It’s on the cover of today’s PI…
Here’s the PI’s caption…
John Richards of Seattle radio station KEXP sends a song from his Zune to one held by Microsoft chairman Bill Gates by using the wireless sharing feature in the new music device at Westlake Park in Seattle on Monday.
Care to write a caption of your own?
I don't know about a caption, but I am NOT feeling John's hair these days.
Are you kidding?!? Oh, how I miss long, beautiful man hair!
gates, "yesss, with this Zune controller, my new cyborg, John Richards XP, will dupe millions of KEXP zombies into buying my porducts, yess, yesss yessss!!!"
john richards, (at right with "alternative hair styling")popular sell-out dj of lamely formatted kexp, gives up his reputation and good standing in the music community, by sending soul-crushingly dull "indie" song by hipsters death cab for cutie, to worlds most powerful man. all in the name of commerce. good going john!
"Bill, I tried to send you that song three times, but the frikin' browser on this thing keeps crashing!!!"
Oh how I miss long beautiful man hair too... and that aint it.
"'505 Gateway Timeout' again. WTF Bill?"
"Wait, all it can do is share DRM-crippled songs? That's the only thing you could think of to do with wifi on an mp3 player?"
#6, 7, & 9: right on.
Dear John,
While I know you work in radio AND probably haven't looked at your hair since your baby was born, please do consider getting a haircut. You don't want Bill Gates to have better hair than you. No, no, no...
Love,
One of the Morning Faithful. Always.
Bill: See, now my blue screen displays on your Zune!
John: You sent me an old Jon Secada song..
John Richards: MOTHERFUCKER!
Bill Gates: I am so motherfucking rich.
Don't hate the player, hate the game
Hey, Bill, how can you hear this killer track without your ear buds? Bud?
"What the fuck? I thought you said you'd copied the iPod to the last detail?"
I think John's mane is handsome. I will buy whatever magical music box his mane endorses.
John: I haven't heard of this band "Fatal Exception", but their video sucks.
John texting Bill:
"Dude I need a job. People are hatin' me somethin' fierce. They are also starting to discover that I take kickbacks from labels. There must be room for me at Micrsoft."
John: Ok Man, I posed for the photo op, I sent you the song, where's my $100?
Bill: Do you think I got this rich paying for things?*
*with apologies to the simpsons.
So Bill, as you can see by these numbers, Paul Allen coughs up 5-large every time I play They Might Be Giants. If you can zap me over another 3G's, I'm sure we can fit some Air Supply in the rotation.
Chris@12 made the only submission that LOLed me.
Bill: Hey John, I'm a computah! Stop all the downloadin'
John: BODY MASSAGE!
"Hey, I didd'nt know ipods came in 'suede' "
im in ur photo op
payin my bills

#1 kexp is great - I've lived around the country and we're lucky here
#2 kexp is listener-supported, and I bet a number of you above are listening but maybe one or two have chipped in
#3 we've worked with them on underwriting deals, and they're pretty sticky on what they'll say about your company
#4 john is a little precious, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt - he's not working at kexp b/c he's a corporate whore
If you're all so worried about john and kexp selling out, why don't you put your money where your mouth is the next time there's a kexp pledge drive or event. You're bunch of pretentious, self righteous hypocrites who need lives.

For the record, I am not hatin'. John doesn't know it, but he's probably helped me select 20% of my handsome CD collection.
But he looks like the guy from MASK in that hair. Just sayin.
JOHN: "Hey Bill, why is the screen showing an electronic funds transfer from my checking account every time I hit the "send" button?"
BILL: "Heh, heh!"
they didn't give out any zune players at the war room launch party last night. just crappy t-shirts, an open bar, and a whole lotta microsoft people wondering who the hell blonde redhead are.
John: "Is this compatible with my Apple? Cause that's where all my music is..."
"All your song are belong to us."
Bill: yeah, this Zune thing is all well and good, but to be honest, I'd rather be feeding starving children in Africa. Hey wait a minute... didn't I retire for exactly that reason? It's cold out here today. I bet it's warmer in Africa.
Bill--"I love the little reboot screen... "
John--"What the fuck? Again?!?!"
Bill--"I'm in UR Zune... Cripplin' UR songs!"
John--"Why did my mp3 just disappear?"
I think #32 wins it.
"What do you mean, I didn't send you no virus! It was a song!"
or
"Are you sure this is a feature, Bill, it keeps rebooting?"
iSuck
"The Free Software Song!?", you think your funny, here have some Barry Manilow.
John: "Can I call my crack dealer on this thing?"
"Bill, will this thing make my voice less annoying?"
