cincinnadio

This is my response to a recent blog posted by Sara at www.saraknowsbest.com
Why are you still reading this? You should be at www.saraknowsbest.com you dumbass!

Ok. This is an exact copy of the comment I left there, so you may have already read it. Talk about effortless blog reading. I made it easy for you this time. ok, so give me more Cincinnati radio insight if you have it.

If you ever worked somewhere where all they did was play the same radio station all day, you'd really hate the wiz. and all other radio stations for that matter, other than NPR. And doesn't the new Mojo play Soul now? Isn't that pretty rad? I've only heard it for a few minutes but the first song was pretty jammin.

so here's my new formula for Cincinnat radio satisfaction:
Toggle between the new mojo for the occasional danceable soul song, 97.3 for some blind melon and candelbox (maybe you prefer depeche mode and the cure?). Hit up the wiz when you must, but don't forget about the 88's. 88.3 and 88.7 or whatever. WAIF and whatever the other one is play some interesting stuff sometimes. Also, and bear with me on this one, Q102. They've been playing some decent 90's hits these days. A couple weeks ago there was at least 4 songs in a row that I could bear, even 'jam' to. They included Baby Got Back by Sir Mix a lot and I Saw the Sign by Ace of Base. Not songs I'd usually listen to, but given the condition of Cincinnati radio, you have to give Q102 credit for deviating a little...or maybe it's just that they haven't changed their playlists in 10-15 years, so they're coming back into style a little bit.And it doesn't hurt to listen to NPR when you have time, to find programs that you like. Then you can remember what time that show is on, and you can listen to it instead of garbage when you have to make some half hour drive across town. hope this helps.
