Radio in England is nonexistent. It's very bad English use of a media system, typically English use.
So many people think that practicing an art is a good way to make a living. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. I'm talking about singing in the shower, I'm talking about dancing to the radio, I'm talking about writing a poem to a friend.
When I was 10, I would hear songs like "I Love You Always Forever" by Donna Lewis on the radio, and I want to make stuff that a 10 year old might hear coming out of the radio and think, "Yeah! I love this!"
A lot of stuff you hear on the radio is like instant hooky pop, but I can't imagine it being covered in the future by other artists. It's really for themselves.
Worst music ever sells millions. The worst music with the shittiest lyrics. The fact is that they pay radio stations to put it on the radio, then you've heard it a million times when you're driving from your shitty job to your shitty house. It's indoctrination, it's sad.
Ironically, the success I've experienced at country radio has left me ostracized from pop and other formats of radio.
I can turn on the radio right now and be inspired.
You know, the radio never wanted you to speak about anything, so the music is kinda influenced by the hands of the radio which wants to homogenize it and dilute it and sanitize it. And for the most part, nobody's takin' the time to seek out the cats that are still tryin' to talk, so they have a difficult time being heard.
I didn't know that there were any radio stations in Nova Scotia.
It does make sense to put on some songs that are relatively short, because radio usually only plays songs that are less than 4 or 5 minutes.
Radio listeners are voyeurs: lurking, invisible, eavesdropping.
What was the more likely cause of the Oklahoma City bombing: talk radio or Bill Clinton and Janet Renos hands-on management of Waco, the Branch Davidian compound?. . . Obviously, the answer is talk radio. Specifically Rush Limbaughs hate radio. . . . Frankly, Rush, you have that blood on your hands now and you have had it for 15 years.
I have a 6-year-old, and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car, and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I'm really working on him about that.
We're a free society; we've got television. We have radio. We have newspapers. We have the videocassette, which is coming into play. These are new freedoms.
I love radio, and I haven't done it - other than the actual 'Doctor Who' - for so long now. It takes a different kind of discipline and a different kind of enjoyment, really.
the power of radio is not that it speaks to millions, but that it speaks intimately and privately to each one of those millions.
My parents didn't like me. For bathtub toys they gave me a blender and a transistor radio.
You still have Top 40 radio now, but it's 40 different stations. There aren't many hits that everybody knows, and there aren't many real superstars.
The fact that radio is so hopeless at delivering data makes it an uncluttered medium, offering the basic story without the detailed trappings. But it does mean that if data is important, radio is probably not your place.
I sing in a higher register, and you haven't heard that on the radio in years.
