The Wallflowers "Letters From The Wasteland"

I'm on vacation this week, so please enjoy a week's worth of mini-stories . . .

I couldn't help but notice that most all of this week's posts were based on disparaging comments.  No wonder they had been previously abandoned!

One to make you smile . . .

While the radio station still regularly plays songs off of CDs (and occasionally even LPs!), most of the songs that get repeat airplay are available to the DJs on a computer in the studio, in high-quality MP3 form.

On the postive-side:  Convenience.  You can quickly find a song to play if you need one.

On the negative-side:  The various information fields in our computer database program only allow so many characters.

That means, when you look on the computer display, this song shows up as being titled:

"Letters From The Wastela"

So if you hear an DJ announce this tune as "Letters From The Wastela," you can laugh, knowing that this is some green newbie, who grabbed a song they weren't familiar with, and just botched the title!


Hear the song on Youtube.
