After Six Years, This Was Inevitable

Written Aug. 7, 2009 by Sean Ross in Blogging + Content with 2 Comments

Okay, after six years of taking a "First Listen" to new radio stations, this was inevitable.

It's from "All The Excess," the often very funny parody of trade journalism sites from veteran programmer Blake Lawrence, most recently of WRXP/WQCD New York. Also check out the "Thrifty Radio Station Spots of the Week" feature.

And while Lawrence's parody of "First Listen" is affectionate, he can be a little more pointed sometimes.

I've been following Blake Lawrence's distinguished career for 15 years or so and can say that he's not only a genius programmer, but perhaps the wittiest person I've ever known. When I first went to alltheexcess.com, I began with his earliest posts and read every one that followed. Happy to report that I laughed myself sick. Highly recommeded to all who love radio, especially those with some historical memory.

It's *ME* who's the genius. ME!
