My semi-favorite radio station 92.3 KROCK is no longer. Now it plays music for douchewads and jerkbags. I wondered what would be in my playlist if I were a DJ. I knew immediately that the first song that I played would HAVE to be Break by Fugazi. And that's about it. That's not even my favorite Fugazi song but I think it's such a great opener that it would be the first song I'd play on my radio hour called "The Clown Inside You" featuring DJ Shitty Name, Fuck You!
After some consideration I knew I had to add a pretty popular song to keep the audience listening. Hence the Faith No More. (I am assuming my audience has never left the '90s) Then I needed a song with BALLS, so that would be GnR's You Could Be Mine. Then I figured, what the hell, let's give 'em some Mr. Bungle. Carousel is a pretty catchy song. Although the ending might scare some people. And why not add an old fave of mine, some Husker Du? And then a 'new' song I rediscovered by Nirvana. After that, I decide I'm very bored and don't want a stinking audience anyway so I play Mr. Bungle's 10-minute opus that includes the repeated screaming of 'THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME' for several minutes followed by 2 whole minutes of silence as everyone tries to figure out what's wrong with the station. Mass mayhem ensues, akin to the post-War of the Worlds broadcast.
In case anyone is left listening, they are treated to my favorite Fugazi song "Bulldog Front".
Please note it actually took me about 5 minutes to come up with this playlist. Hire me, 101.9!
