Let's Get Us Some Good Radio
This message is from Matt, who requested that I send this to the hot and happening library crowd. I decided that posting this to the blog would be more efficient than email (its original format). Cheers, Lia
Greetings Fellow Dairylanders,
I'm writing to encourage you to take action--not for some political cause or human-rights campaign, but for much more selfish reasons. I would like each and every one of you to have a look at what our good friends in
I encourage you to do three things--
a) First, go to this link and click the "Listen" link found on the far right hand column under the heading "The Current." The Windows 64K link will play on Windows Media Player.
b) Now that you have undoubtedly a good tune rockin' and your toes are tapping, sample the playlist. I encourage you to check other days and see what a wide variety of music these people play. It is nothing short of ridiculous. If the song you are listening to isn't to your liking, wait for the next one--it will be totally different.
c) TAKE ACTION!! I already wrote an email to Wisconsin Public Radio telling them to get their act together and give us our version of "The Current" or something like it. The final link is to the feedback page of WPR. It only takes a second to let them know what you think, and since it really is our radio station (being public, and all) I think we should at least give them an earful. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and write a quick comment in the boxes provided.
d) Forward this to anyone in Wisco who digs on good tunes. No bad karma if you don't--this ain't no chain letter...
Thank you, dear friend, for reading my email. Wouldn't it be something if radio was actually used as a medium to bring new and exciting ideas and music to people rather than 'good times and great oldies' in every city of this nation? If nothing else, maybe you just gained a new radio station to stream when you are online.
Ain't to proud to beg,
Matt

haHA! That is just one more reason why you should all move to mpls when you graduate! WPR will never compete will the greatness that is MPR!!!!! Booya-shaka!
aww, but i like good times great oldies *pout pout pout* however, i suppose i could go and look at the playlists. *sigh*
Youse guys, don't give WPR a bad rap. They produce bzillions of shows on a very wee budget. Although I am sick of the constant classical music. Constantly? Really? I mean, I know that part of the mission of every public radio station is to be cultured and intellectual and pretentious, but I just don't have the stamina to be that high-minded all the time.
Matt thinks we're a hot and happening crowd!?
I have only two words to prove Matt's point: Zorba. Paster.
