Loud and Up All Night for a Reason

I can tell you why it's loud from a DJ's or a station's point of view... But a Project 86 fan put it in her words... this is why she likes it loud and it's for her that 3SN rocks out every Saturday night.

I listen to this music because The woman sitting next to me on the bus Wouldn't appreciate it if I screamed that loud in her ear So I'll let someone else do it to me. I listen to this music because My frantic, erratic, sporadic, thoughts come back to earth When I listen to the words of my heroes Coming out in bloody curls through their lips. I listen to this music because I've never really been that good At expressing myself to anyone, in any context, ever. And that scream you hear feels the same way. I listen to this music because I am a pool of volatility That teeters on the edge. And if I don't let some of it out I'll really start to lose my balance. I listen to this music because I miss my father And I never know when I'll see him again. So I'm going to listen to this music because I miss my father And that angry angry scream you hear is going to comfort me. Because all I feel is anger anger building inside of me. and i get really really close to losing my balance. I listen to this music because I want the crude, untreated, unprocessed, natural fever I listen to this music because One time I held my father's hand as he breathed his last And I wanted to scream then. And I didn't. So I'm making up for it now. I listen to this music because at night When I'm falling asleep My thoughts try to pull me back to a place I don't want to be So I scare them with that screaming, double bass pedal, power chord, bass riff, explosion. And I dream, serene. I listen to this music because My father died When I was 12 years old. And I hadn't really gotten to know him yet. I listen to this music because I live in a small apartment with lots of neighbors And one time I dropped my shampoo bottle And my neighbor left a note asking me to be quieter I'm sure that my screaming would be out of the question. So I'll let someone else do it for me.

Noise is a lot like art or beauty... you like, what you like.
This morning I was into the station early to op cut ins from a breakfast deal during the Gospel Greats... and I couldn't handle it. It's not that I though anything bad of the tunes, it's just not my bag.
I like, what I like... and I like it loud.

Odd to say the least...

Kind of an odd night.... I mean the Leafs won, again,
Had a lady call in testing her speed dial for Renovation Transformation,
A gentleman, who didn't like, nor did he get the loudness, gave us the gears,
(Something tells me I'll hear about it Monday morning)
and Hollee Rock was seeing stars, and got pretty hyper after talking with Andrew Schwab of Project 86. Nice guy, says the bands doing everything they can to play in Canada.

Skillet pick up the crown as Rock it champ and number 1 on the Top 5 @ 12... I'm telling you John Cooper's a Bruce Willis fan. Live Free or Let me Die, come on that's Live Free or Die Hard!

Back next week with more to do about nothing, maybe a cheap shot a the Leafs, and more ways to get your loud on.

It's one thing to have IKEA furniture, but this guy takes it to a whole new level

If you've been in the bedroom section of IKEA before, then you'll know what I'm talking about when I say that those beds are just so inviting!

Well one guy in New York actually got to stay there! Yeah, he moved into IKEA while his apartment was being fumigated for cockroaches. From Wednesday until midnight tonight he has been campin' out, playing laser tag with the security guards and even planned a housewarming party.

Now you might be asking.. how does this guy just get to move in?
He actually called the store manager a few days ahead of time proposing the idea, and she agreed thinking that it would be fun and interesting.

So for the past few days he has been showering in the staff locker room, eating out IKEA style, and finding a few problems such as: The sinks don't work, and neither does the toilet, refrigerator, flat-screen t.v or the washer or dryer. "Is anything real in this place?" he asked.

I must admit, I am a tad bit jealous of this guy, I would love to live in IKEA... well maybe not... hundreds of customers per day wandering through your bedroom might not be so much fun.

He was followed by a camera crew documenting his stay for a video, which will be shown on his web site, http://www.marklivesinikea.com.


We'll be back next week to see who will be holding down the #1 spot of the Top 5 @ 12, and to find out if Disciple can hold down three weeks of being the champion for Rock it or Drop it after taking a clear win against Fireflight tonight.

We'll catch ya next week!
Get your loud on.

Tonight let it be NEW!

Over Christmas the 3SN research team put their heads together and mixed things up... a lot.

The Punk Rock Block is gone... Rock it or Drop it returns to 10 PM.
The Red Hot Music Preview hooks you with a future hit/ off the chart tune from a 3SN fav.
The Top 5 @ 12 counts down the latest in LOUD.
Plus more sweetzones and artist interviews than you could shake a drum stick at.

And Hollee introduced me to my kind of "sport" ESPN's Couch Potato Championship.
29 hours just sitting there watching TV, I can do that!

See you next week!
