Part Two

The place I listen to the majority of my music is in the car, and of course in the car, I listen to my radio a lot.  I like listening to the radio a lot because they play a lot of new music, and listening to the radio I get familiarized with new songs. This way I can buy or download songs when I get home and update my iPod as frequently as possible. One definite disadvantage of listening to the radio is hearing these songs or playlists over and over. I can’t stand it when songs are overplayed and I don’t think I’m alone when I say that.

As much as I like these songs to start, hearing them over and over again day after day gets so tiresome. What I think is pretty nifty is the fact that right after you get tired of the number one song the radio station starts playing part 2 of that song. This way it’s not the same exact song, but kind of the same song with a different consistence. One example from last year would be “Airplanes” and “Airplanes part two”. As good as the first one was, the second one featuring Eminem blew the first one out of the water. A more recent example would be “Love the Way You Lie” and “Love the Way You Lie Part two.” Both songs are great and now that the first one has been overplayed the released the second one to gain the same fans as before or more. Either way, just when you think a song is being overplayed, they release a second part of the song to keep you listening.
