Owie, sounds like it may be to late to save many souls from horrible torture now...

Meh. I just turned my portable to JACK fm and the problem was solved. I dig the 80's tracks as it is.

As best I can tell. Goth Muzak 24/7 for a month. I didn't recognize any of the songs. Muddy and low volume like cheap 90's acid jazz.

:\ If I were in that situation I'd put on a pair of noise cancelling headphone and listen to 80s music.

JACK took over the local oldies station here in chicago, and pulled a marketing blunder.

Ads like "We play what we want" or "We don't care about your requests" or even "You listen to what we want" have sort of alienated the station. Not to mention it was a favorite station of many Chicagoans.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Wow, that was a heck of a blunder.

 

[Bront]

Apparently that's their national campaign, but it's not a great idea in chicago. If it was just the "We play what we want" it might have been ok, but the others were a bit insulting to the public.

Sort of like forcing your MP3 playlist on someone. You might like some of it, but you're never going to always agree, and it's always more irritating and noticable when you have it forced on you.

On a side note, when the Tsunami relief stuff was happening, one station offered to play any song you requested durring one day if you donated at least $5 to the Red cross (Or was it $50?). You got a code that you e-mailed them, with your request. As a result, they played Connie Frances, Dean Martin, White Zombie, Britney Spears, The Beatles, Elvis, and I think some Bach that day. And amazingly enough, they had it all in house.

What a wide variety of artists. That is pretty amazing.

Tapes? You tape them off of the TV? I thought you owned the DVD sets for all those.

We have all of Buffy and the first two seasons of Angel. We ain't rich there, buddy.

What she said. I started watching Angel near the end of season 4, so I have a episode or two of season 4 on tape, and all of season 5 (save for the first five minutes of one episode).

I believe my father has every episode of Star Trek: TNG on S-VHS, almost all of them in order too.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

I have the entire series of the original Star Trek on VHS , TNG Season One vcds made from renting the DVDs from Netflix and seasons 1 & 2 of DS9 on tape, and season 3 on DVD. God I love Trek.
