Radio and the start to your day...

[hossjob]

I always try to start the tday out with some good tunes. It's easy at home. I open my computer, turn on iTunes and hit shuffle. I've got almost 3,000 songs on there that I like. Now...getting into teh car is a different story.

I think it helps to define my day by the songs I hear in teh morning. Whenever I turn the radio on and hear a gem that I really love, it fires me up ! Gets me in a great mood.

However, there are days like today when I search teh stations and find nothing good..........the crap that I had to endure on teh way to school had me doing this to my car steering wheel .

How does what you hear on the radio help you to start your day?

I have gotten so accustomed to satellite stations and my Mp3 and disk changer here at home that I have no tolerance for changing stations and I hate 'talk-radio' with a passion. Especially in the morning.

I can hook up my Mp3 player to my truck radio...so I bring my player along now. That way I'm choosing what I listen to on the road. Keeps me a happier camper to rock along with my choices.

I usually do teh same, with my iPod or a CD, but sometimes I like to listen to the radio because you hear a nugget that you do'nt own or you haven't heard ina while and it just gets me in a great mood. Today though it was pouring down rain and I heard onlyl garbage on the radio....kinda sucked!

I'm apt to listen to the classic rock stations mid-day or so for inspiration. If I'm looking for something new I cruise through the satellite stations for a bit.

Yeah, even the bland radio stations will play at least one good song. I don't really listen to the radio, but every blue moon or so I'll turn it on to see if there's anything new. The last time I did that though was a good 3 years ago...

Same goes with record stores. Rarely visit those too, but just to kill time I went to one last week, and happened to run across a new album by The Kings of Leon. Fantastic album, the singer reminds me a lot of Otis Redding.

I find most radio stations are rotten to the core. MP3s all the way for me.

We can all agree on that I hope, but I still have faith in hearing a few lost treasures every now and then.

Today I got in my truck, cycled through the stations I normally go through and heard nothing I went back in and got my Bob Dylan - Basement Tapes CD and listened to some good tunes .

Great song by Tom Petty about the radio:

"Joe" by Tom PettyMy name's Joe, I'm the CEOYeah, I'm the man makes the big wheels rollI'm the hand on the green light switchYou get to be famousI get to be richGo get me a kid with a good-looking faceBring me a kid can remember his placeSome hungry poet son of a bitchHe gets to be famousI get to be richOr bring me a girl they’re always the bestYou put ‘em on stage and ya' have ‘em undressSome angel whore who can learn a guitar lickHey, now that’s what I call musicYeah they’ll come looking for money when the public gets boredI will fight ‘em with lawyers they could never affordYeah I’ll make her look like a spoiled little bitchShe gets to be famous I get to be richOr bring me a girl they’re always the bestYou put ‘em on stage and ya' have ‘em undressSome angel whore who can learn a guitar lickHey, now that’s what I call musicSo burned out Johnny thinks the books are shiftyWhat good’s that alkie to me when he’s fiftyWell we could move catalog if he’d only die quickerSend my regards to the gig and a case of good liquorHe gets to be famousI get to be richHe gets to be famousI get to be richMy name’s Joe. I’m the ceoI’m the man makes the big wheels roll.
