....What the ******** happened to it? As far as I can see, now it's sponsored by CBS and it sucks. On each station they play maybe 20(at most) of the most mainstream songs in the genre. When they first started Launch Music they had TONS of songs and I loved all the random s**t they'd throw at me. It's where I found a lot of the bands I listen to now(Corvus Corax is the first that comes to mind...I think it's really where I started listening to Morrissey, too). I went a few months without really playing it and I just came back recently, having an urge for new music and THIS is what I get.
..No, wait...Let me just tell you..Here's the music lineup for the 90s rock station: Smashing Pumpkins-1979, *about 4 minutes of bad, repetitive commercials*, Live-I Alone, *pause for a good 20 minutes as I have a near panic attack due to the spider the size of a ******** BUICK being this | | far away from me....and my fellow valiantly slaughtering the beast with an old magazine; "My heeeeerrroo" *, Alice In Chains-Man In The Box, Candlebox-Far Behind, Garbage- I Think I'm Paranoid, Matchbox 20- 3AM.........I think you get my point. It's bad, it's bland and it's crap EVERYONE knows.
I remember being about 13-14 and Launchcast was one of the most awesome things for me. I'd sit there for hours just looking for new music, rating this and that to see what new stuff they'd send my way and rating other stuff to make sure certain things NEVER got played again(Mostly Metallica and ACDC...and all things country). You have no rating system with this new one---*pause*....This is the 7th time I've heard Scar Tissue within the past 2 days!----As I was saying....there's no rating system whatsoever...all I get is a skip button, pause button and the ability to change genres. It's just...disappointing. So, I guess it's back to Youtube, while I search for a better means of obtaining new music.
*twitches as Enter Sandman comes on*
