Any Jim LAdd fans here in OT
The last DJ!
|
I liked him for a long time (says the old codger) toward the later years of my listening to him he started to talk a little too much and it got to be a "show". In the early years it was great to listen to him late at night when he would play thirty or forty five minute sets of music that had a common theme.
(is he still on... didn't he go off the air for awhile?) Last year when I was on the central coast of CA. I listened to a radio station that had real DJ's. They were taking request and play new rock, classic rock, bluegrass, etc... it was great fun to listen to for a change. |
Uh... perhaps I should qualify that I listened to him on this thing we called FM radio... and we only had TWO speakers... times were rough!
and there were buffalo everywhere |
Nope, no fan here.
He's a hold over from the bleeding heart unrealistic hippies from the 60's. |
i like him musically, even if his politics are a little left for me. We have a recording of my girlfriend requesting a Cream song from him last year, she's his "long legged pony" from O.C. Funny moment for us.
|
His politics are rediculously left - I subscribe tot he shut up and sing/play the damn record already camp.
But his sets are awesome! |
he chooses some cool music sometimes, but he thinks he is deeper than he is with his sets and mixes. kind of a deluded throwback, but i appreciate that he isn't programmed by clearchannel.
|
i like alan ladd.
|
I can't stand him, but, I seem to listen to him almost every night...

He's a bit full of himself, but I used to listen to him on his show 'Headsets' which was a headphone wearing oriented show

LOL, I was waiting for someone to mention the mighty met. I didn't know anyone who didn't have a KMET sticker on their car or bike or pee-chee folder.
those were the days. |

I am repeatedly introduced to new music on his show that I eventually buy. Either newly created music or just new to me - and I'm 43.
That said, there's not a lot of room for new music what with all the Doors. A very overrated band IMO. |
if you listen to KROQ, you'll hear the "new" music that Ladd plays about a year or two earlier ;)
|
I get my new-new music mostly from KGSR in Austin TX - via KGSR.COM. The best AAA IMO.

He'll play some OK sets of music, but the guy is just insufferable to listen to, IMO. Todd pretty much nailed it, (in a nicer way than I would), he is a fatuous, pretentious lead head. Just not terribly bright or clever. Even his sets always have some lame "theme" that is way too literal, it is like a pun. (Which is the lowest form of wit).
Now Steve Jones, there's a DJ! Naturally clever beyond words in a hilarious dumb schit way, and smokin' taste in music. Plus he plays (and does) whatever the hell he wants. He is one in a million, but unfortunately and unlike Jim Ladd he is too bright and restless to stay inspired by being a radio DJ. Consequently, the burn-out has already set in. :cool: |
And I miss Adam Corolla too, Wayne. Did you see the editorial about him in yesterday's LAT? It was great, kind of a tribute to the guy from some writer.
