no chance in hell he'd actually play it, eh?  what a concept that'd be! 
a dj who can _decide what to play on his show_!

commercial radio stations do that a lot: talk about someone 'hip',
without even playing anything by them.  some perverse way to look like
you're in the know while 'satisfying' a lemming audience with britney
spears' & cher's antics.  fortunately you can tell by how badly they
know their stuff:

'...the band squarepusher with their new nothing album _music has one
rotten note_...'

somehow, everytime i think of commercial radio, i'm instantly bitter.
