Podcasting DJ Brad Morley has assembled a collection of punk tunes in the form of a nineteen minute set complete with DJ breaks announcing the tunes. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to hear local punk acts from Morely's hometown of Flint, MI.
While this is professionally produced in a community radio sort of way, it really is not fit for terrestrial broadcast both because of the language and because of the program's odd length.
So let’s be a bit real. This is hardly political music. This is pretty much the same kind of musical fare you can find on any commercial Alternative station. The jock is processed in a kind of telephone filter thing. It masks his young age quite well and his breaks are pretty nice. Sure some might say all these tunes are political, but I can’t really find too much depth to this stuff. It’s no 2005 equivalent of Blowing In The Wind. Call me old.
The music is nicely selected if you a fan of genre. Let’s face it, it’s not a public radio format. Our product must meet the needs of folks who are willing and able to give us money. I suspect folks in the under 30 demo who admire this kind of music are either able or possess the values to make financial contributions to public radio.
Be that as it may, this would be a great show for those college based stations that do this kind of thing. However, only on line stations can use this particular show because there are too many F bombs in one of the songs. Remember boi’s, the FCC doesn’t like that kind of thing.
Production is very nice and will mixed. My hope is these budding radio professionals enjoy the medium of radio as much as they seem to love the music. If they can separate the radio biz from the music biz, I suspect they will have long and successful careers.

Alternative Just Ain't What It Used To Be
