As a sober trance admirer, I take umbrage with these remarks!  *humph*  Sounds more like Rush Limbaugh than the enlightened soul that your previous posts portray.  Perhaps your account has been hacked; yes I choose to believe that.  Your account has been hacked by Rush (who may well be on drugs) and he is sullying it with opinion stated as fact!  This is part of a vast, VAST drug-induced right-wing conspiracy designed to bring down trance and Obama loving Tumblrs.  Send Rush to Gitmo, but not for longer than a year, for it is being closed.  Then send him to the West Village or perhaps DuPont Circle, for he will surely be just as uncomfortable there.

Either that or we can just agree to disagree.  :-)

It is a well-known fact that the only people who listen to trance are people who are on drugs. The reasons for this are also well-known: the only people who can listen to trance without gouging out their ear drums are people who are on drugs. That being said, I fail to see why you would put your “cocktail mix” hour — that is to say, an hour of trance music — from 6-7PM on a Thursday. Considering that the overwhelming majority of your listeners at that particularly hour are likely stuck in traffic on their way home from work — and, therefore, most likely not on drugs — it seems counter-intuitive that you would play music that only people on drugs would want to listen to. Moreover, considering that people sitting in rush hour traffic are already experiencing a near suicidal desperation at their inability to move anywhere — a problem compounded by the fact that this is Portland, with some of the worst highway congestion I’ve ever encountered — I fail to see why you would think playing music only capable of making that suicidal desperation worse is a good idea.

I know you must rely on advertisers to pay your bills, and they couldn’t possibly be happy that at an hour when they could have many listeners, all of their listeners are being driven away by shit music. I ask you, then, for your own sake, to please cease and desist with the “cocktail mix”/trance abomination that is your Thursday 6-7PM slot.

Thank you,
Concerned Listener
