The Morons are Winning
(by μ:[sic])
Apparently we here at Faces for Radio are in for some surprises too this year. Paradoxically, this particular surprise comes as the result of the incompetence of the executives at the student radio station which has grown to be the least surprising thing that we've had to deal with lately.
We were hoping to entertain with a feature-filled two-hour extravaganza of a show. We were told that we'd be given this so we went out and set to work on preparing the features we were hoping to include. We had a dress rehearsal of the show and found that our timing was perfect. The schedule, published yesterday, has us down for only the one hour, rather than the two that we were promised.
This means either the music has to go, or the features do. It's tempting to take our carefully constructed features and to put them here in the blog (which eventually we still hope to build into the website, once I'm with a host company who aren't thoroughly useless), but I think that the features will have to prevail.
This does mean that our weekly themes have had to be ditched. However, I do have a chart show on Friday mornings and I'd sooner play some of the music I wanted to play then than to do what I'm supposed to. If they're not going to do their jobs properly I don't see why should I.
Nothing much is certain right now, except that Radio James, who wanted to join the exec anyway, is now very seriously considering running for the position of programmer himself. We've been promised that as soon as a slot becomes available that we'd be given the hour back that we had taken without warning (which is the most irritating bit of it all).
A mourning nod to the musical themes and an un-tribute to the ineptitude of the people we have to deal with at the radio station, here are some of the songs that might have made the first show had their word been kept.
