because they're gonna get non-stop phone calls from the religious right (ugh!). They can't even make fun of sports personalities. If you get in to something like "Who are the ugliest PBA players today? Let's take your phone calls!", may mapipikon diyan, for sure. If I can use your example in order to make the show more entertaining: I'd ask the pathetic guy what he likes about this girl from Cubao. "Nagagandahan ka ba sa boobs niya?" "Is she a B cup? C cup?" "What's her skin like? Fair? Light? Dark?" "Maingay ba siya sa kama?"...and stuff like that. See...to my mind, I don't think I'm being bastos. I'm merely asking him to give us a picture of this woman. Since radio is "theatre of the mind", I'm simply getting the guy to paint us a mental picture of this woman even if she looks like Menggay in real life. In other words, I've got the listeners' attention just by being so interested in her! I'm certain my ratings would go up, and it would certainly please the advertisers. Too bad it doesn't work that way here. A comedy show is all for fun and not to be taken too seriously, but we can't seem to understand that. Therefore, our talk shows are flat, unfunny, and a bit "Imeldific". So back to the music... Chico: So Delemar, what do you do to pleasure yourself while waiting for the right guy? Wait...I've got an idea....give me your hand! I want to smell your fingers right now......(Man, if only they would be unafraid to push the envelope) Quote Link to comment
starbuck911 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 So I take it you're not a big fan of Walker, Texas Ranger??? That makes two of us... Actually, I do enjoy watching bits of it when it's shown on Late Night with Conan. You can see how popular this segment is on Conan's show. Without saying a single word, the clips from Walker, TR speak for themselves.....and that's why we laugh. Quote Link to comment
Magaling Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I don't mind talk radio, but if the jocks are going to entertain someone like me, I want the conversation to be just like the way we talk to our own friends. Oh I was referring to those jocks reading so-called love notes and greetings or where callers are allowed to go on the air and say their greetings themselves complete with background feedback coming from the loud radio just because the caller obviously wants to know how he/she sounds on the radio. That doesn't work for me. I agree with you. If I am made to listen to that at all, at least make it interesting. Give me a reason why I should care why this Pedro loves that Inday. What is she like? Does he really think greeting her on the air will get him anywhere with this girl? Hey, I'm all for spicing it up a bit! And instead of guys like Chico telling me ho-hum stuff like what he ate for breakfast, let him talk about how he got laid the night before, if at all. Again, at the risk of being OT, let me find a way to end this post with something 70s related.... Damian Sotto comes to mind. :evil: Even the Tulfo brothers would pale in comparison.... Not the stuff you'd allow your kids to hear, of course. Quote Link to comment

Damian Sotto comes to mind. :evil: Even the Tulfo brothers would pale in comparison.... Not the stuff you'd allow your kids to hear, of course. Ok....back to the 70's. Perhaps you guys can refresh my memory here. During the mid-70's, at the height of martial law and censorship, there used to be a number of cassette copies circulating around town that contained a number of professionally-produced skits na "puro kabastusan". It featured a number of celebs during the time, and all I could remember among the performers were Elizabeth Ramsey and Ariel Ureta (because his segments were out-of-place and trying-hard unfunny). The "notorius" tape was a breath of fresh air for many of us during such as repressive time. I still remember one skit in particular where a woman was offended by her BF's remark that she had a loose p*ssy. The rest of the skit went something like this: Female: Sige, ipasok mo ang kaliwang kamay mo!Male: Huh?F: Ipasok mo!M: (grunting) O yan, pasok na!F: Ngayon, ipasok mo yung kabilang kamay mo.M: Huh?F: (yelling) Ipasok mo!M: (grunting again) O yan, nasa loob na yung dalawang kamay ko!F: O ngayon, pumalakpak ka.M: (perplexed) Ano?F: (yelling) Pumalakpak ka!M: (grunts again) 'Di ko kaya!F: O, kita mo na? Pagkatapos, sasabihin mo sa 'kin na maluag ang p*ki ko! Classic stuff.....If the tape now rings a bell (and it should!), who were the other performers on this tape? Anyone knows the story behind this tape? Edited August 10, 2006 by starbuck911 Quote Link to comment
