You can't buy tht kind of awsome career shaping criticism.

Have you listened to CFUV lately? - Sat, 6 Jan 2007 12:44pm

User Info...		 a college radio station doesn't have nearly as many listeners as a more major station would(ie, the zone vs. CFUV) which is why people over look the fact that small stations like CFUV give as much chance to new local/abroad acts as possible, but with limited funding they cant exactly promote every band they come in contact with, unlike the zone who seem to put everyone that applies on to the band of the month(i didn't mean it in a bad way, I happen to like a couple of the "former bands of the month").
and as much as everyone lambasts the zone, i can bet that at least half of the people here listen to the zone on a daily basis and not by choice either. - Sat, 6 Jan 2007 2:56pm

User Info...		 the zone is a FUCKING JOKE, they only promote bands that are mainstream sounding, they would NEVER promote say Cyborg Justice, Wayne Powerman, The Grey Army, The Rotten Friends.

Fuck the radio, i could care less if it was there or not

i have never heard of the 7 year old poets untill now, so i dont think they are a part of the scene, or if they are its a part of the emo scene,which is fucking lame. - Sat, 6 Jan 2007 3:32pm

User Info...		 ehem..
I don't think we are emo.
We are drunk Rock n Roll.
I dont listen to The Zone on a regular basis because I think a lot of "modern rock" is not interesting.
I do play what I like to call "Post Modern Rock".

I do like hearing my music on the radio.
It shows you there are a lot of people who have never heard of us that will now.

As far as being part of the scene, we have played around town a lot I think.
We have played Steamers, Lucky Bar & Logans many times.
We have played at the George & Dragon, Fernwood Quare outside,all ages shows & your moms house with realy cool bands.
Lets do a show together. - Sat, 6 Jan 2007 4:00pm

First off, the ZONE cannot promote acts who don't have a product/service to offer. None of the above bands have any kind of quality product/service to provide. Also, the last ZONE SHOW was MONEY SHOT (punk) opened by SONIC DOOM, so i highly doubt Baker and the ZONE are "narrowing/being biased" with their support.

Out of all the shows i have played, the most "packed" were the ZONE shows. Period.

User Info...		 ok...so all of those bands that jeff listed have music...they all play shows.... what was your point again?

i've played about..12 local shows...got paid for 2...ten bucks :) (i assumed that headlining something big like that would bring some money..guess not.) i know what its all about. you "obviously" need to look a bit closer into things before you type cause jeff is in a band too and he's played at logans and lucky. It's as easy as clicking our names.

i get why they can't play our kind of music...but im sure it could be possible to get like a local all ages section in one of the radio shows and play some ragged DiY recorded punk from victoria. Wouldn't that be awsome? i think the fox does that kind of thing...not sure..


i listen to the zone while working. it goes the zone, q, zone, q. i just get sick of a lot of the music like when that big wave of monotone english sounding singer bands came along....please kill me lol. - Sat, 6 Jan 2007 6:20pm Edited: Sat, 6 Jan 2007 6:24pm

The Grey Army has 2 very nice cds for sale a everyshow, Cyborg Justice has a split out with DTBS,Wayne Powerman has an ok live demo.....so since you know those bands im guessing you just kinda "over looked" somethings about them

"Out of all the shows i have played, the most "packed" were the ZONE shows. Period."

the most pact show i ever played was a DIY show at little ferwood.

Then again, I've always bitched about local stations not supporting local talent. Yeah I know CFUV supports local music, but in all honesty, how many people actually listen to University radio (CFUV)?!? Since I don't wash dishes, I don't listen to radio anymore.

Pop-Metal? You obviously have never heard SD,and thats why we played the Zone Show? No. We played because we got invited by long time friends.

I would like to give Andrew an award for all the shows he has done, and forever reminding us why their music sucks. And yes, i got your reply before you edited it.

And Jeff, i am sorry, but you arent the kids moshing at my shows, its past yer fukkin bedtime.

anyways, i take back what i said about "sonic doom" besides the name, ur not that bad....might want to think about a new bass player though....the current one is a real idiot and if im right about him having a small role in writing and all that, it should be easy to replace him.

just because a band has sold lots of records doesnt mean anything aka metallicas load/reload probably sold lots of records too, but they sucked

You bashed the zone for not promoting bands like CYBORG JUSTICE and a few other totally syck to the max bands. "Cyborg Justice" just happens to be a band you're in... hmmmm............ .... ..someone's bitter.

WE played the Commonwealth place with Maurice & some other cool bands.
We should do some more of them.
I have organized many of these events YEARS ago in Sidney & Brentwood. It was a lot of work. We had to rent the places & they didn't ever realy have shows there that I knew of before, but we wanted to do it up.
Two of the places in Sidney are torn down.

Mr. Hell
User Info...		 When people start bashing Zone Bands Of The Month, it certainly appears to be rooted in jealousy. ML7 were not accepted into the band of the month program long ago and that was fine. We understood that the average listener has a hard time comprehending complex music and vocals harsher than Enter Sandman. It would have been great to have Systemic forced down the throat of The Zone's daily listener and maybe gain some new fans. But ultimately, we and The Zone knew that it wasn't realistic.
However, Mr. Baker was kind enough to have me on his Podcast show and we had a great time. Goes to show that Jeremy and The Zone try their best to include everyone with a listenable product and the maturity to not blurt out absurd comments on the internet.
For the record, all ages shows are as much and sometimes more fun than bar shows. But there is nothing better than drinking your face off onstage.
As far as Pierce goes, we all know he likes to push people's buttons and is fairly good at it. You are letting him get your goat and that is not necessarily looking bad on him. Also, your hack on The Zone was an unsolicited swipe at the Band of The Month program which is also a swipe at all the bands who have been a part of it. Why wouldn't people want to give you shit over that?
Keep on practicing and save up for some quality studio time. Or rent some nice digital gear and fuck around. When you have some good songs that are well recorded, you can come on here and pick a fight with Pierce and not allow him the easy target of your music to attack.

where do u see me whining about not being promoted by mainstream radio? or dissing the zone? Just cause one kid said somethign doesn't mean the othe kid agrees. Honestly...i don't think id like being in some media spotlight anyways. I got into this argument basicly because some1 needed to tell u to stop acting like an asshole putting everyone down cause we're at the begining of our "careeers" (lol) in music. Did you listen to my songs? for a 19 year old writing simple punk songs im sure u can see that we have good rhythem, sing in key. But noo ur just way to cool to concede anything like that to a bunch of lowly kids...

User Info...		 Ok guys may we try and raise the maturity of this,
why are you all fight, there is no point to this at all.
it's just an argument between opposing genre's
mainstreem and underground. just except that
well most people will like the main stream.
otherwise we wouldent be underground. it takes alot
more time and work for people to notic us. the zone
there a radio station and a business, they want results
and if that band fits what they want they promote it, its just
how things are done. now im in a metal band i know we wont be
a top 40's band ever, but who cares, you shouldent care about
the zone, care about the music.

oh yeah Seven Year Old Poets
congrats on the band of the month thingy i haven't really heard you stuff but you must of done somthing right good job.

User Info...		 Can't we all get along? Zone plays punk like Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols and Iggy Pop & The Stooges. Then, it also plays some more modern pop-punk. Why? Because this is the market. This is what the majority listens to. Yes, the punk and metal scene here is big but if you took an all day survey [not just at the places you hang out] you'd probably find most people listen to rap or pop music.

So bands like Cyborg Justice or Wayne Powerman will not be on the radio at this time unless you guys explode with a huge fanbase and everyone starts calling The Zone going crazy for ya.

Just don't blast everyone who isn't on your wave length. - Mon, 8 Jan 2007 11:16am

But then why doesn't the Zone play any bands like Megadeth, Pantera, Children Of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir etc etc. Last time I checked most of those bands such as Megadeth totally outsold The Dead Kennedys and The Stooges and yet the Zone refuses to play them because they are "old bands". Well excuse me but isnt the Dead Kenedys and Sex Pistols either from the seventies or eighties? So somehow metal does not get played at all, which is truly a shame. - Mon, 8 Jan 2007 7:38pm

User Info...		 Pierce, even though your typing may exceed the ones that you are arguing with, your ignorance here is really unmatched. Andrew and jeff are part of what is known as the "scene" wether you like it or not. This scene in Victoria is comprised of Metal and Punk. However you don't have to take my word for it, just look at the events that bands collaborate on and the posters for these events that line downtown. It may not be what is "big" which is really a term in the eye of the beholder, however it is what the devoted underground of kids or older listen to which is considered the scene.

So it's fine.. we all understand that the Zone is a trendy station that wants money, most radio stations do, so of course they continually play garbage devoid of imagination and real fire known as emo, pop punk, generic alternative etc etc. Many of us would LOVE and I mean LOVE to hear some real metal or punk on their but it doesn't happen of course, because the mainstream or trendy type music is what the masses influenced by this herd mentality listen to.

Youve said that the Zone has played PANTERA, SLAYER, MEGADETH ,METALLICA, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, BLS, OZZY, SATRIANI, and VAI which is just laughable for me to even believe. I have listened for days at work praying that they would play one of these fine artists (any metal at all even) and yet not one metal band except for the song Cult by Slayer (on 6/6/6) was played. Oh sure they play Metallica, but can you consider a band that has sold 50+ million albums not to get played, no that is real metal (and please dont tell me they play real material such from the real metal albums ala Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning etc). Who knows maybe I have just not been listening at the exact time ive these songs, but by phoning in and getting laughed at for requesting Pantera or Megadeth this suggests otherwise (perhaps their poor staffed). Even so, if you are 100% right than great they played maybe an hour in the course of hundreds upon hundreds of hours that make up "a few months"

So please dont insult the so called "kids" out there that stay true to their convictions not sacrificing their beliefs of real music for mainstream garbage. And really not that appearences matter but honestly.. judging from your picture of short hair and gap clothes, you have no right mocking people who are true to the lifestyle such as long hair etc. So please dont give us bullshit of how the zone is all mighty and tries to play real music. - Tue, 9 Jan 2007 7:44pm

I personally try to never hack bands. Yes some bands simply do suck but who cares, I am into a lot of different styles of music because I have a lot of different moods. I'm 40 on my next birthday, and when I see 15 year old kids playin at an all agers I don't judge them on their playing level but how they come accross, ie are they sincere....that to me goes a lot further then any skill.

Shit I am by no means the most technical guitar player, but I'm at the point in my carreer where I would cut heads with any player any where. I'm confident in my playing because I play from an honest place.
And I garuntee you I have played more gigs then all of you combined!

User Info...		 I didn't know what to expect when I started this thread.
I joked to my friends that I started a thread on live vic so I could get slagged.
I have gained a few things from it so far......

-It has reminded me that All Ages shows are important to the future of music
1, it is likely where most bands/artists get started with live experience.
2, Live Music has to be available for all ages.
3. I hope everyone who is interested in the All Ages stuff works to keep it going & make it better.

The way I see radio/pop music is like history shows poetry in Shakespearian times. Sonnets were a popular type of poetry to the upper-class & Royalty but (like must types of music & art) restrictive in its form.
You as an artist, poet or musician can choose to create any type of "form" you wish. Each form has its audience.

I appreciate artists that are able to break in to scenes with a piece. A band like Rage Against the Machine or Nirvana changed radio when they were played on it & were then able to benefit from the audience it brings to them.

It is possible to have a popular song that leads a new audience to your music without compromising your art. - Wed, 10 Jan 2007 7:44am

Maybe what you meant to say is, "Hey guys! Congrats! Hope it helps you. Aside from you guys being Band Of The Month, The Zone sucks!!!!!"
Being more concise would stop your comments from being misconstrued.
Also, this comment seemed a tad hostile:
"i have never heard of the 7 year old poets untill now, so i dont think they are a part of the scene, or if they are its a part of the emo scene,which is fucking lame."
Sounds like you were calling them a lame emo band when you hadn't even taken the time to go check it out.
The self praise point that Pierce brought up may be the fact that you had listed the Wayne Powerman Live disc and the Cyborg Justice split as best albums of the year. I understand that to you they certainly are. However, that is just ammo to our junkyard dog named Pierce.
You lads seem hell bent on scene unity and supporting scenes, yet when you take digs at other bands in the Victoria music community it doesn't gain you any support or friends.

First off im not really into "power violence" or hardcore or whatever those bands play, in fact I am very selective upon metal but that is not the point. In fact I enjoyed your songs. The issue here is that the Zone quite honestly is not a good radio station, no matter what you argue, and quite honestly it does not support a large majority of the scene or talent going around the victoria area (nothing against the seven year poets).

How am I acting like an idiot? Im defending the fact that you are calling their bands shit and the ideal that the Zone is just plain and simple a horrible radio station. We all have opinions dont we? - Wed, 10 Jan 2007 7:19pm

--Lord Darkith and Jeff, I disagree with *your* opinion on what a "good" radio station is.

How was it ever considered obsurd? Metallica sells 15 million in the US on their sellout album, and both Nirvana and Snoop Dogg are what is "in" at the time and is what is selling millions, so there is without a doubt that they are getting played, how is that obsurd?

Look here we go, you have to play mainstream music, or else I realize that you will lose business. However does this make you a good station? Not at all.. your playing what the masses want but by doing this you are negating real talent. Do you really want me to believe that other than a handful of bands through the past decade, mainstream music is actually good? Please. But why can't you just make an exception, have a small timeslot metal and punk everyday or throw a few deserving bands of these neglected genres in there.

I remember bitching and complaining that even though metalica was selling millions of albums they had no mainstream radio play. Things have changed, a new generation is at the wheel of industry, but they are still not teenagers.
As a fan it is good to get in a few years of a band at small venues where you can chat with band members at the merch table after the show. Once a band is mainstream radio they loose touch with the fans.
Enjoy good small venue music for what it is. If they make it big you can say you saw a Pearl Jam type band at a Harpos type venue one day. If you want to be a smart ass music snob, you can say you saw them before they were huge. - Thu, 11 Jan 2007 1:10am

User Info...		 Why would any radio station play Nirvana's bleach era meterial at the time, when they only sold 7000 copies.. That makes little sense.. Besides Metallica only went gold on MoP and subsequently with AJFA double platinum right before the Black Album. So even though thrash was widely unkown and considered "out there", "evil" and obscure, they still received occasional radio play.

Yet none of our questions have been answered... Is there a possible way to fit in a few metal songs or an occasional local scene punk/metal song into the playlist? As for CFUV, its a small station that has what a couple hours of metal or punk on, a week late at night, so what is your point? - Thu, 11 Jan 2007 10:49pm

This shit happens all the the time on here...

My opinion of the Zone "band of the month" is that its a good thing overall, as most radio stations don't play local stuff at all. My band was the band of the month last march and we had a blast hearing our stuff being played. The people @ the Zone are good people, Jeremy and James, and everyone else i've met there have been awesome to us.

Now, with that being said,... What I would love to see is Jeremy Baker's podcast be put on for a 30 minute slot on the actual station not unlike "the young and the restless" on 107.7 the End. Could it hurt on a friday night or something @ midnight ?????????? just an idea...a petition may be in order!

101.9, and 101.7 are both GREAT supporters of local music as well.

I love the metal bands around here as well, you guys are fierce lol, try putting some of that team defense into a little practical use OUTSIDE a web forum;) haha ....I kid, I kid.

User Info...		 this thread has gone way to crazy.

I used to be 17 too. Hating mainstream culture is part of growing up.

Wanting to be a professional musician is the opposite of selling out to me. Selling out, is working a job you don't love and not trying your best at your passion. You don't need to be Coldplay or Snow Patrol to make money. If you worek hard and use your head, any genre of music can keep the rent paid and food in your belly. It probably starts with checking a little of the politics at the door and building bridges. Save the "ranting" for your stage show.

I wanted ot put my old podcast on the radio... but as is the case with this indie scene.. lots of talk and rhetoric, not a lot of action. The show didn't really catch on and only got a few hundred downloads a week. The best show is when I had a new theset song (which funny considering the thread about how much they suck??? WTF???) to premier and the guys rocked the show for me on their MySpace (that week I got about 500). The lowest downloaded shows were metal shows. Those are just facts. I think 500 downloads for an indie rock show is good... but that would be very poor ratings for broadcast radio. Maybe I need ot make a better show?

I want to take the Capital Rock City idea to CBC as I think it would be a better place for that type of show. CBC 3 on the weekends has very little if ANY Victoria content and that is far more a shame to local music than What the Zone plays (or doesn't play). Our national tax payer funded broadcaster with TWO frequencies in this town plays less local indie rock than the Zone. That can change is if... I can put together a good propsal and if people listen to the show.

My next idea would be to do a podcast but not limit the playlist to Vic bands and see what happends. Play music that tickles my fancy from all over the world and sprinkle in some local music and see what happends. It'll make the show more fun for me to produce each week and feel less like work.

and lastly... if you are truely fired up on a particular genre of music... broadcast your own show, promote your own shows. Its why I like that Noise Not Bombs guys... he goes out there and puts on the shows that he feels need to be presented.

ANYONE can go to CFUV, do the training and get on the air.

That is how I started in radio. I was 18, thought I could pick the tunes better than the local mainstream rock radio station... didn't get why band A was on the radio and band B was not... and went down to UBC and started an indie rocker Vancouver show. Lots of fun, learned how to play radio DJ dude and it led to a career. Bands buy you lots of beer at shows too! :-)

User Info...		 I agree wholeheartedly with what Jeremy's saying. If you don't like what you hear on the radio, do something about it! I too was one of those angry, disgruntled teenagers who hated the music that was getting airplay on standard rock radio, so I marched on down to CFUV at age 17 and said "I want to get a radio show." I was on the air within a year, and totally loved it - still love it to this day, primarily because it gives a voice to music that I believe deserves to be heard. It's ridiculous to complain about the state of radio if you've done nothing to improve the situation - whether it's writing a letter to the programming director making suggestions of what you'd like to hear, volunteering at a campus/community station, or even making your own podcast, do something. It may take time, but unless people take action nothing will ever get done. - Tue, 23 Jan 2007 9:36am

And this is the problem with our society today. Apparently MORE means better. This is a suprising epidemic that seems to have gotten into peoples mindsets, gone are the days of someone being interested in something unique, now is the replacement of the herd mentality. Now identical to sheep people emulate each other. If your friend bought a new car than you better get that new car, if someone (cool) got that new ipod, well damn you better go and buy one and of course if tons of people are buying the new Snow Patrol album, than you better get one.. Its sickening.. And yet it is so evident, the decline of our intelligence due to this mentality. The average teenager eating cheeseburgers in their new SUV blasting an unintelligent generic musical form such as the high selling Snow Patrol or G Unit etc its just packaged differently. Of course it is your job to play such tripe as Snow Patrol but in the same way the whole underlying theme of your station should be changed from the idiotic, OMG THEY SELL ALBUMS PLAY THEM, to play what sounds original, as in people will like it and it will catch on.

And btw I have sent many letters to The Zone and have gotten responses like, I will talk to my representatives about playing Pantera and Megadeth. I ask again what is happening with this and SUPRISE SUPRISE no response.

User Info...		 Lord Darkith, I am not sure how old you are, but i will guess not very (highschool?)... the back in the day you speak of... never exsisted. In fact, you live in a time of greater choice and MORE individuallity than ever before.

I am sure the wise old men posters on here can testify to how it was for media and choice back in the day. Being into indie music and underground art was work and required time and money to play in that game. no internet, not many radio station, far more controlled playlists than today, WAY less TV, less movies, less of everything and far more control over what went on-air.

I am not going to get into a which band is better than that band sucks pissing contest... everyone has favourites and unique choices.

What sales are used for to determine airplay is very easy. People have taken money that they earned at their jobs to BUY the new Snow Patrol album. Therefore... People WANT to hear and enjoy Snow Patrol. Whether you like them or not does not mean they are not good, or unique or talented or anything... just means that they do the job of entertaining people. I like the new Snow Patrol record AND I probably own more Megadeth records and have seen Dave Mustain wank off on stage a couple more times than you :-P (funny story, when I was little scenester, YOU'd NEVER admit to rocking Megadeth for fear of the judgement ! haha so I guess it hip again for me to dust off "so far, so good... so what")

Be yourself... enjoy and explore music. Music is part of life, it does not define it. And if you are using *your* bands as a badge to say you are better than the other kids in the hall at school, you really are no better than them... and you are the one who is wrong.

Lastly, I personally wish my show was so powerful as to influence popular culture... sadly (for me) it is not... I just reflect it. A Jeremy Baker radio show that was all me, all the time would have far less listeners (but sound so awesome on my MP3 PLAYER!). - Tue, 23 Jan 2007 12:35pm

I don't listen to radio, I buy cd's, make my own music and listen to what I want, not any of that generic, manufactured crap. Sure radio stations simply feed the fire, but can't we balance the blame between people's choice and what the radio decides to feed them? Both sides are at fault. Anyways, what I mean to say is this.

And the times are changing, we didnt live back in your day and we didn't have to suffer through the pain of the Q.

Apparently I have been hearing in this thread that what sells is what gets put on the radio. While I am saying that 99% of music that is on the radio is craptacular, I am at the same time pointing out the fact that Ozzy is part of the 1% and could warrant a bit of play on the Zone, seeing as though by the ideology that what sells gets put on, that would work. It may not be my preference or what is 'very good' music but.. it still supports metal, which is what I am trying to do here. - Tue, 23 Jan 2007 8:07pm Edited: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 8:08pm

User Info...		 that is a fine arguement. What I am saying, is Ozyy is PLAYED on the radio on a lot of other radio stations. Now personally, I don't like Ozzy, so for me, the "alternative" is The Zone. The Zone is a modern rock station, not an active rock station... there ARE active rock stations to be heard in this market, so you are in fact being served. I would argue that almsot EVERY style of music could or can be heard in this town at some point on some station. the more niche, the more YOU have to work to find it and support it. But c'mon kids... that is the fun part of being alternative isn't it?

If you want to hate the Zone, that is fine, freedom rulez! just know why you hate us. (and hate is such a strong word... maybe say prefer other stations to that of The Zone.) - Tue, 23 Jan 2007 8:24pm

User Info...		 Well I know that you dont like Ozzy, but it can't be that your whole management loathes the Ozzman (I mean come on you hate early Sabbath?) But anyhow, the way I see it, is that your an alternative rock station but somehow you play punk bands. OK maybe not many but you do play artists like The Ramones, The Sex Pistols and The Clash maybe more (being a metalhead I really only listened to the Zone at work). However, these bands are considered punk. So that means that you arent a pure alternative rock station. So why can't you play anything by the bands ive been listing above. They have sold many more cds than those other punk bands and im sure you dont want me to start posting numbers again. Anyways that's what I dont understand. Youl play punk that hasn't sold that many records yet you wont play metal that has sold many more.. It almost seems as prejudice to me. - Tue, 23 Jan 2007 8:33pm

We don't play many of those bands because they are on the radio somewhere. So you are being served. Everytime I play a song, I need to ask the question of "what song should I play right now?" For my show... a show that plays a lighter sound of modern rock, those bands would not fit with my mix of indie rock, grunge, alternative, post alternative, emo and pop rock. That is the basic answer.

If you are "forced" to listen to the Zone and really hate it... then I all I can say is sorry. I understand being "forced" to listen to something at work, I've been there... but I hope when you do listen, outside of the music, you at least learn a little bit about your community and what is going in Victoria... maybe you'll giggle a bit at the goofy things I (or the other DJs say). That's what we do, inform and entertain and play some fun easy music to commute home to. - Wed, 24 Jan 2007 3:38pm Edited: Wed, 24 Jan 2007 3:49pm

User Info...		 Dont worry, I understand your point of view, that you have a different taste in music and so does the whole station. But im simply wondering now, now that we have settled that The Zone is a modern rock station and only plays what is modern rock (which doesn't include modern metal), I still need to know why they play a bit of old school punk and not some old metal? The reasoning I can think behind this is that old school metal may be too heavy to play on a station such as The Zone. Then again Disturbed and Korn seem a lot heavier than bands of old, if I am not mistaken. - Wed, 24 Jan 2007 3:51pm

User Info...		 The Zone doesn't play Nickelback?!? When did the station start doing that? The Zone plays music that sounds similar, other then Jeremy's PodCast, they don't play local music BECAUSE it doesn't sound like the type of music The Zone normally plays. I've argued this for years now. It's ironic, you have a local FM station like The Zone, but do you ever hear local music played on a regular basis?!? Shouldn't they support local talent?!? (No Jeremy, every so often doesn't count.) Then again, you gotta be talented to mix in local with mainstream music, and not everyone is (god knows I'd be able to do that). - Wed, 24 Jan 2007 6:22pm Edited: Wed, 24 Jan 2007 6:23pm

User Info...		 oh man... ow the Zone is responsible for the crackhead Nomads that wander around the needle exchange ahhhh!

Darkith... we don't even play that much punk, but the punk (and hopefully most the older stuff) I play is rooted in the modern rock that I also play. Ozzy isn't really an inspriation for most of the new music that gets fired up (except maybe Wolfmother or Priestess).

The "punk" that the Zone plays is very broad appealing... the punks on this site have a very different definition on what punk is compared to the Zone I am sure.

At the end of the day, somewhere a line is drawn... only one song can ever be playing on 91.3 FM and so a decision always has to be made on which track best serves my purpose. and my purpose is to influence the buying habits of ScumFucBondage! ;-)

"The "punk" that the Zone plays is very broad appealing... the punks on this site have a very different definition on what punk is compared to the Zone I am sure."

I'd have to agree on that point.
I'm suprised people on this board even care what the radio stations are playing. Personally I listen too sports radio, and I am my own dj when it comes too the tunes. Right now I got some M.J. "Rock With You" cranked. Won't hear that on the Zzzzzone. Next up "Say Goodbye" by T.O.A.D., then maybe a little Sade,then "Candy Shop", and "Get In My Car" by fiddy, The Remanes "Lake Cowichan", after that some Cyborg Justice would be cool.

The show was a lot of fun & the radio play has brought us a new audience.
Radio is an interesting industry.
Elvis Costello(who was punk rock) once said "the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools tryin' to anesthetize the way that we feel" But thats a generalization....present company excluded of course.

I think it is great that the zone does the band of the month thing.
We have submitted probably 8 times over the years if you include Rocktoria & now we got some playfrom our newest material.
You are gonna keep playin' us right Jeremy ; )

I find it funny that you think Hinder is detestable puke... THEY are exactly the modern band "influenced" by Ozzy and Iron Maiden you speak of.

-- The BOM Seven Year Old Poets show was wicked fun the other night. The projector you guys had blasting behind you during your set was pretty wicked to watch and really added to the stage show.

User Info...		 I just read the first like quarter of this thread and it is epic. I just want to say the following things:

Andrew and Jeff ARE part of the scene, maybe moreso than you guys in your mainstream-mirror bands, because they're actually putting on their own shows and doing something outside of the norm. Don't say they aren't musicians because they're younger or because they haven't lost their urge to create something different, which you obviously have.

People listen to the Zone because they actually like the feeling of being fed the same songs over and over again.

CFUV is the hugest supporter of local music in Victoria, as far as radio goes. Maybe the Zone has the "band of the month thing", sometimes they even make decent choices, but they always choose something slick and digestable. CFUV mentions local shows all the freaking time, INCLUDING shows like the previously mentioned Grey Army and such. I think people don't listen to CFUV because they (the listeners) can't stand the variety and aren't as open-minded as they'd have you believe.

Despite all my Zone bashing, I think Jeremy Baker is the best thing to ever happen to the Zone, he keeps some true belief in the local scene and grew from CFUV roots. - Mon, 19 Mar 2007 11:25pm Edited: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 11:27pm

User Info...		 I don't know why I am adding to this already huge thread. What most people on here don't realize is that the majority of us that post on here are musicians. Musicians tastes are often completely different from the general population. I know as a musician I seek out complicated music that challenges me. Metal is the best genre for it if you like aggressive music otherwise Classical or Jazz might fit the bill. I would guess that the ratio of musicians to non musician listeners would be a lot higher in a lot of these non-mainstream/pop genres.

I can see why people are dissing the Zone but it doesn't seem justified. The Zone is good for what it shoots for and they do listen to their audience to a point. There have been numerous songs that they stopped playing because the audience hasn't been interested. They even ask what people think of the new stuff they play most often when they go out on a limb with something a little different. Jeremy has it right when he says there are other outlets for indie music.

I think if you go anywhere you will have trouble finding many stations that play local idie talent. This is not a problem with Victoria only. My best advice would be to find your own outlet. There are so many ways to distribute media now that you don't NEED radio stations. A great addition to Livevictoria would be some sort of music player that plays tracks submitted by local bands. - Tue, 17 Apr 2007 2:07am

Not true, if you made the Zone Band of the Month then someone thought you were good enough to be band of the month. Methinks that the Zone just fills in the band of the month space, but they never help the band with their career. I realize that this is something the band should do themselves, but perhaps the Zone could point the band in the right direction or something like that. Just a thought. - Tue, 17 Apr 2007 11:53am Edited: Tue, 17 Apr 2007 11:54am

So today I decided to phone in and request the song "A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free) - Megadeth, since thinking it is a popular metal band with a hit song, released today. The hosts were ever so greatful to play it and even promised to but after a while when I realized they weren't going to, I phoned in again. The FIVE times I phoned in they made up bullshit excuses and just lied to me pretending they were "looking for it".

This is just plain bullshit. The Zone are horribly staffed by moronic tools and it's time that the hosts stop treating listeners like peasents and pieces of shit.

not a big deal... I just like to crank the music when I am doing my show. I was thinking of heading up there again and seeing if there is a spot I can fill...
