I think not listening to the radio (well not music stations, anyway) saves me from singers being overplayed. I am sure I'd get sick of everyone out there if I only heard the same 20 songs replayed all day.
I have a long commute twice a week (a client who requests me onsite) and have discovered how much faster the drive goes by listening to podcasts. Megan Walker got me into Books n the Nightstand but my new favorite is Marc Maron doing his WTF podcast with comedians. It's filthy language and a lot of it is indecent but it's also hilarious and insightful. Any of you listen?
Woot! My nephew just landed a job doing something with robots! His future world domination is underway. (Nephew's promised me some nice coastal Great Lakes property and to support
Firefly
for 10 new seasons, so I'm all for his progress.)
Matt, you are a hater!
I wasn't the first few hundred times I heard "Rolling in the Deep" played.
I have still never heard "Rolling in the Deep."
KATE. Whoa. Really? Wow. Is it a matter of pride at this point, or are you just afraid of the hype?
I don't know if I've ever heard "Rolling in the Deep." The only radio stations I ever listen to are classic rock or NPR, so if I've heard it it was probably at the grocery store or something. I only recognize "Someone Like You" because of that SNL sketch.
It's actually a really good song. The first time I heard it I watched it like 5 times in a row, I was so blown away.
I don't think I've heard any Adele, but I listen to stations that play from the 70s to now in rock. And the high school indie station. I think I heard one song of hers, and I liked it.
I like Rolling in the Deep and Set Fire to the Rain, but I don't listen to the radio much. When I'm in the mood I play them, and when I'm not I don't. It saves aural burnout.
I still love it, but I also don't listen to the radio much, so I haven't gotten burned out on it. [link] The video is pretty awesome, too.
