More Radio!!!

So, as you *might* have heard (but probably not) I was music director for our latest Youth Radio production. I played some cool music, like Jonathon Richman and the Modern Lovers playing "Double Chocolate Malted" and Flogging Molly playing "Selfish Man". The production itself went very well, but it was what happened before that annoys me.

So, Luis, Meena, and I were producing a promo, a cart, an ad, for Youth Radio because we were bored and we were done with our tasks. Luis had a really cool idea and so Meena and I said we would help him make it. There was this part on a song that said, "This is the absolutely bestest, coolest production I have evvvvvveeeeeerrrrr seen." and stuff like that. Then we all said "Youth Radio, Youth Radio, Youth Radio!" but not in unison. It sounded really cool over music. Then we put me in the background asking "Aren't you going to say Sundays at 7?" and then Luis says "Oh, yeah. Suuuuunnnnnnddddaaaayyyyys (then me) aaaaaattttt (then Luis) ssssseeeeevvvvvveeeeennnn (then me) ooooonnnnnn (then Meena) KUNM. Then we used this thing with Luis saying "I've got a cup on my head..." in a really weird voice. It turned out to be a REALLY cool promo and I had to edit it right down to the milisecond because it was really packed full of stuff. then we showed it to Roberta and Tracy and a bunch of other people and they said "Wow! Cool promo you guys!" and everything was cool.

But no, not in Youth Radio, it could not be cool. NOTHING CAN BE COOL WITH EVERYONE!!! So we did the run through, and we did well, then Roberta started talking about our promo. She said that we needed to have EVERYONE in it saying "Youth Radio!" and that we needed to be more "collective-minded". We said that in order for a collective to work, individuals need to contribute, not just the entire collective voting on voting on something and then voting on whether or not we should accept that vote and so on and so forth...We need some INDIVIDUAL contributions. Roberta seems to think that a collective is ONE person, not many people working together. Then I, being the person who engineered this promo, told her that it would take a while to record all the people and then reedit it
