It seems like everybody this week is saying goodbye to NU 107. Now that news has spread that NU will be changing its format, moving from a ROCK radio station to whatever passes as commercially viable these days, people have started sharing on Twitter and FB their fondest memories of the station. . . of the memorable DJs, the Rock Awards, and of the Music.
Tina asked me earlier in the week something along the lines of, "Do you still listen to NU 107? I haven't done so in the last 10 years." It's a fair question, because even as many of us are nostalgic saying our goodbyes to what is a strong memory of our youth, most of us have already said goodbye to this station, to this era, for many years now. . .

So earlier today buzz built on twitter on how censorship be damned and the DJs were doing whatever they wanted, since the station was closing. I enjoyed my tweet being read on the air: that I'd be so pissed that I could not finish Jessica Z's (and Claire's?) show Twisted in the morning coz I had to be in class. Quark said such a memory dated me; I was proud to have been dated as being of that time.

And they did pull out all stops. Oh my god. I was in stitches and literally crying when Quark started playing on-air a friend's (long) phone recording of a security guard having phone sex. Said security guard was working in the call center of the friend . . . and there was even a deliberate interruption to ask if the Jollibee delivery had arrived. All smiles.

I can only imagine the other things I missed :)
