Can you hear me clearly?
Around the dial.
Ive been around the dial so many times,
But youre not there.
Somebody tells me that youve been taken off the air.
Well, you were my favorite d.j.,
Since I cant remember when.
You always played the best records,
You never followed any trend.
F.m., a.m. where are you?
You gotta be out there somewhere on the dial.
On the dial.
(are you ready) were going round the dial,
(are you listening) around the dial,
(are you tuned in) around the dial,
(are you searchin) around the dial.
F.m., a.m. where are you?
You gotta be out there somewhere on the dial.
On the dial.
Where did you go mr. d.j.?
Did they take you off the air?
Was it something that you said to the corporation guys upstairs?
It wasnt the pressure,
You never sounded down.
It couldnt be the ratings,
You had the best in town.
Somehow Im gonna find ya, track you down.
Gonna keep on searchin,
Around and around and round and round...
(theyre searchin) around the dial,
(theyre listenin) around the dial,
(poor station) the best in town,
(poor d.j.) who never let us down.
While the critics kept on knocking you,
You just kept on rocking around the dial.
Around the dial.
Ive been searchin for you on my radio.
This time your station really must have gone underground
Somebody said you had a minor nervous breakdown.
Was it something that you heard,
Or something that you saw,
That made you lose your mind,
Did you lose control.
Did you step out of line?
If youre there, give us a sign.
I cant believe that youve been taken off the air.
Think Ill sell my radio now that youre not there.
You never gave in to fashion,
You never followed any trends,
All the record bums tried to hack you up,
But you were honest to the end.
Gonna keep my radio on,
till I know just what went wrong.
The answers out there somewhere on the dial.
On the dial.
Can you hear me (around the dial)
Are you listenin (around the dial)
Are you out there (around the dial)
Can you hear me?
Around the dial.

All "New Metal" acts must die - same MTV garbage as the 80's hair bands. Just this time they have Tattoos, and wear black.
Bumped into Daniel Higgs, the singer from Lungfish (warning iTunes link), in Baltimore the other day. Cool guy, good band.

I'm sorry but 80's hair bands rule. I just bought divegirl Monster Ballads Platnium and it rules. Nirvana and grunge were the worst thing to ever happen to music. Took some perfectly good rockin shit about getting drunk, snorting coke, and banging chicks and turned it into useless angry crap. Now its hard to find happy rocking music. Anything hard is angry. No goddammit, I don't want to fuck my mother, kill my father, shoot up my school, wear black, or mope around solemly so take your skinny pale scruffy grunge ass out of my sight and go fuck yourself. I want to rock and roll all night, and party every day!!!
