Release Notes:
"The music director overturned the conference table, the marketing
assistant threw a chair across the room and an engineer took a
baseball bat to the CD player.
Compiling the track list for Stuck on A.M. 5 was dirty business.
Like junior high all over again, the K staff and volunteers
backstabbed, hair-pulled and shed tears. I once walked out of the
room screaming, "If Kanser is not on this CD, I quit!"
Perhaps we are an overly dramatic bunch at Radio K, but all this
drama benefits the station. If we didn't care, Radio K would be a
boring, mope-rock, typical college station and SOAM 5 would
consist of the same indie rock we've heard since the 80s. Instead,
when I tune into the K, I know I'm guaranteed to hear new artists.
Some artists make me believe in the Second Coming and others make
me want to throw my radio into the Mississippi. Radio K is not my
perfect radio station and SOAM 5 is not my perfect compilation. It
may not be yours, either.
I wouldn't have it any other way. It's not that I'm a pessimist or
a masochist, but I don't like things to be too easy. I want a
challenge. Change does not come and dialogues do not exist without
tension and without some sort of conflict. The true beauty of
Radio K lies in the station's commitment to representing not only
new sounds but new ideas as well.
You can now hold SOAM 5 in your hands, because we at the K
negotiated a peace treaty and ceased the violence. To me, however,
SOAM 5 is not a compromise. The track list on this compilation
represents songs and artists that someone at Radio K felt
passionate about and campaigned to keep on the compilation. These
are the songs that fought and survived the battle of the music
geeks.
Maybe SOAM 5 does not so much represent Radio K as a whole, but
the individuals that voice the station. It is this clash of
different voices that creates an important conversation between
the music and the listener. SOAM 5 may not have all my favorite
performances over the years, but when I listen to the CD - just
like when I listen to Radio K - I listen actively, rather than
passively. I think you will, too. "
