RADIO EDITS----WHY??
THERES NOTHING THAT ANNOYS ME MORE than listening to a fave song on the radio and bits of it are edited out. Theres a version of Doors- Light my Fire that has the whole keyboard/guitar solo bit cut out!!! Why ? Its the best part of the song. Led Zeps -Whole Lotta Love has a version that cuts out the middle bit with all thefeedback and backward sound effects . Yes its a bit cacophonous and experimental but its the way the artist created it and intended the world to hear it.I think its fucking rude to interfere with someones work just to what...? shave a few seconds off a song . Why? What is this obsession with radio programmers that every song has to last 3 minutes. If you go to an art gallery they dont cut the corners off paintings just to save time when you're looking at it! If they cant play the whole song in its entirety then dont fucking play it!! And while we're on the subject, DJ's ,when you play a record, please shut the fuck up when a song starts and dont open your fat gob until the last note has been played. Again it s totally disrespectful to blab inane shite all over a song . Nobody wants to hear your crap patter, just play the fucking songs, thats what you're there for first and foremost. The late, great DJ John Peel never ever talked over a song, he might have played it at the wrong speed, but he never talked over it! Haha! Sometimes when I'm listening to Classical radio theres such a long gap at the end of the music that I think my radio's stopped working. Now thats respect!
