A volunteer at a community radio station in Austin, Texas set fire to the station because he was upset that his song selections were changed. Paul Webster Feinstein, 24, was charged with second-degree felony arson for the fire that caused $300,000 damage to the studios of KOOP. He faces from two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted. Feinstein told investigators that he was "very unhappy" about the changes to his playlist, which was intended for an Internet broadcast that occurs when the station is off the air. A fire official said Feinstein "had a dream of a career in radio and was very disappointed about where it had led him." Feinstein is a jazz fan and his Internet program was called "Mellow Down Easy." Station personnel said, "We knew there was a disagreement, but I would characterize it as a little clash of personalities over types of music to be played and not a big blowout. He seemed like somebody who was young, enthusiastic, had a life, was a professional and was educated." A fire official said that Feinstein poured gasoline on the control panels in two studios to start the fire, which was the third the station has dealt with in the past two years. The first was ruled accidental. The second was caused by a malfunction in a heating and air-conditioning unit of a nearby business. Feinstein's fire knocked the station off the air for 19 days.

Great way to end a career buddy. Good luck finding a job in any field with a arson conviction.

Don't tell me, let me guess. His choices were:

Fire-Pointer Sisters
Light My Fire-Doors
Burning Down The House-Talking Heads
Burning For You-Blue Oyster Cult
I'm On Fire-Bruce Springsteen
Smoke On The Water-Deep Purple
Disco Inferno-Trammps

Since they didn't play them, he decided to "burn that mother down."

Nice.
