no sir, no more chick pit for you!

Now, I know I have hithertofore expressed the G-mail love, but I’d like to now register a bit of the G-mail unease.  First, they made it seem all exclusive and stuff, what with the invites and all, but now everyone has invites coming out of their ass and why?  Because there’s no one left to invite.  Some friends of mine (Well, I’m use the term “friend” pretty loosely here.  “Some assholes I know” might be more accurate.) have a Yahoo group, so I get email from them about 18 times a day about some shindig or other.  As I recall, I was the first of that group to be assimilated into the G-mail collective a few months ago and since then, at least once a week, someone has e-mailed the list announcing their brand, spankin’ new G-mail address.  It’s super-freaking me out. G-mail is taking over the fucking world. 

We are the G-mail.

In other news, can we get a decent DJ over here  on Sunday afternoons?  Can we?  I refuse to believe that it’s that difficult, as evidenced by some of the other DJs over there like that one guy who’s on in the morning when I’m getting ready for work.  I’m just saying that pretty much every Sunday afternoon that I am not spending nursing a hangover and watching Dawson’s Creek, I am in a car attempting to listen to the only radio station that consistently plays music I like to hear only to have said music interrupted by some guy (it’s always a guy too…) with zero charisma, a dull, mumbling monotone one usually associates with KPLU  and an annoying tendency to turn away from the mic while speaking.  Pisses me off.  I’m like, I get it—you know a ton about music and whatall.  I bet you’re even in a band.  Now, please, be quiet.  Shhh.

i have thought the same thing many, many times...re: weekend djs on kexp. actually, i think that about all koexo djs, usually. they seem to lack personality. it's like they're bored or something.

mkaybe g-mail is like an infection. it's a virus of somekind. spores.

I'm sure there are like two good DJs on that station, but dude, for the most part, they suck balls. I'm serious. It's like listening to real college radio again, which I vowed never to do again after graduating from fucking college. All those guys are mouth-breathers too. I imagine they are sickly and slight of frame.

i'd like to point out that all three of these reponding assholes have g-mail addresses.

I have one too. And I don't even USE it. I just accepted it because someone "had to get rid of their invitations". Ooooook.

that radio station (KEXP) is actually really popular here in manhattan. the broadcast on the web and all...i'm sure you knew that. anyway, for awhile, it seemed like they were sponsoring or promoting a lot of live shows here too. but i hear you on the sucky dj thing--it's not all of them, most of the girls are okay, but at least 60 percent of the time i turn it on, there's some dork who clearly got the gig because he is super knowledgeable about music whjich is a stupid critera for being on the radio. half the time, i'm like, SPEAK UP! but i don't know what time these djs are actually supposed to be on, we're three hours earlier.
