That picture is creeping me out. I feel like I’m walking in on someone’s intimate moments every time I look at this page.

Alan Cross pisses me off. On one hand, his ‘history of new music’ show is always informative and fun even if i dont like the band. on the other, well a couple years ago when i worked mornings at a refinery, I had to listen to 102.1 all day. Every morning they’d play “Fight for your Right” and “Loser” and “Creep” and “Under the Bridge”, and never any other songs from the respective bands who play such hits. If you were to listen to the show you’d think none of these bands had careers outside of these songs, that they were one hit wonders. And somehow its necessary to play these every day. So I shot him an email politely asking him to mix it up and got a really douchey response about how this is what people want and its all about ratings and how dare I. I was taken a bit aback at how offended he was by the suggestion of simply playing a different RHCP song once in a while. The programming on 102.1 is mroe awful now than ever, and in around 10 years when he’s still doing this show he’s going to be covering the careers of bands they have never ever played.

As for Belinda Stronach, I’m a bit surprised, she’s a big political celebrity. She almost won the Conservative Party leadership several years back and dated (now) Defense Minister Peter McKay. Big item. She flipped to the Liberals on a dime right before a humongous vote, it was extremely controversial, made their relationship big tabloid fodder here, and she left politics a couple years ago to focus with her familys company, Magna, who essentially own all of Aurora/Newmarket and who are now apparently cutting so many jobs it will ruin that city.

Seriously though, I’m hoping “Fan Remix of the Week” can become a weekly feature. Get working guys!
