thank you for this clarification. your earlier post was the same as an oldie station. the alternative to the oldie station is I suppose some "alternative" station that plays shit that sounds like a song Buzzcocks or Roxy Music or Gang of Four could have done in 1978. The familar sound is still there, its just not as familar. The difference is nothing more than pretension. the parallel to "a way to go post" on this board and pop music is still there. oldies stations and this board are 95% pablum to waste a first moments of your day with a gentle buzz, but upon reflection your realize the song (or post) is ultimately trite. the other 5% has merit. but not the posts in question. the realization you are becoming your parents or fighting the urge to ease into being your parents by intentionally avoiding what you would otherwise do, this is your crusade? its like Margaret said in Liquid Sky to the old hippie "and you all wore blue jeans as a symbol to show you won't conform- at least realize you're in uniform?"

This post is wholly illustrative of the problem. What does young bridge see as the only alternative to listening to the same old re-hashed shit on his/her oldies or classic rock station? Turning to the Clear Channel version of an "alternative" radio station and listening to the shit that will be on the classic rock stations in twenty years. Shit that is absolutely horrible, but that bridge will convince himself/herself (in twenty years) that he or she likes because it is familiar to him or her. Same goes to you, g-cubed. May I suggest a different "alternative"? Turn off your fucking radio and go see some music that may not officially endorsed by Clear Channel. At first, you will miss basking in the rosy glow of corporate sponsorship, but you will get over this.
Jesus, it's like I need to spell everything out for you people. You are collectively trying my patience more than usual this morning.
