I suppose I'll just post this here, since it does have something to do with music, so... I just recently decided to end the cycle of abuse, misuse, alchoholism, boredom, and insanity that is my job. And thus, I have entered into a new career - full time radio dj!!! (Please, hold your applause) Really, this post is just an opportunity to brag about myself and my awesome accomplishment. If you want to check out my station, go to www.z96.com. Eventually, my humble face will be on that page. On the air, I will be going by the moniker of J. P. I'm totally, totally stoked and I start full time on Monday, so wish me luck!!! Nonetheless, I understand that there are some truly great and creative minds that frequent this forum, so what I'm asking for is some help in coming up with radio liners, imaging, cool movie soundbites to help me out with making stuff that I need to be working on. This way: 1. You will be able to use your mutant powers to come up with ingenious soundbites and scratch that creative itch you've had since you watched "Pollock" and "Frida" last weekend. 2. You will be able to fulfill that lifelong urge and turn "You know, I wish they would do (insert idea here) on the radio" into a reality. 3. I will have to do less work, since I will be stealing your ideas. Now, what I'm trying to come up with is inventive ways of saying "It's J. P., on Z96!!!" I've come up with a few, like "He's a man of many talents...unfortunately none of them involve radio broadcasting! Here's J. P., on Z96!!!" but if you would like to donate some awesome idea to me, my charity box is always open. Now, discuss amongst yourselves!!! -JayP- |

Congrats on the new job! Best of luck to you!  Perhaps you could incorperate the phrase "Great Googily Moogily" into your introduction? P.S.: Will we be paid royalties for our ideas if you use them?  |

To answer your first question, yes. If you can find it in a movie soundbite or something.
To answer your second quesiton, yes. In monopoly money.
Oh, and thanks!

Congratulations Jay.
I too am looking to end my mind-numbingly soul-destroying job; I've also always fancied a crack at the radio as well, so I will be living vicariously through you.
Also, if anyone on the forums has the contacts or whatever to help me get an interesting feature-writing or journalism-related job which doesn't involve me going insane sitting in an office managing bits of paper (which is what I do now) PLEASE get in touch with me and let me know. I am willing to move across continents right now to get a job I'll actually enjoy.
Also Jay, does your station do live webstreams? I need to check your show out at some point...

^^What was your major in university? I think they often require degrees now. I did a year as a journalism major, then I dropped out, but here the major newspapers have like a sweetheart deal with I think one university for that.

We're a bit low-tech for that (being a relatively po-dunk market down here in the Panhandle of Florida). However we do have a webcam, and I try to wear my decepticons t-shirt whenever we do Friday Night Eighties. You might want to log in for that... Oh, and I think the Country station and the Adult Contemporary station based out of this building are hiring for afternoons... Interested?... |

THOU SHALT USE THE KEFKA LAUGH! Any opprotunity to use the Kefka laugh should be used. Also, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Just use anything from that. |

I know my local rock station (keep in mind that this is small-town Kentucky - it's mostly Skynyrd) uses the Fast Times at Ridgemont High "What are you people, on dope?" quote an ungodly number of times. Which is not to say that I don't giggle every time I hear it.

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit methamphetamines" from airplane, the victory song from Final Fantasy, and "You must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with... A HERRING!" from Monty Python and the Holy grail, and you should use it as a punctuation for all your jokes

Which is not to say that I don't giggle every time I hear it. I remember when A Mighty Wind came out, one of my local stations would play a soundbite of Fred Willard saying "Wha' happened?" at random moments during the show/newscast/whatever. It was pretty funny, even though I wasn't aware what it was until they explained it a few days after I first heard them use it. |

Speaking of which, you should play him saying "I can't do my worrk." anytime possible. And what are you talking about this 'Shirt' Jay? Everyone knows DJ's are always naked because nobody can see 'em. |

Always one to resurrect threads that have been dead for nearly a year, especially when the thread in question is pretty much about me, but... I just got my own special bio page on our station website. Go to www.z96.com/jp.shtml for a hearty laugh. You'll either be laughing with me or at me, but either way, you'll be laughing. *Warning* I cannot guarantee you will laugh when you visit this site. That is up to the discretion of the viewer. |

I was laughing at the security password that wouldn't let me through.

Can't get to the main page without a password.
I take it the point of the site isn't exactly advertising, eh?
