Voodoo Radio

Something very strange and mystical has been happening to me lately. For the last few months I have had a radio present in my bathroom so I can listen to the radio while I have a shower, and every time I turn on the radio to have a shower a Nickleback song is playing.

Every. Single. Time.

Different variables do not matter; times of day, radio station, (Nova, 92.9, 96fm, CoastFM, I swear even Triple J has forsaken me) none change the outcome. The Nickleback monster always intrudes upon my shower just as I lather my shampoo.

Do I take this as a sign? I don’t know. Is the radio cursed by a voodoo priest that prays to the Nickleback gods? Maybe. Are tiny little trolls that live inside my radio trying to turn me into a Nickleback loving zombie? Possibly. Is Nickleback paying Perth radio stations thousands of dollars to ruin my showering experience? Totally. Will I get indexed on Google under ‘Nickleback Zombies’? Fuck yeah.

All I know is that if I hear one more Nickleback song I’m going to smash the radio (and it’s trolls) into tiny little bits, then put the bits into a container and attach lead weights to it and let it corrode at the bottom of the ocean.

Then we shall see who has their pants around their feet!

    I think to me what it says more is how much flanel-wearing bogans there are in perth that the radio stations are forced to play bogan anthems like “photograpgh’ constantly. Been looking mighty fine there on your recent pics Kittarina ;D

    *lurk*

    It could also be a sign that a visit to the Great White North may be in order (and I’m sure that Nickleback is a better sign than Celine Dion).

    Let me get this straight – Triple J was playing Nickelback? That’s can’t be right. Was it as a joke, a prank, a parody?

    Chuq, I can’t be sure, but one time I swear they played Nickleback or another band that sounded far too much like them.
