    ^Heh. Accurate.

    If there's one thing I've learned from WFNX, it's that just because a station is "alternative" and not Top 40 or whatever, and just because in theory they have a huge catalogue to draw from, doesn't mean they will. They play the same group of songs every day, yes, but sometimes it seems more like every hour or two hours.

    Part of what's happening is that they're trying to hype up a certain show happening soon by playing the big current songs by the bands involved.

    Speaking of Foster the People, on WFNX you hear Helena Beat as much as the topic of this thread. By now I've gotten to like it, but I know I'll probably get tired of it...

    And then again, WAAF, the station that basically gave the world Godsmack back in the 90's, plays Pumped Up Kicks regularly too. So yeah...

    I hear that song was about a school shooting.

    THINK OF THE CHILDREN, DAMN IT.

    I like cs188's take on it:

    "All the other kids with the f*****-up d****..."

    I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    I feel kind of glad I have no idea what song you guys are on about.

    This is why I'm glad I don't listen to radio anymore...

    I do too, but any song can be made annoying as shit by radio overplay.

    @RocketDude: I have no idea who cs188 is, but my strange mind thought indeed that it would be funny to change the words to "fucked up shit", which isn't even supposed to mean anything...

    Also, to be pedantic, people have noticed more similarities to a certain shooting at a mall than any real school shooting. But the band denies this, and also that shooter IRL didn't wind up shooting a bunch of "other kids". So whatever...

    And yes, overplaying can ruin anything. Here I thought I could avoid Muse overexposure by not listening to my own copy of The Resistance too often...and then I come to realize that WFNX regularly plays "Uprising" and a slightly shortened version of "Resistance". So now I jump off to a different frequency when those come on. That's great stuff, and playing it every day can totally ruin it.

    Speaking of overplayed by WFNX, I've gone from never having heard of Young the Giant to basically having memorized "Cough Syrup". It's starting to get a bit old...

    especially Led Zeppelin.

    Shit, just look at all of the backlash against "Stairway To Heaven" if you want proof...

    Good point - Radio stations only play what's popular, because privately funded media does that.
