NEW RADIO SHOWS…THE REAL THING

We are the vanguard of the Chicago music scene underground.

So…

It’s time for the vibes to be ramped up another notch! Too much crap programming out there. We’re the antithesis to that lousy, commercial vibe.

The Bittersweet Player was an app that went viral a few years back when MySpace was a few years old. Then MySpace lost the people war to Facebook. Thanks for stopping by our blog for thecritical-post.com – ezine. The e-zine is a genesis from what came to be known as The Daily MySpacian and MySpace Radio started on MySpace 31 AUG 2006. It all started with this article, Where It’s At — Part 1, and continued for a few years up to article 7. We lambasted the industry at large for poor taste and bad vibes all the way around.

Our mission with the initiative was to change the trends of the music coming out over the wires from wherever, and its business. We did. Bittersweet Records Co. (A Capitalism To End Starvation Corporation) was the face of that change and it’s viral music app, “The Bittersweet Player” is what, in the end, marched out the beat. That transition has taken place and now, it’s in full bloom. We didn’t care how much money we made; we wanted the idiots controlling the major media channels to wake up and start producing something worth listening to and as an afterthought, watching again. Our initial programming vibe used open format programming, encompassing all the main genres of popular music culture, one genre stacked right next to the other in the same playlist. This gives the music listener a break from monotony. We also lambasted the advertising, film and television community, as well as the politicians of the world for their hand in things.
By the end of October 2006, within two months, rap had fallen off the bookings of late night TV magazine shows, and every major corporate label’s servers were drawing major bandwidth from The Bittersweet Player’s music program on a daily basis (known and verified to us by reverse IP search) to see what lineup we’d play next…and still to this day. Our programming of that vibe played the greatest rock and soul recordings of all time, mixed in with unknown great recordings by hitherto, unknown acts who had recorded something of great merit. A 10 to 15 tune lineup which played like a pioneer FM station vibe. Again, to make a long story short, the market is now sounding exactly like our programming vibe…and thank G-d for that, they listened. Unfortunately they’re still throwing pablum out for little girls to become enamored by, and insipid, lewd dance tracks are still king of the pop airwaves, as well as, the Billboard Hot 100. Oh well…but we’re still trying to figure out how to wake up the radio community to their blunders. We’ll let you all know how that’s progressing, once we know what we’re doing. Too bad we can’t afford to outbid Clear Channel Communications, Inc.
