PPF
It’s friday so here’s another installment of Greyducks PPF.
PAST: How amazing! A little box with a telescoping bit of metal and two knobs, out of which comes a variety of noises! What’s the earliest experience with radio you can remember?
My earliest memories of the radio come from a big blue radio I listened to when I was five. It had a slope on the front that I would pretend was a piano and I would “play” along with the music.
PRESENT: If you listen to anything on the dial at all nowadays, what does it tend to be?
I listen to a little of everything, from country, to rock, to classical, to even a little bit of christian when I’m sick of sex music all day. With my job, I need to stay on top of what is popular on all the radio stations.
FUTURE: In a dystopian (or utopian) future where nobody really listens to radio anymore and the big corporations have all left the game, you’re given control of a big antenna on a hill somewhere to do with as you please. How will you choose to abuse the airwaves?
My favorite type of music is dance music. And they rarely play the good stuff on the radio. I would probably make a dance station. Then for some variety, I would include all the other stuff I really like. And while I’m a pop music lover too, I doubt I’d be open to requests.
