Headphones - I don't understand this. Headphones are what you use to hear music with when you want privacy, or do not want to disturb others. It's not a format. And the Brain Rock title gives my rock of a brain a headache. I don't see this format as anything other than EP is, a playing of favorite songs by the DJ.

The point of the show will be to focus on music that is "designed" for headphones. Lots of stereo effects and things of that nature. So in that since, it is a seperate format.

As for a playing of favorite songs by the DJ, this is correct, to a degree, from the simple fact that I, Tommy, and everyone else that does a little something for AM live on personal budgets and can't afford 15,000 cds, unlike corporations. We have limited music to pick from, but we are constantly building our personal libraries. I think that it is vitally important at this point to remember that AM is in essence amateur radio. Not that AM isn't good, it's just that it is free - i.e. not commercial. No daily income from advertising. In other words, it is a hobby of Jim's and Avian's, as well as Tommy, Sean, Alex, and myself. In closing, I have a B.S. in Mass Media Communication, which I promptly used to get into seminary. Regardless, I have four years experience on air, two in radio production, one in tv production, and one in radio programming. I swear I will do my best to program a fair and balanced show. However, keep in mind I am one man living on a grad school budget. I have over 650 cds right now, which ain't that much. I'm constantly buying at about 3 a month. Besides, needing fresh new material gives me a great excuse to buy music . Hope that answers your concerns.
