Just did my first apprenticeship and got to play quite a lot of music, read some stuff, and browse through the collection. I’ve never heard of the vast majority of it but I’ll have to borrow some. First screw-up: I let a song with a naughty word on the air. They mark the CDs and stuff, I was just dumb and didn’t notice it. It’s just not something I think about. Please don’t call the FCC.
The cool thing is that they let you play MP3s if you burn ‘em to a music CD. I thought they might have some audio snob/legal standards but it’s all good. The bad thing is that the schedule is pretty much full except for 6-8 a.m. most days and I don’t know if I really want to get up that early although it is a lot of fun.
Next week I’m going to do the second hour so that will be exciting! Monday 6-8 will be a rockin’ good time.
Oh and the song I played with the naughty words was NWA – Fuck tha Police. Oops!
Whoa! My winamp was playing Rage Against The Machine’s live cover of Fuck the Police while I read your post. Weird!
Also, maybe you could publish the playlists of your shows. Leslie does: http://www.robotrecovery.com/
