*sigh* Fargin college radio....
Edited on Sun Mar-14-04 12:20 AM by NightTrain
When my radio show goes off at midnight, I'm supposed to run a pre-recorded program called THE SUB-GENIUS HOUR OF SLACK. So, as I was preparing to wrap my show up tonight, I pulled out the CD sleeve with this week's HOUR OF SLACK in it. But guess what came out of the sleeve? Two halves of a CD!

The radio professional in me said, "This wouldn't sound too good on the air." So I threw on about five minutes' worth of recorded announcements and scurried around the air studio, hoping to find an archived HOUR OF SLACK show to run. No luck.

Know what I ended up doing? I went on mike, explained the situation to the listeners, and threw on a live Otis Redding CD, which will broadcast until the next DJ arrives. What the hell, it's far more listenable than that stupid fucking HOUR OF SLACK will ever be!

1. I've never heard the Hour of Slack
I take it you don't care for it.

At least you had Otis on standby. I love a good college radio station late at night, or anytime they play all that wierd shit you've never heard in your life.

2. Amusing...
A friend of mine gave me an HOUR OF SLACK CD ages and ages ago, claiming that I'd love it. I listened through it -- once, then put it away and haven't touched the thing since. I consider it to be pretty unlistenable too. I'm not sure if I'd rather listen to Otis Redding or not, though. :)

Sorry to all the Subgenius fans out there, but I just can't get into it. (For one thing, I'd be slumming... ;-) )
