(no subject)
oh yeah, so i forgot to update about my last week or so.
thursday, i was late for work because i was getting my brakes fixed. Liz from y100 calls and says my office hours are cancelled for that day. i figured cuz of the snow. I finally get to work and leave around 3ish. i look on my cell phone and see that i have messages. 1st messages is an old one i forgot to delete, 2nd one is my y100 friend desiree calling to talk and to see if i heard what happened at the station. At that point i'm just confused. 3rd message is from Josh T. Landow, my promotions director at y100 calling to tell me that the station had been shut down and my internship has been terminated. Radio One decided to change the format to hip hop on that dial number.
i sat in my car in traffic and cried. then i called desiree and cried. then i called my mom and cried. i just didn't know what to do, how stuff like this could happen to a station that has so many events and listeners. basically, it all has to do with corporate radio and parent companies.
i still don't know what to do with myself. that internship has been my whole world, even before i had it.
it was the only cool thing going on in my life right now.
so, now at this moment, we're working on flyering and getting people to speak out about the loss of the only alternative/modern rock station left in philly. there's lots of people who bitch about how the station was never good in the first place since they also play stupid stuff like Three Days Grace and shit like that...but the station had always been trying to stay on top of some of the newer (new to the general rock and roll public) stuff out there like modest mouse, interpol and the mars volta. My Chemical Romance wouldn't be as big as they are here in philly without the airplay they got on y100.
anyway, South by Southwest is about 17 days aways. i spent all last night/morning with jul trying to figure out our Saturday schedule and conflicts.
also, whomever decided to put Lucero, Some Girls, and Death from Above 1979 on at about the same time should be tarred and feathered.
i wish i could have seen Recover tonight. stupid sold out shows. i haven't seen them since they were on tour with Midtown and Taking Back Sunday except that was 2 days after adam busted his hip and the Reunion show played instead.
holy flashback.
