I want one too!

April 22nd, 2005

It never ceases to amaze me how many people see friskyRadio, check it out and and then say, “hey this looks easy, I want one too!”

How do I say this without coming off as an asshole or aloof?

If these people really think that they can start a radio station and immediately start seeing connections on their stream after a week or two and grow into a real Radio Station, then they are smoking some really good weed and I’d say pass it on as I want some of that as well. It has taken me 4 years to get the kind of listener numbers that we are currently enjoying at the moment. It has taken me a lot of my own money to get here, without much help from anyone… It has taken me precious time and energy to cultivate this station, and make it into what it is today. Something like this doesnt happen overnight.

They go ahead and start the Radio stream anyway, and complain, hey, we started this, so where are the listeners??? They expect their numbers to be at 400 - 500 listeners on the first month… I say dream on. Besides, it doesnt just take a stream - you have to fll it with content, and if youre not playing good kick ass music, then might as well forget about it. Then they realise that its waay too much work, or it costs way too much. And then they shut it down. Well, I could have saved them a lot of time and told them to forget it.

Yes, Im coming off as arrogant, but Im allowed to be so, as I have earned it. But its not over yet. Not by a long shot. I will not stop until friskyRadio is Number One… And it will happen. Stay tuned, bitches!

    Are you going to stop when it is number one :’(?

    Hehe just kidding my man! To me Frisky is the number one already. When I’m not listening to any of my records or downloaded mp3’s (of course the’re legal… *ahum*) I’m tuned into Frisky. I haven’t listened to any other radiostation since like forever, this is the only one broadcasting quality 27/7! So big up to the Frisky Bitch! (and to all others: stop trying! ;-) )

    Next level: Keeping it no. 1. :)

Putin accuses Bush of provoking the Georgia conflict to help McCain. Although I dont agree with it Putin, its not without merit. Remember, the Republicans have nothing other than war and national security to run on, so they will scary the American people and make wars out of nothing, just to get the people to vote for them. Thats why they won in 2004. And I can bet you come late October or so, Im sure there will be a “credible terrorist threat” or something of the like that hits America. All they know is to scare people.

Ubiquity looks incredibly hot. Its the first step in making the web for for you rather than you using the web to get tasks done.

The latest release from friskyRecords comes straight in at Number 1 in the ProgressiveHouse.com charts! Straight in at Number One baby! I feel especially good about this one because this was the first release on friskyRecords that I picked up, rather than commissioning DJs to make us a track for release. This track was 100% my choice that I heard and immedaitely knew I wanted to sign on friskyRecords. This proves that no matter what I should trust my gut. Thats what Ive always done with friskyRadio, and now its time to do the same with friskyRecords.

So Barack picked Joe Biden as his VP. Its nice to know that Obama listened to me when I spoke about Joe Biden way back in July 2007. I couldnt agree more with this pick, Barack. Its also nice to know that when I talk about politics, Im not merely speaking bullshit - I actually know what Im talking about. Like when I called out in 2002 that Saddam didnt have any WMD at all, but the reason why he would never admit to it was that in the Arab culture, admitting defeat is like saying youre not a man. So Saddam would rather let the world think he had WMD by merely remaining silent… I was right about that too.
