I’ve been having fun “radio hunting” as I drive around. Predictably, FM here in the DC area is terrible. It’s really a shame that a major metropolitan area like this has such lousy radio. There’s an independent station in Kilmarnock (near my father’s place) that always amazes me for the short time I’m in their broadcasting area. This time it was Frankie Lymon and Dion and the Belmonts… I did manage to hear “I Was Made for Loving You” by Kiss. I probably haven’t heard that since I owned the Dynasty album back in the late 70’s…
I managed to catch a new video from My Chemical Romance today. I’ve written about them before, my conclusion was that their videos were interesting but the music had trouble standing on its own. “Teenagers” reverses that, it’s a straightforward rock song, but a pretty good one. “Teenagers scare the living shit out of me! They could care less as long as somebody bleeds…” It’s a good tune. If more of their songs were like this, I’d be a bigger fan.
