What are you listening to right now (2025-03)

[BRBFBI]

Prior to the Telecommunications Act of 1996, broadcasters in the US were limited in how many radio stations they could own. Since 1996 a few conglomerates own the vast majority of FM radio stations, which is how you end up hearing the same handful of songs every time you turn on the radio.

Recently my favorite listener supported radio station from my home town started broadcasting on a repeater where I now live. The FM channel they took over was previously used by a pirate radio station which played hard EDM, followed by a commercial station which tried and failed to imitate the pirate station. I'm thrilled to have an independent station to listen to again. Every time I tune in I hear stuff I've never heard before, which is how I found this song.

I need a cleaning version of this song

Started spring cleaning early. On the laptop now since I'm cleaning
out the main desktop computer. Been a bit longer since I cleaned up around here.

Something like this:

Cleaning time, open all the windows
And let the dust out into the world
Cleaning time, turn all of the lights on
Over every dirt and grime

Cleaning time, one last check for dust mites
So, finish your dusting and mopping
Cleaning time, you don't have a clean home
Dust you can't stay here

[chuft]

Wired phones and payphones

And after one gets done with all that cleaning, you feel dirtier than everything you just cleaned up.

I forgot how good this song was. Was reminded of it by what's going on at the CDC.

Strange I got an email that you posted something in here that says "Like the college radio stations back in the day" but I don't see it.

Oh nevermind it's a comment to a post up the page.

[boredjedi]

Yeah I used the note rather than full reply
