You've lost your "fuck it"...

uhm...say what?!

Scenario:
Finished an extended Cinco's Sunday Special. Taking a breather and chill`axing in studio1. Chatting with people on MSN, a couple of friends and relatives from Mexico.

I started talking about my shows on AKAradio with two different individuals, who shall not be named, when all of a sudden they blurted out, in their own way, that I've changed my format so much that well..basically..there's no point in listening to them anymore because I've "conformed" and am "catering" to people. Uhm...that's not true, I tell them. And they proceed to tell me that it is. That I have lost my 'fuck it' and that I now pretty much play garbage on my shows. One of them started naming other DJs that are on AKAradio and how they play the same type of music that he does, and the other person started naming bands and the like that he's heard on the station and stated that I used to play them all the time but that I had stopped doing that. In an essence both of them stated that I should go back to how I was before and stop trying to make everyone else happy. Uhm...what the fuck are they talking about???? I'm probably not making much sense in this whole post, but that's probably because I'm trying to hurry up in typing this prior to doing the Mierduka Show in an hour.

See...this is the deal with me. When I started on AKAradio, my forte was Old School and 80's music, anything and everything in between. I was loud, shlurping down beers on air, talking smack about whatever, whoever, whichever way I wanted. Had the weekly entertainment blathering idiot news and the Today In History highlights. I was sometimes funny and sometimes rather lame, but I was me. Skip ahead some months and I was asked to change it a bit to attract more listeners, so be it. I started playing more new music in the rap, alt.rock, metal genres. Skip ahead a few more months and I was told to 'go find us some listeners'. I did. And in doing so, I started catering to them. Playing the music that they wanted to hear so they would tune in more, and pretty much changed my whole format completely. And it wasn't me being -me-.

You've lost your "fuck it"...

Actually, I haven't....I'm getting it back from having lost it almost a year ago, and going back to how I was originally. Same old shlurping beer on air. Same old talking smack about whoever, whatever, whenever, I want. Today In Music History, anyone? Entertainment news, though you don't give a rat's ass....etc.

Do any of you actually know the kind of music I enjoy listening to? Probably not, but I'll tell you anyways...I like oldies, jazz, adult contemporary, funk, softcore, industrial, retrodisco, and some really eclectic stuff like quartet, symphonic covers of alt.rock and metal tunes. I used to play those genres quite a bit way back when, and now I don't. I wonder why. BECAUSE CERTAIN PEOPLE FORCED ME TO LOSE MY "FUCK IT"..THAT'S FUCKING WHY! *smiles sweetly*

Anyways...I'm not necessarily done with this post..I'll add to it later on tonight or as soon as I can, and I'll probably get informed that what I stated above is -not- what the people I spoke to said to me..but since I don't have those chat logs accesible at the moment..I can't go line by line and respond to them here.

You've lost your "fuck it"...

Fuck you.

Peace, love....and a whole bunch of pinches frijoles!
