Reading this thread prompted me to look into how radio licensing, royalties, and advertisement pressures all work together: the repetitive, hits-based playlists they spin are the logical result of their environment. Repeatable and recognizable tracks take center stage, and since classic rock seems to be America's favorite genre, it takes the mediocraty treatment even harder. I mean, I still pretend radio isn't a thing and just listen to full albums off my walkman.
Track of the day: Fort Knox -- Goldfish. Track of the hour: Battle Flag -- Lo Fi Allstars feat. Pigeonhed.
