Wait a minute, man—so there's this kid from Massachusetts, right? Watertown, Massachusetts. And this kid's got a strict family, you know the type: God-fearin', nine-to-five workin', go to church on Sunday kinda folks. Well, you know how the story goes from there: kid lashes out, family gets real upset, and they ship the brat off to some prissy boarding school in some nowhere town so they can "keep their nose clean".
You think that kid's keeping their nose clean? Nah. Instead, that kid's skippin' gym to smoke behind the bleachers, giving out stick-n'-pokes, and puttin' on a radio show in their dorm. And you're talkin' to that kid.
Hey, how's it going? My name's Bennie, and I'm the host of this wonderful show that still doesn't have a name yet (shuddup, I'm workin' on it). I'm sixteen and a half (yes, the half matters), and I answer to just about anything: she, he, they... whatever floats your boat floats mine. I don't frickin' care.
What I do care about is music. It doesn't matter what genre, don't matter what artist: I love music, and I know you do, too. I also know that you frickin' hate this school, and sometimes you need a song or two to get through the day. So, send in your song requests, and I'll play 'em—no strings attached.
I'll get us started with the song that gave me my name. Comin' to ya from across the lake, here's "Bennie and the Jets" by Elton John.
OOC: hi guys, it's the mod here! bennie's my most recent bully oc, but i think he'll be very fun to write for... something about her attitude just has me excited. as mentioned in the intro, bennie uses all pronouns, so feel free to address them as you like; i'll personally alternate between he/she/they in the ooc notes.
as for interactions and rules regarding interactions, i'm open to just about anything; however, i do ask that you don't send or say anything sexually explicit, as bennie is 16. innuendos are fine, but anything too explicit is not. other than that, this blog follows the same regulations that i have on my other blogs: oc x oc and oc x canon ships are fine by me, and multishipping is more than okay! i love seeing what we can come up with!
if you've got any questions, either in or out of character, please don't hesitate to ask! :D
You absolute dear, if I can get you a record will you play it? I need it out there and you’d just be perfect!

Well, since you're offering and you called me dear... surreeeeeee! Why not? I haven't spun a new record in a hot minute, and my collection could always get a lil' bigger. Get a lil' more flavor, lil' more variety.
Whatcha got in mind, Dean jan? Hm? Somethin' wicked pissah?
Mmm, I'm usually out back behind the bleachers, but that's not a good place for a delivery. Mmm. Man, just meet me near the gates whenever you're ready. Not a lot of times when I'm not free, so I'm sure I'm easy to find.

So. What's your deal, hotshot? Music? Big deallll. Any cat worth their weight can stick on a record, ain't like it makes you any more special than the rest of us.
Play something that's worth listenin' to, huh? Stray Cats would be a good start.
(@newcoventryking)
When'd I say that it made me more special, huh? Never said nobody else could spin tracks, no suh; I'm just an annoyin' bastard about it. I like the sound of my voice.
But I also like the sound of good music, so you got me there. Startin' us off bright and early, requested by Johnny Boy himself, here's Stray Cats with "Rock This Town"!
What's up, Bullworth? Another day, another annoyin' voice comin' through the airwaves... same old same old. Am I right or am I right?
Anyway, I thought I'd get us kicked off with something inspired by recent events. If you know you know, if you don't, then you might want to pull your head out of your ass. Get with the times, damn it!
... Ahem. Anyway. Let's get this show started. Here's War.
What's up, Bullworth? Coming at you bright and early with some tunes meant to get you up and goin'... or at least up. What you do on your time is none of my business.
Let's stop wasting time and drop our first track. Here's "Come Out and Play" by The Offspring.
What's up, Bullworth? It's Bennie here, up bright and early just to keep you company. The things I do for you people.
According to Carmen jan we're looking at a dark and rainy day—a good start to any story. Unfortunately for us both, I don't got any frickin' stories yet. It's a wonder I stumbled outta bed and got this up and going in the first place.
Eh. I'll think of somethin' later. Until then, let's get going with Jefferson Airplane and their '67 hit "White Rabbit".
What is your HOTTEST music take. I mean Scorching hot.
People that refuse to listen to anything else but what they grew up with and say nothing is as good as that music piss me off. Used to get this allll the time back when in Watertown. It's the same argument every time:
"Music today has no substance and no meaning and the stuff back in my day was sooo much better!"
No, it wasn't. I listen to just about frickin' everything (I mean it, look at my records, I can prove it), but they'll say that and then request "Wild Honey Pie". What the fuck. I don't even think that's a hot take but my point stands.
Hope you don't mind a genre change, 'cause we're divin' headfirst into industrial metal with our next song. I dunno much about the genre, but Kieran jan asked so nicely, how could I say no?
Turning it up a notch, here's Ministry with "Burning Inside"!
Hey, hey, hey, happy Sunday! I know none of you are gonna be listenin' to this; maybe you're busy enjoyin' the rest of your weekend, maybe you're doin' some late minute work, which... knowin' some of you, I frickin' doubt it.
Regardless of what you're doin', I'm gonna be here, bangin' out the tunes—because damn it, Janet, it's my job.
... Okay, that transition was ass. Sorry 'bout that. Gotta iron out the kinks.
Here's "Dammit Janet" from Rocky Horror Picture Show!
