Whats the Buzz about The Buzz?

To: 94.7 The Buzz
From: Rockin Republican

Well, guys, you’ve done it this time. You play non-stop Metallica for 2 days or so repeatedly referring to some announcement to take place that Monday morning at 10am, then play a series of retarded sound clips ending in you guys saying F#$% YOU to The KATT. You then launched into the next songs in the rotation, without an explanation.

I turned my radio off, and with great restraint, I was somehow able to stop myself from smashing my clock radio into bits too small to be identified by an electron microscope. Let me lay the groundwork for this fateful morning. I was listening to your station all weekend at work, at home, in my car. Sunday evening, I went bowling and drank…a lot. Sleep came to be at about 5 a.m., but I had set my alarm for 9:58 a.m. anyways JUST so I could wake up in time to hear your friggin announcement. Don’t get me wrong, every time I heard another Metallica song come on, even though I knew it was coming, I still felt like yelling out “HELL YEAH” (or some equally metal-sounding phrase).

As any rational person would infer, I was not looking forward to waking up so early after a studious night of tom foolery, but I was willing to make the sacrifice. You know why? Because I thought you were going to make an announcement that had something to do with METALLICA. Why would I think that? Because you played NOTHING BUT METALLICA FOR 2 F#$%ING DAYS and kept talking about an announcement Monday morning at 10. If you were just going to switch your format to include 80’s butt-rock, you could’ve played nothing but spandex-wearing, hairspray heavy, dude-looks-like-a-lady BUTT ROCK!

Sweet mother of GOD! You guys practically played the same thing as the KATT BEFORE you “switched formats”. Every damn time the KATT played some weak assed song from Nickelback, I’d switch it to The Buzz to see if you were playing something better only to find the EXACT same song on your station. Occasionally you would switch it up and just play another song from Nickelback. You practically mirrored the KATT 90% of the time.

And another thing, most of your DJ’s sound like you got them from Square Dancing FM in Canada. The KATT DJ’s have a voices that sound like they’ve been rocking the block since the dawn of time. Guys that know that Kill Em All was originally called Metal Up Your Ass, but the record companies wouldn’t put that on their label, so they named it Kill Em All. I don’t want to listen to some DJ that sounds like he wouldn’t know Dimebag Darrell, God bless his soul, from Donny Osmond.

I’ll be honest, I may still check out your station every once and a while if all of talk, sports, and music radio has nothing better to provide me, but that’s gonna be tough, guys. I’d go ahead and slap whoever decided to play nothing but Metallica for 2 days straight.

Furiously,
