Comments on: There is No Radio http://www.widgettwalls.com/2005/12/15/there-is-n0-radio/ Fresh from my brain pan to the breakfast tables of the world.

I guess I should have been more specific. My incredulity isn't with somebody who only has 100 songs because they have limited disk space or because they're getting their music fix through other means...I'm more concerned with who in the hell only listens to 100 songs...period. The way I'm interpreting the stories I've read is that for a lot of people, for example, 60GB of iPod space is total overkill, at least as far as music goes. Reason being is that there's only about 100 songs maximum that most people want to listen to. THAT's the thing that both boggles and yahtzees my mind--that somebody could have that limited a musical horizon. Morph: Thanks for the comment. I guess I should have been more specific.

I have limited disk space and many programs that take up gobs of it. Yes, most of my listening happens at the office. I keep enough around so that when Doc and I get a hankering we have a decent selection to choose from. I don't pay for services either though. I listen to RadioParadise. They have a selection that is wide and eclectic and they constantly mix things up. They are also a great way for me to discover new artists that I otherwise would never have heard. Morcheeba comes to mind right off the top of the noggin. So, in a sense, I let them dictate what I listen to. But that's because they're taste runs so close to mine that there really isn't too much to complain about and sooo much to like. Sure they occasionally toss in a Steely Dan track that sends me running for My Music but nothing is perfect. There's my nickel. I might not have more than 100 songs on my computer at the moment.

I'd like anybody who only likes 100 songs to come and comment and tell me why. Okay, fine. I'd like anybody who only likes 100 songs to come and comment and tell me why.

But I think the 100 songs is close to the mark. I meant about saying you're not a good standard. But I think the 100 songs is close to the mark.

And how in the world would somebody with no taste wind up at this site? Well, the Star Wars fans show up to give me shit, but BESIDES that reason, I mean.

Your tastes are wide and eclectic. Most people's musical experience has been limited by Clear Channel and MTV, so they rarely stray from the corporate path. May pay radio can fix that since it's not so tightly bound to the lowest common denominator. No offense, but you're not the best standard when it comes to music. Your tastes are wide and eclectic.
