random thoughts about music

We as the local neighborhood DJ's sometime complain that a lot of the music thats on the radio is whack. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of decent mainstream music out there! But I'd say that about 75% of whats on the radio is garbage. Why is that? As DJ's we're supposed to be showing off what good music is. God gifted us with a talent and an ear for good stuff, yet we're not using that gift to it's full potential.

I honestly think if we really supported the artists we like...and by support, I don't mean just simply playing their music...I mean REALLY support...like promoting their music, shows, events by hitting the street, I think we can take back that power of letting the community know what's hot instead of the Record Labels and guys in suits determining what should make money.

But we gotta earn that respect from our listeners too. Step our game up as a DJ and put some good tapes together...and lets do it regularly so that music fans have a chance to hear whats good from us...the gate keepers to good music. Use that talent for good, Mr. DJ!
