the morning rush

i dont know if you guys still listen to the radio. since the advent of MTV (and people are more visually entertained rather than just plain audio) and internet, we tend to discover music in 3D now. This is not a bad thing (well, that's my opinion), i guess marketing strategies continue to evolve and plain audio is not enough anymore. Just like in one song "Video killed the radio star", i thought the end of radio is near.... but i'm wrong.

everyday, on my way to office (traffic along quiapo, taft, incredible EDSA and bearable nichols) i tune in to the radio. I'd say, its nice to have a company along the way. Imagine yourself driving without a radio on - you will notice the horrendous driving skills of jeepney drivers, taxis swerving left and right, and pedestrians crossing on green light (hey, dont get me wrong, i'm no saint driver either - guilty as charge! but in this crazy road, you have to unlearn what you got from driving school cuz you wouldnt survive in the track! - solution.... geez, suddenly my mind is in a halt). That's a lot of segway there. Going back. Yup, radio will stay. Now, i have no time to watch for MTVs, but i have an hour listening to the radio in the morning and another hour (or two) going home.

this blog is getting long, the morning rush is from RX with chico and delamar, but i often tune in to the controversial GOODTIMES with Mo Twister (plus sexy Maui is there now) at Magic. Just like television, the stations are competing to get the chunck of listeners in the morning. Its controversial versus wholesome, but with our short attention span we can simply press a button and change frequency. plain and simple. audibly entertaining. radio lives! (i should probably blog about this some other time)

duke: agree to the nth power! he's been the topic during wednesdays, thursdays in the radio - i dunno how the hell he's been there for soooo long - probably all the call centers in india, plus the "pana" all over north america keep on voting.
just like what simon said - "i admire your bravery"

if he wants to stay longer, prove his worth! sing like a pro!

I'm about to shoot myself in the head here but... I used to listen to Tita Swarding on the radio... hrhrhr! :) Gee I miss Chico and Delamar. :) Heck, I miss listening to the radio? There are no English radio stations where I live. :(
