17 August 2009--it's 1977
« on: August 17, 2009, 10:05:38 AM »
...a really long commercial break--I'm starting to hear repeats on all of the ads on the stream. Did they forget to go back to the live signal for 10@10?

(Btw, this Boost Mobile ad is pretty dumb.)

Yes and yes.  WTF?  8+minutes of commercials?

This is getting ridiculous -- it's gotta be a computer glitch. The economy's not good enuf for them to be selling 10 minutes of ads.  Funny, the "now playing" ticker says "USTA", which is the commercial playing right now  -- the commercials never show up there. Major snafu!!

Geoff is the only one of us to regularly listen to the over-the-air broadcast...guess we're stuck until someone in the studio realizes we've got a problem here.

Can one of y'all in the Bay area call the studio and tell them what's up...I can't call the 800 # as I'm not in their selected range of area codes.

surely AL's figured out by now that something's wrong --  how hard can it be to turn the damn thing off?  It's like War Games!  or Colossus!   I for one welcome our automated overlords!

Well, the Sound is playing Zep's Trampled Under Foot, so methinks they're in '75. Not a bad alternative in the meantime.

Time to punt -- listen to what the man said.  He said, "Listen to the Sound".

Well, all right.  Doesn't look like we missed much, though I do like "Purty Little Love Song". (Mondegreen courtesy of my wife)
