WAKING UP, TO ASH AND DUST

Definitely where I live it was. I used to cycle between all the rock radio stations when listening to music and around the time that song came out it was all the radios would play. I actually liked the song when it first came out but it got so overplayed.

This is the only clip that makes me willingly listen to imagine dragons: https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginedragons/comments/dh21ul/city_blackout_perfectly_syncs_with_believer_sound/

(Sorry for link from "that site")

Shotgun and 5.56 combo sounds like amateur sound design for sure....it's perfect

And passing it off as a bald eagle

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 37 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My local rock station started playing straight-up modern pop hits a couple years ago. Could have at least left it at pop rock, there's no shortage of that ...

Though they never pretended to be brutal, they were always about classic rock and 90s pop rock. AFAIK they didn't even play Black Sabbath.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

That's depressing. My local station is still rockin' hard with "A Little Bit Off" by FFDP on repeat, with some Metallica and Black Sabbath sprinkled in. They do the cringy "we do things the other stations won't" innuendos, but they don't gave a morning show and don't play ads on my drive home (except for their own station), so I'm happy.

[-] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

“A Little Bit Off” by FFDP on repeat

Gross.

Yeah, I hear it 1-2x/day, and I only listen for about an hour. That's a pretty high hit-rate when there are so many great classics.

But at least they're still playing rock instead of throwing in random pop stuff.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

All your favorite classic rock hits from Nirvana to Metallica!

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 4 points 1 year ago

If only, Metallica is way too hard for them. Their main thing is 70s rock, minus Black Sabbath and punk.

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

If it's anything like I hear they just play Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters and lump it in with Ozzy's Crazy Train and consider that their hard core "classic rock"

The other classic

I'm a big fan of this very specific type of greentext

[-] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

the OG. i think I like that one more

[-] lime@feddit.nu 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

[-] turkalino@lemmy.yachts 14 points 1 year ago

Idk that song’s pretty edgy, it’s about le sex, if you didn’t know 😏

Every time Baba O'Reilly by The Who ends, my brain adds in "Q104" before the next song starts

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As happens to everyone who grew up in the greater Cleveland area in the '90s

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Must be more than one Q104. Mine was out of NYC.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Huh, looks like there were a few of them owned by the same group. Gross.

[-] frank@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Q104.3 was dank as fuck

This sounds like a GTA radio station

[-] locahosr443@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

My instant reaction to this was an overwhelming sense of vice city nostalgia

[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

This feels like a "Sex FM" thing.

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 8 points 1 year ago

I am not sure how to read this. Is it a reference to something in particular ? are the two interlaced texts happening in parallel ? what is the link between a radio announcement and killing dogs in a nursery ?

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

it's very common for radio personalities to be like "THIS IS THE REAL STATION FOR HARD ALT CLASSICS, KEEP YOUR GRANDMA AWAY!" and then play the same 200 song playlist as every other station because radio has been captured by iHeartMedia and homogenized to hell and back.

I'm grateful every day that my rock station is independent, and they still play Black Sabbath and Tool and whatnot. It's still pretty repetitive, but that's because there's not a ton of new rock music.

[-] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

There is an absolutely insane amount of new rock music. More rock music is being made today than ever before in the history of music.

Im grateful that Tool finally gave in to public pressure and allowed their music to be streamed. When ITunes first came out and other streaming platforms became a thing. Tool refused to let their music be streamed because they wanted to “preserve the album experience”. It wasn’t until 2019 that you could find Tool on Spotify.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Do they not realise you can stream an album?

I think the only functioning CD player I have is in my car. Assuming it works, I've never actually used it.

[-] Coldcell@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Anything to hear another cookie recipe.

I love buying CDs but almost never insert them into a drive after initially ripping them to add to my MP3 collection

So greentext is usually used like quotation marks or asterisks to denote roleplaying. Here it's being used to denote a soundboard like radio DJ's use.

The reference is to American classical rock stations that use very aggressive sound bumpers but play very milktoast music, usually the same 40 songs since the 80's

[-] Gustephan@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

I think milquetoast is the word you want; milktoast is phonetically correct but that spelling refers to a breakfast dish.

[-] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 year ago

Interesting. Milquetoast. I'll need to internalize that spelling, thank you

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Please tell me that "milktoast" isn't something that people eat.

[-] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

my stepdad used to tear up bread and eat it in milk like cereal. I've seen some shit
