down here in Melbourne our city's commercial FM radio stations are having a loudness war between themselves. One station tryin to be louder than the next to try n seem more professional. The shit thing is when a radio host talks into his mike, u can hear absolutely every bit of saliva and lip smacking that goin on if u know what i mean. Annoys the hell out o me + the music they play is so compressed it's starting to sound annoying. Now i listen to AM more and it's a lot less fatiguing (god i sound like an old man......) :)
