Not again! } Well, that depends. Musicwise, perhaps. I try to avoid many college radio stations. I dislike being at the total mercy of some person who really likes "The Amazing Sex Puppies" and just plays their stuff over and over. Also, the quality of the announcers tend to vary widely. I go crazy when I hear stuff like "That was...uh...shit. I forgot. Hang on a sec. Oh yeah. The Kinks. Right. I forgot. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh...I have to play a PSA now." At best, a well run college radio station has three or four really good jocks who realise that they are sitting in that little room playing music for ME, not for THEMSELVES. Who think about what they are going to say next and who put on very good shows. The problem is: I'm not going to bother to switch the dial every two hours, no matter how good the jock may be (with the exception of Don Imus). So, hey. I'll stick with WAPP. I'm not in my office much, anyway. -- Peter Merchant
