- Quick106 fm radio in Portland. Not unlike a
radio-robot doing the crudest of mashups, there is a
station in Portland, OR, now that is just bizarre: it
plays 7 sec of an AOR/pop song, then a voice says a
number (203!) and another song plays for 7 sec! 426
songs an hour, automatic commercial breaks explaining
the station. STRANGE new corporate radio. I'm
recording an hour on tape, in case it goes away next
week (started last Friday!):

It can't last, can it? It is grating the way the
voice keeps saying the number... maybe they'll get
away from that part and just segue all the songs
together... that would be cool... they could just do
it
by verse/chorus/middle-8,
next-songs'-verse/chorus/middle-8... that way they'd
hit the 3 main parts of the song in probably 20 sec or
less.
They just need the automated mixing function in
Traktor and cue points...
dj brokenwindow (crash!!)

"We're afraid of getting sued because it mentions a product name. We can't print the word NyQuil on the record, so we had to call the song something else besides "NyQuil Driver". But we can say it in the song all we want, we're just not allowed to [print it on the record]. We didn't want to get sued. . . I don't even know why NyQuil would be upset. Is it that we are suggesting that there is something wrong with their product? Or, is it that we would be stealing their customers away by getting them to buy records instead of cold medicine?" -John Linnell of They Might Be Giants, about the song 'AKA Driver'
