Some dirty laundry

Does anyone else listen to ZFM in Vancouver?

I listen to the radio at work. I try to ignore the inane chit-chat of the DJs. I chose the current station for the ignorability of the DJs. But, a day or two ago, the afternoon guy caught my attention:

"I should have known my marriage was in trouble when my wife decided this was her new favourite song."

And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dyin'
*

"That's an interesting way to introduce a song," I say to myself, since there's no one else in my office to say it to, before returning to my fascinating credit card charges.

The DJ returns: "When your wife tells you she wants a divorce because she's fallen in love with your best friend, I'd say it qualifies as a bad day."

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
~

The afternoon guy appears to be taking the rest of the week off.

*"Unfaithful", Rihanna
~"Bad Day", Daniel Powter

This just adds credence to my view that most DJs could easily be replaced by an MP3 player on shuffle play.

I was going to say no, they couldn't because shuffle play isn't really all that good. But then I remembered that the DJ shuffle play isn't really all that good either. So now I agree with you.

And the MP3 probably has a higher IQ than the DJ anyway.

Listening to radio has convinced me that there is such a thing as negative IQs.

And a higher IQ then most of the people who call in to the radio stations too.

That's actually my current plan: my partner has a cheap MP3 player that I can have. I just need to load it up. I just haven't gotten around to that task yet.
