  1. What ever happened to people's phone calls remaining private? The chirp chirp two-way is the most obnoxious thing ever. Classy example: me sitting in a quiet restaurant with my friend, and his buddy chirps in with "ayyyy DOUCHEBAG!!!". Embarrassing. Does anyone have a Nextel who is not a) a construction worker or a NYC public high school kid?
  2. it's obviously an intern who is probably been ordered to do this on the various boards. He or she probably won't reply because all this chat puts them in a defensive position...and what could they possibly say? Surely they are just looking for "bullet points" for an upcoming staff meeting. Sadly, nothing short of bulldozing the studio and sending the existing staff to another planet will help them now.
  3. "neat and clean" and you're good to go, unless you are the child/parent of the deceased, in which case you should wear a suit. I was never a fan of the "all black" thing for a funeral.
  4. Gotta agree with "the new" KTU sucking. Sorry, 7 years on the radio no longer makes you new. Was the original 92 KTU even on the radio that long? For God's sake, even BLINK 102 is better and they play garbage on purpose! NYC hasn't had a decent dance radio station since HOT 97 went all hip hop. Scratch that, it hasn't been good since it was HOT 103. Sadly, nothing will ever change so long as huge media companies run the radio stations. So assuming that KTU will never get their act together, and that they keep all their current "personalities" (thus elliminating them from the rest of the talent pool), it's time for another station to step up. If two hip hop stations can survive (even though one sucks just slightly less than the other) then certainly more than one dance station can survive. Ideally, you would have a few premiere shows like UK's Essential Mix which would feature world-class DJs. Then you would have a lot of shows like LIR's Island Underground where knowledgable DJs actually interview the artists in the studio and talk about issues in the dance music scene. But do it every day with multiple genres, the way talk radio does it. They would also serve as discoverers of new and up & coming DJ talent and have "open decks" type shows. The on-air DJs don't even need the faux charisma of the typical jock. Just announce the tracks and let the music speak. And please, no need for the MCs interrupting the live show from clubs. Everyone knows there are attractive people there and shoutouts are so 1994. And as for morning shows, just don't. Prank calls and "cheating-significant-other setups" are for pop crap stations with low intellect listeners. A good 2-hour long mix show will get anyone's morning started right. Just let the music play. I think there is a huge opportunity for investors and advertisers in this market. The public will embrace it without a doubt. As the saying goes something like "if you make it they will come". Sorry to be so long-winded...i've been bottling this up for 7 years!
  5. Indeed! We turned that little joint upside down didn't we? :D
  6. the problem with netscape is that you're using netscape.
  7. i wish *I* still posted on CP. too much noise, not enough signal around here:(
  8. and this is a good living how? how would you like to make $26000 working 72 hours a week? and trying to support a family...
  9. my neighbor drives a yellow cab and he said he's lucky if he comes home with $150 a day for a 12 hour shift, after expenses. doesn't sound decent at all. maybe others are luckier.
  10. the long hair was getting all in the way when she blows lines off a table
  11. uhhh...canada? why would they be less medically advanced than the US??? Those backwards Canadians and their "free" healthcare for everyone!
