You can hear some really interesting music on the radio in the wee hours of the morning. Not bad music, just the they’re-playing-that-song-I-haven’t-heard-in-decades-and-not-much-when-it-was-new kind of music.
Sometimes, when I am awake in the middle of the night, I will put on the radio in an attempt to distract my brain so that it will do whatever it needs to do so that I can fall asleep. It doesn’t really work that well. Sometimes it does. Not always.
What this means though is that I occasionally hear what is on the radio at 4 or 5 AM. There are a variety of music stations, and sports talk radio, and the BBC, and – other – things. One local FM station plays modern rock and folk and indie and progressive rock – not all at the same time and not at 4 in the morning, but it’s what would be a college radio station if it hadn’t been taken over by professionals decades ago. Technically it is a university station, but there’s that issue of non-student DJs, and producers, and everything else.
But that’s not my point. My point is what the DJ likes to play at 5 AM. Hearing Devo isn’t that strange. I don’t think. But besides The Girl U Want, I have also heard The Village Green Preservation Society, twice, and Inagodadavida – with the whole drum solo.
This is not normal. It’s not normal, is it? And no, I was not dreaming.
