Terrestrial radio is now programmed to please the casual listener who only tunes in once in a while. In order to make those people familiar with the songs, they have to play the same ones over and over.

That’s why I only listen to country radio for a few minutes in the a.m. to hear Nashville Kat (country gossip and occasional recipes, what am I? a chick?). After that, they pretty much always play Tim’s “Down on the Farm”…I have no idea why.

Doug,
That’s how I feel too. Even when a song is decent, it wears out its welcome with me when it’s played to death.

The radio is on in my kitchen, and literally 30 seconds after reading this, “Where I’m From” started playing. Why do radio stations feel the need to play the same 6 songs over and over and over again? I don’t like this song at all (and I could say that for a lot of others that are out right now), but I find myself hating even the few good songs after I’ve heard them 900 times during one week.

Great again! I’m appalled by the Carroll song as well. They managed to roll the awesomeness of small town living in with cancer all into one annoying song. While I didn’t see the cancer thing coming, I certainly was not impressed by the surprise. I only doubly groaned.

Well, you escaped Rascal Flatts this time, so you’re ahead there.
