I've just been told i'm too old for Triple J

I feel like I did when I first read The Alchemist by Paul Coelho. Someone has just told me something that I knew in my heart all along. But they put it so succinctly that it's like turning on a lightbulb in my head. It could change my life.

Remember back in my first blog post? (it got 150 gazillion internet hits so i'd suprised if you hadn't! read it now if ya want.)

It was about how sh*t Australian Hip Hop is and how Triple J lost the plot. (and how many other people also think they've lost the plot).
Check out the facebook group dedicated to bringing down Triple J if you need reminding...

Well, here's a really succinct, insightful response to my increasing frustration with the station on the blog called "parables for wooden ears"
If you feel a little alienated by triple j these day's then I think you should read it...

This article was sent to me by a mysterious friend who's alias is "brew" He sends me heaps of links all day, it's good to have link sending friends. He also made the raddest comment on this blog.

"adios"

So... Triple J doesn't suck. The station isn't crap.
It doesn't even have to lick my balls!

In fact it can just keep on doing what it does best. Playing music for teenage kids who like electro, hip hop, rock and indie.

The problem is with me, and maybe you. It's with us, not the station.

It's because I'm getting old. I'm out of the loop. I'm not the target demographic. I've outgrown it. Triple J is for 13 to 25 year olds dammit!
It's built to ween kids off Nova, Fox and Triple M.
But it wont take you into serious niche territory as your music tastes become refined.

I'm at peace with this. I can listen to Vega, 3AW, Gold 104, Magic 693, SEN Sports and other far more adult stations now.

I can let triple J go... and it'll give me freedom, my life will change for the better.
In the same way reading The Alchemist made me quit psychology, change uni's, dump an ex ex ex ex girlfriend and start diggin life heaps more.

This is a big moment for me, but it's been a long time coming.
I'll look back fondly, but I won't miss you triple j.
I'll tune in and vote for the hottest 100 though.
