I'm tired of picking up religion nuts on my shortwave!
I'm tired of hearing that crap. Anyone got any idea where I could find
some music? |

No to be a smart ass, but I have been listening to SW for 41 years next month and in that time it has always had more then it's share of religion.And when the religion is missing then we had the !@@$ cold war propadanga. NK and Cuba are the last still fighting that war. The CBC runs vinyl cafe' every sat morning from 10:00~11:00E, 17:--~18:00Z on 13.655 and other freqs. Good mix of odd music. Last night they (CBC) had a nice hour long music preview on 9.? from 9:00 until after 10:30E, 2:00~3:30Z. I didn't note the exact freq because I was windong coils for a set ofAM/MW reject fitlers. One to pass only above ~1.8MHz and one to pass only below ~525KHz. I have a fairly close (~2.5M, ~3km) radio station tha produces all sorts of in band trash. I get in on all the radio I have listened with. Easier for me to filter them then to talk to the FCC or their rather dull "engineer". I think he works there when he isn't picking up trash. Terry |

When I want to hear music, I put in a CD. If I'm in my car, there's
probably a cassette tape spinning. Personally, shortwave to me is for human voice. I'm not opposed to music on shortwave, but the fidelity isn't going to be there. Purchased music allows me to have choice stuff without interuption. The religious people might play some gospel music for you, but that might make your skin crawl. Darren |

One of the first times I ever heard Gene Scott was when I stopped spinning my dial in order to hear "Johnny B. Goode". Imagine my surprise when the music ended, and the begging for more money began. -That- is when my skin began to crawl. |

Imagine my surprise when the Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens There stood a radio station made of earth and wood Where lived a country preacher named Johnny B. Goode Who never ever learned to read or write so well But he could play the suckers just like a ringing a church bell Go go Go Johnny go Go Go Johnny go Go Go Johnny go Go Go Johnny go Go Johnny B. Goode He used to carry his microphones in a gunny sack Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track Oh, the listeners would see him sitting in the shade Humming with the rhythm that the cash flow made People passing by they would stop and say Oh my that little country boy could pray Go go Go Johnny go Go Go Johnny go Go Go Johnny go Go Go Johnny go Go Johnny B. Goode His mother told him "Someday you will be a rich man, And you will be the leader of a big old church. Many people donating from miles around To hear you pray with music when the sun go down Maybe someday your name will be in lights Saying 'Please send more cash' tonight." Go go Go Johnny go Go go go Johnny go Go go go Johnny go Go go go Johnny go Go Johnny B. Goode |

But adulterating the words of "Our Father", aka Chuck...that's taking things a bit far, you know? |

Radio France International plays jazz. There are pop music shows on the
BBC. Does Radio Havana Cuba still play the national anthem on some tape deck that has mega wow and flutter? That might pass for music. |

Try local AM or FM stations.

I think he was looking for a shortwave radio station broadcasting
misuc. They are unfortunately rare. Staying with radio broadcast music I suggested AM & FM. Earth sounds are more educational and informative that NPR and local news or more entertaining that local music? You are certainly entertained in unusual ways... |

The battle of the propaganda machines that took place during the Cold
War was really quite something. Easily, the Cold War era represents a golden age of shortwave broadcasting. Given present trends, we are unlikely to see anything quite like it ever again on the HF broadcast bands... |

While I enjoy classical music (orchestral -- nothing involving warbling falsetto vocals), I don't think I could listen to it all the time. As far as commercial radio is concerned, there's very rarely anything of any quality any more, which is the point I was trying to make in my first post. Even local news is a joke, if it exists, unless you're in a top 25 market. My first gig in radio was news. It was going downhill then. You are certainly entertained in unusual ways... Those are my thoughts every time I see a TV spot for a local radio station and hear the listener testimonials "I love W***!, I listen all day...."

Well, I can't comment on what it is like to work in the business of
radio broadcasting. I can comment on the quality of programming found on NPR stations, and to be it is well thought out, thought provoking at times and generally enjoyable. I've also found some truly enjoyable programs on small town radio stations. The number of stations found on the dial is certainly a function of locality size, but quality programming can be found in mosr markets - at least programming that meets my requirements. Your comments make me think of a restaurant or theater critic who has been writing columns too long. Things that would pass by most listeners loom very big in their eyes, nothing new compares to the way it was once done, etc. |

For the most part, commercial American radio has become a commodity and the only thing that means anything to the people that run them is the bottom line. And yes, many listeners have taken notice. I'm convinced that the ones that haven't just don't know any better. They don't realize that it *could* be better because all they know is what they've had for the past 10 years.

Part 15 said: There are *few* stations left with truly quality
programming. JS As I said, your comments come across as from someone who has been in the business too long. The old way of doing things is always better. A long running restaurant critic began to whine about how the modern restaurants could not compare with the french restaurants so popular in the 1960's. Not all the time, but she eventually retired and we got a fresh voice. Part 15 said: For the most part, commercial American radio has become a commodity and the only thing that means anything to the people that run them is the bottom line. JS Is this new news to you? Since when has commercial radio not been a business focused on making money. Good grief...thats why all of us devote a good part of the day to working. We make money during those hours. But I think you are missing something fundamental here. If a station doesn't offer creative and interesting programming that attracts listeners then they will not be in the business for very long. Likewise with presenters, producers and everyone else involved...if they don't come up with a product that attracts business then they are gone. But that standard applies in many work situations besides broadcast radio. I'm not sure what you mean by radio being a commodity. Are you saying that the purchase and sale of radio stations is somehow wrong? Stations have always been bought and sold and brought under a corporate umbrella of one kind or another. If you mean the sale of air time for revenue producing advertisements...well...that is part of running a business. If you mean something else, please explain... |
Ah, Chuck Berry. The REAL king of rock 'n' roll from my hometown of St.
Louis. Now there is a guy who needs some worldwide airplay. But seriously, I understand shortwave isn't FM radio, I just want to hear something else besides some jerk saying that I'm going to burn in hell for not sending money. If there is anything I have learned from Christianity, Judism, and Islam it is that these three major religions want you to do three things: 1) Give them money. 2) Kill everyone else who doesn't practice your religion in some holy masacre. (Making insults counts too.) 3) Destroy what ever part of the world that doesn't want to listen to there crap. It's true. At this point, paganism seems rather ideal. (BTW: paganism is not satanism. The only religion that worships satan is satanism. It is not paganism. The word "pagan" as derives from the Latin word "pagus" which means "civilian".) It is far better to be treated as a civilian than a servant. The world needs rock'n'roll. Not the new stuff but the classics like Chuck Berry and Elvis Pressly. |

It is far better to be treated as a civilian than a servant. The world needs rock'n'roll. Not the new stuff but the classics like Chuck Berry and Elvis Pressly. Actually, from what I've heard, "pagus" means "one from the provinces" or something similar. It was the people in the far reaches of the Roman Empire who were the last in Rome's sphere of influence to convert to Christianity, long after big cities such as Rome and Constantinople became Christian. The urban Christians referred derivisely to the hillbillies in the provinces who still believed in the old gods as "pagani". Polytheistic religions such as Wicca DO seem to be more tolerant than the great monotheistic faiths. Buddhism is also a nice alternative, but it practically requires monastic study-something most Westerners aren't willing to do. Even in predominantly Buddhist countries like Thailand, most laypeople just celebrate major holy festivals and leave intensive practice to the monks. In monotheism the less tolerant, more rabid elements are quickly gaining ground, and their lust for destruction is truly frightening. They are willing to pull out ALL the stops-including nuclear war-in order to destroy the "infidels" of the other side and/or force the End Times to arrive. The Christians believe that when the Bombs fall, the righteous will conveniently be lifted up to heaven in order to avoid the tribulation to follow, and will be plunked back down after the "cleansing". I suspect that if Bush ever DOES have a nuclear holocaust, the Christians will echo the plaintive cry of the first Christian, Jesus, on the Cross: "My Lord, why have you forsaken me?" ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Hindus have some very radical elements in their country. They are a small but intolerant minority that kill Muslims and Christians, even though Chritians have been there since the times of the Apostles and Muslims were there shortly after the Prophet died. Wiccans and other more modern Pagans HAVE to be moretolerant since they are an extemely small monority in the world. Though I do know some Pagans who seem nearly as intolerant as some fundamentalist Christians.

I think they just get more press. And they have become very savvy at using the media to their ends. |
When enough Americans become Muslims or Buddhists, we'll start having
the Muslim or Buddhist equivalents of Bro. Stair and Dr. Gene Scott. The Xtn evangelists and the non-Xtns would be yet another Cold War. Hudley Pearse |

Better listen to BBC's broadcasts dealing with Hindu fundamentalism. Or read up on China vs. Japan, 1931-45. Pagans have all the usual human flaws. Hudley Pearse |

Forgive me, but Wiccans boasting of their tolerance are like eunuchs boasting of their chastity, when really they haven't been tempted. Given power, I'm sure that Wiccans would be just like the rest.
