[WXBH-Discuss] The sounds of silence

[Matt Evans]

Yes, I have to sign that the quality of programming and the station are both
intermittant. I listened to one program on Tuesday where the host belched
into the mic and at moment was talking too loudly for the recording
equipment (this was not locally produced by a labor show from Madison,
Wisc.). There is a long way to go in terms of local programming that needs
producing and quality controls. That being said, Mark and John H have both
put in an obscene amount of hours, hopefully enough to get everyone else off
their duffs to do things. Dead air, though, seems to be the worst problem
thusfar, which could be solved by having a schedule of people listening and
controlling the nmmpc player. If more than just John was scheduled to
monitor this thing throughout the week (if we gave John some time off of
controlling the playlists), different people on different days could listen
to blocks ahead off time and adjust when dead air arose by randomly
interjecting some playlists, and then throwing in some better
programming. That being said, I prefer the WXBH quality over all the other
crap we have available on the radio at this moment; it might be crap at
moments, but at least it's our crap.

America when will we end the human war?
Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb.
I don't feel good don't bother me.
I won't write my poem till I'm in my right mind.
America when will you be angelic?
When will you take off your clothes?
When will you look at yourself through the grave?
When will you be worthy of your million Trotskyites?
America why are your libraries full of tears?
America when will you send your eggs to India?
I'm sick of your insane demands.
When can I go into the supermarket and buy what I
need with my good looks?

-- from "America" by Allen Ginsberg
