He talked about it today and he shut it down cuz management gave him a playlist and he couldn't play "whatever the fuck" and "mix the old with the new" and "throw in a lil rap and whatever he's feeling".

Fuckin' management, man. Keeping the Opster down all these years. Who knows what deep cuts from Alice In Chain or STP he might have blown our minds with if they ever dared to give him free rein.

Who is STP? Oh, you must mean S-T-PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

Love those deep cuts he references - but for everyone else they were just known as the second single from the album...

It's always fuckin Pearl Jam with the Opester.

Pearl Jam intermixed with carnival music, disco, and Gregorian chanting.

What would be the difference between a show branded as a music show and the 2 hour breaks on the regular show?
3 Abarf 2014-05-12
No, and he was extra annoying and obnoxious today with Denny..

No way , Ants 70s channel for me, Hello Ortega highway Dad

I'd listen if he played some deep tracks that don't go too deep.

In the mid-90's? Probably. Back then mainstream rock was strong enough to have new, fresh stuff in the rotation constantly instead of today where fucking ac/dc and zeppelin STILL GET AIRPLAY because radio rock is utter trash
2 omgwtfitssteve 2014-05-12
lovin the Pearl Jam
2 molloybe 2014-05-12
They all have abominable taste in music, so no.
1 -Strummer- 2014-05-12
Yeah, not on the O and A channel obviously, but on another I'd like to see him in that element. Also he always says he did it for years and there's not much tape so I'd like to hear it.. Ant too
1 bu77munch 2014-05-12
On his own time, not during the O&A show? Sure. I like his taste, it's nothing special but it's enjoyable.
1 dochattan 2014-05-12
Grudge to buttery beats? No.
1 rumpumpumpum 2014-05-12
"Hey there everyone! This is Gregg <pause to inhale> Hughes on Midnight Whateverthefuck!"
1 alexgough12 2014-05-12
I might listen for a little bit. Not a huge fan of 90s grunge but I listen to music on shuffle and so i like mixing it up. Old with the new, diff genres. I hate the format of most radio stations with the same mediocre 25 songs over and over again. It could've been cool. I remember during the hurricane he did a few songs, it went from a nirvana song to like Neil Young, I find that refreshing. But again, not a huge fan of 90s grunge so I'm not sure I would keep it on like I do with O&A.
1 Scoon916 2014-05-12
Only if he played some Ice Quh!
1 Whyver 2014-05-12
No.
0 opiesucks 2014-05-12

0 Abarf 2014-05-12
Yeah, we REALLY want to hear more shitty Nirvana... Ugh
0 Gator1010 2014-05-12

He has no understanding of music or comedy, yet he hosted a music show that became a comedy show. Any show he hosts by himself, whether music or comedy would be terrible. He got this far in radio because he could work the equipment and lucked into funny people carrying him.
Listen to him try to talk about music, sing along, keep a beat, etc. It's terrible. His musical taste and knowledge is extremely "pedestrian." (sorry.)
