The music industry is trying all kinds of new things. But I've never had anyone request swing music or anything by Paul Anka.

Stop trying to treat music like it's a tennis shoe, something to be branded. If the music industry wants to save money, they should take a look at some of their six-figure executive expense accounts. All those lawsuits can't be cheap, either.

We've been trying to simulate a lot of crowd noise. For example, at practice all week we've played loud music in order to simulate the chaotic environment. All season long we've played better on the road than we have at U-Hall. Sometimes there's not as much pressure on you on the road because there are no classmates or friends in the stands, and hopefully we'll be able to continue that trend. We need to be able to handle the atmosphere of Cameron Indoor Stadium.

I've also noticed a lot of the older rock being re-mastered and released on CD. Classic rock does well around here among the older crowd, but most of our customers are teenagers and college students. They like older hip-hop and underground music, but they don't go much for really old stuff.

We're realistic about knowing that we're not out to hit the mainstream, ... We're trying to make great music for the time, but not to make timeless music. You just try to make something special.

Music is fine and all, but we need something else too. We're trying to bring some variety to the station and have fun while doing it.
