Kay Whyy Ohhhhhhh Teeeeeeee

Wha--what is this? Another post? In the same week? What's wrong with me?! :0

Oh yeah, it's Spring Break and I'm bored out of my mind.

Whelp, you can tell my boss is out of town because my manager has had the radio station turned to 95.5, i.e., KYOT, a.k.a smooth jazz station. Normally I'd puke at such a thought...but KYOT has changed. I wouldn't know when the change happened, but now there's a smooth jazz song about every six songs and--I can't believe I'm saying this--it's tolerable. The music is still "chill" music, but they play a lot more vocal songs now, and a few oldies. I-I actually didn't mind listening to it as I worked.

OH GOSH, I MUST BE GETTING OLD.  ; A;

Actually, I think more than anything, it reflects on how awful the rest of the radio stations in the Phoenix area are. Usually at work, the only stations playing are 99.9, 98.7, or a country station (GAG). I am absolutely sick of all those stations. Positively, absolutely have had it with them. Just thinking about them now gets me worked up and makes me all annoyed-feeling. If they had faces, I would punch them. Every once in a while after everyone else leaves, I'll turn it to 94.5. Yay oldies~ But even that station has changed a bit. Rather than "KOOL Oldies," it's "Arizona's Greatest Hits," so now they include 80s songs. I am not okay with that, because they're all the same 80s songs you hear on 99.9 and 98.7 anyway. No good 80s New Wave songs or anything like that--Journey and crap. Ugh. They still mostly stick to oldies, but the whole reason I don't like listening to 99.9 and 98.7 is because I'm trying to get away from all those same songs. Playing those songs is their deal, so stick to the oldies, 94.5. That's what makes you unique. I feel that 99.9 and 98.7 are stations for middle-aged people to listen to to try and still pretend they're young and who still think they're kinda cool.

Sometimes if I'm working with a certain girl, she will change it to 101.5 or some other young-ish station. I try not to, because the songs are not always appropriate for our demographic in a bread store. But whatevs. I didn't mind it at first, until they repeatedly played the same songs twice in the same hour. If you want to play the same song in the same day, whatever--just wait at least two hours, please. Some of us are stuck with the same station the whole work day.

Unfortunately, since the change, I don't think KYOT has the deep voice saying "Kay Whyy Ohhhhh Teeeeeee" anymore. :'c  Whenever I think of smooth jazz, I think of this commercial now.
