Really? People listen to broadcast radio stations? How quaint, how 20th Century.-Bet they wouldn't do those mashups /cuts if the music was truly original. Just my guess...

the "decreasing attention span" comment in the article doesnt ring true to me as teenagers can sit down for hours at a time playing stupid x-box etc and have the capacity to spend all day on FB and txt-ing eachother...
