Radio 104.5 played Harmony Hall by Vampire Weekend TWICE today.

Both times had the piano solo and guitar solo cut out.

They decided to take a 4:30 song down to a 3:30 song by removing the BEST PART OF THE SONG!

Seriously, you hear the chorus of that song five fucking times in four minutes.

Shorten the intro, remove the outro, but don’t cut out the one musically creative part so you can get back to playing Running Up That Hill by Meg Myers for the hundredth fucking time today.

This is why I don’t listen to the radio anymore. Call me old, call me a cuck, I don’t care. This one did it for me.

In the words of Billy Joel:

It was a beautiful song
But it ran too long
If you’re gonna have a hit
You gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05
