scoob-e Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 LIR really needs to put the 80s flashback lunch with malibu sue back on at 12 pm. they need to stop playing sum 41 followed by linkin park followed by blink 182 and round and round we go. i like blink but i mean hearing that for the kids song 4 times a day kinda makes me not wanna listen to them. they should start playin some covenent and industrial new wave and assaimbanger23 (i know i spelt that wrong) (i guess thats the genre), u dont really hear that too much on the radio.

SnOwiCe Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 Here's my opinion...WLIR should KEEP:-80s new wave/synth/technopop that's on in the mornings-the current eurotrance/house they play nowWLIR should GET RID OF:-80s rock (Ewwwww)-alternative crappy pop/rock-random cheese leftover from KTU like Macy Gray and "Until I Got High"WLIR should add:-more progressive house/trance (DUH)-jungle and Drum N Bass-tech-house-90's hi-nrg/eurodance (hey, if they started with 80s synth, might as well continue the evolution thru the years)-even an Ambient-techno/IDM hour would be great, -just more dance all around in every genreWhat does everyone else think WLIR should keep/add/get rid of?

tonysantiago Posted December 8 Author Report Share Posted December 8 To everyone here: I can actually understand how people feel about commercialism, especially when it comes to dance music. I can even understand why people would feel apprehensive about signing something that has to relate to something corporate such as music being heard on the radio. If you can get XM Satellite radio and hear good dance music without commercials, that is fine...though you still are dealing with corporate in the sense that you have to pay approx $10 a month for the privilege for some company to allow you to hear their signal. Would you allow that to stop you from hearing dance music in your car?? Me personally, no. And sure, you can burn MP3's left and right and you have dance music that makes you feel like you are in the future since you are playing stuff that radio might take a year (if at all) to latch onto. Let me get to sleepiswaste posts since I didn't elaborate. I do realize that the music industry (not just dance music) is very cut-throat. And I can see why something like this could turn someone off in regards to corporate. But what I am doing with this petition, I do it for the love of the music. Nothing else (you can ask people in here or alt.music.dance and they'll tell you if you don't want to take my word for it). I am not involved in the industry (music or radio). I am just a dance fan. Just like you are. And to touch on xpander's opinion about dance music, for years and years dance music has always been given the bastard child treatment and frankly it pisses me off. Maybe I want to get the music to the point where it isn't just the popsy cheese part of dance that only works, but the whole enchilada. Works like that in Canada. Alright, so 'KTU wasn't what we all wanted. Just sounds like Z-100/Hot 97 (1990). Which is why when 'LIR added GOOD dance music, it was time to act upon this. Right now as a dance fan, you have to start thinking in terms of unity (at the very least with the fans of the music that buy it and go to clubs for it.) It is time for US to determine what we want. Sleepiswaste, I don't want to force you to sign the petition since you do have validity to your views and if you really fear that a corporation is going to screw up 'LIR the same way 'KTU's sound is, then you were right all along and I will be the first to prop you for that. But I think the reason why everyone else IS signing is because they want a station that is dance/rhythmic but DOESN'T sound like a 'KTU. Anyway, it is your choice to do what you want. But maybe this is me saying it, but not signing the petition and being a dance fan perhaps mean that everything is good and that there are no problems with radio; you like things status quo. No crime in it, but so far, the radio folks on the other side have been talking in other boards about my petition and at best it at least bubbles the dance music argument once again that perhaps 'KTU doesn't do enough and that people DO want better choices.TONY SANTIAGO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDMA Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 Fuck every single one of you!!! 'LIR should go back to playing "altertnative" music. This is what got them where they are today. As much as I love house music (I'm a DJ), LIR is what turned me on to "electronica" back in the day with the likes of Yazoo (Yaz to the unaccomplished) and Depeche Mode. The DJs now (and I'M talking about Andre) play so much crap that I don't even want to listen any more. Please bring 'LIR back to where it was back in the early 80s and even the early 90s when it was THE station to hear what the major rock stations in NYC weren't playing. Leave good HOUSE MUSIC to the clubs and the ample hands of Danny Tenaglia and the CD players and turntables of those of us who truly love the scene. Let's take it back underground where it really belongs so that we as a city (includinding NY & NJ) can enjoy it again. Stepping off my soapbox now...

TM Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 satellite radio is changing the whole business of radio...FM Radio will always suck... as long as coporate america has it's hands on the dial, FM will be nothing more then a mainstream cock rider for the times...tune into the net or get satellite radio if you want to hear the kind of music you like 24 hours a day, an no commercials... this is the way music is supposed to be heard....
