Axe the interlude
I never life without a schedule. Almost. I still have to deal with the sunrise and sunset and this season but for the rest of it, everything is available on the web somewheres. At the time I choose. With the single exception of my local news and weather. No big deal. There is not much news around here. But the biggest distraction is the filler. By that I am referring to the two and three minutes interludes between sections of the program when they play this loop. A time when they could be presenting commercials but choose not to. And the loop has one very distracting feature. It is non musical. The phrase lengths are determined by some algorithm that has nothing to do with what the original composer intended. Very distracting when you like to keep time by tapping or dancing around. Throw in an added bar here and there and people will fall. I suppose that could be one way to create news content. There’s probably some deep, significant reason. Probably related to the contracts they signed for advertising content. But I really wish that someone would take the time to actually listen to what the rest of us here have too listen to, while they’re off enjoying ads. See if they appreciate the musical madness. It actually makes me think of those videos you see where dogs play the piano. Dogs are also not great musicians. I must not rant about things that I cannot control. I do have a mute button, which I use from time to time. And I could have to get all my news from newspapers. Is that still a thing? I have not seen a daily newspaper in years.
