Holy Association, Batman!

Look, I finally found one of those meme things that I can do.

Actually, I stole it from ashavah who... always finds fun things over there on the other side of the planet.

So if you would click on the following link...

THEASSOCIATIONMEME

I've never done one of these your name here, tell me what you think about me memes before but I liked the idea behind this one.

In the meantime, I've been having fun fine-tuning a handful of radio stations on Pandora (I know, just a little late to the party). I kind of love that so much music is so accessible. Who all remembers the olden days when you actually had to listen to the radio and find a station you liked and hope they'd play a song you liked, or get brave and call in a request? And you had to actually save up your allowance to go buy records (CDs count)? I liked the thrill of arguing over whether it was healthier for the vinyl if you left the plastic on or took it off, and replacing needles on the phonograph, and now just try to find a needle for that old phonograph you have: good luck.

Just in case you don't know this about me, I was born in NYC and grew up just outside it so all the music I had in my impressionable formative years was hot off those important NY stations.

So.

Unrelated: anyone want to play?

Heh, when I was little and grew up on AM radio out of NYC there was no such thing! But later on, with the birth of FM and more relaxed broadcasting/less Top 40, there were definitely DJ whores who would call up all the time and talk to the DJs.

Same thing with talk shows nowadays.
