and i just totally screwed up Bruce's on air thing. I forgot to turn on the mic for him so I didn't hear him for like 10 seconds so i turned him back off. so he called and said to put him on after the commercial break, which i did, but i had to put the playlist in manual to keep it from going into the next song. But then bruce intro'd Alabama's song and I hit next instead of play and it started Alan Jackson! oops! ah well he didn't seem to upset. The wind is apparently blowing down their little WINX tent so he's more concerned about that.
so yeah, I'm at the radio station right now. I'm getting paid to make sure the mic is on. haha. 2 hours.
I've decided I really don't like voice tracking. It's stupid and, as a DJ, I feel I should be there for listeners in case i play a song they like/dislike or want to request. or anything. But I'm not. i'm a fake!!!! ah well, it's experience though hehe. But you really feel out of touch, and you start to repeat yourself in whole new ways cuz you don't get that 5 minute break between talking cuz you record it all back to back. There's something special about being in the moment, ya know?
I've also decided that country music is not my cup of tea. Some of it is okay, I enjoy Dixie Chicks and more of the real country people, like Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash. But we don't play the old songs and the Dixie Chicks are in trouble cuz Natalie said that Bush is a moron (though if it was my radio station, I'd start playing them more). Country stations are weenies. They don't take chances. They are the most conservative kind of music and radio station. which really doesn't work with my personality. ah well. Rap and country, the two extremes and not my kind of stations.
Did you know they actually send country stars to country training schools to make sure they know how to act? (I heard Natalie Maines told an oral sex joke on the first day she met her instructor and was asked to leave! no wonder i luv the chicks). I mean, how bad is that? I'm sure Britney and all them have pop schools but it's a whole different persona. It's weird.
I'm bored, can ya tell? Bruce will call in soon, sometime in the next 2 minutes cuz then he's on the air.
see. it rang right after i typed that.
now i have to wait to hear me talking cuz i was too shy to do it live. :-)
*time is passing*
i should have brought one of the 4 books I'm supposed to have read by now.
this is so silly. tractors for sale. oh my god, who is my audience??
oh - who sang that song "I Swear"? Remember- "I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky, I'll be there. for rich or for poor together apart, i'll love you with every beat of my heart"? I just heard a country-fied version of it and now i don't remember who sang the real one. Wasn't it a boy band?
one more break whoo-hoo! 10 minutes to go!!!
maybe i'll go check my e-mail. hehe. toodles.
