Had to do quite a bit of driving today and I did something I don't think I've done in the past couple of years: I left the radio on one station and just listened for an extended period of time. That "robot DJ" on The End did pretty well for itself today. About a half-dozen Bob Marley songs in a row, not too many commercials (or so it seemed), some lesser-known songs by better-known bands and none of the unlistenable hyper-current crap. I even found the Jack Johnson selections tolerable.
Much as I like having a host for my radio listening, I gotta say that the robot was 1,000x better than listening to Lazlo and gang talk about bodily functions and whatnot. Gotta figure Lazlo is desperately trying to find a hacker to disable the robot before it takes his job full time.
Side note... I, too, heard "It's Tricky" by Run DMC the other day. It was a pleasant surprise on The End. Reminded me of the original pledge the station made to surprise listeners now and then.
