Whoever wrote this 30 days thing didn't really think the categories through. There are so many hundreds of radio stations available these days that if you're still listening to Radio 1 and whining that they don't play your favourite bands, you're probably an idiot.
As stated in my previous post, I don't listen to the radio an awful lot. So what am I being asked here? I'm interpreting it as 'music I've come across, and wish I'd known about sooner, as opposed to through randomly discovering it myself'.
I happened upon this band purely because I saw the album in a record shop in Brighton and I really liked the cover and I knew the label. I bought it, and now it's one of my favourite albums of last year. Why didn't I have it handed on a plate to me by the radio? GOD DAMN YOU MODERN WORLD.
My other half also pointed out that, really, I wouldn't want anything I like played on the radio. Because then it becomes popular and de facto I can't like it any more. It's true. I even only liked the Chilean miners when they were still underground.
Fuck the cover. And fuck you for liking the cover.
