Play Some More Variety!

We have JACK out in LA too, and it's a pretty good alternative. I just kept hearing that same mix of songs on KRTH and after awhile I could predict what song was coming next! So I finally started a list just to be sure I wasn't crazy and sure enough, they played about 6 of them this morning.

Our one remaining rock station aside from one that's more oldies than anything else and very generic was sold, and changed suddenly to christian contemporary pretty suddenly during their 50th anniversary year. All the on-air people were let go, many after 20 years or more. The whole thing took maybe 2 weeks.

Bye WAAF....

So many rock hits from the 60s and 70s that get beaten to death on the radio. So many of them just need to be retired. Instead it's like they are grandfather in for life. Maybe I should start a thread called "Songs I Never Ever Need to Hear Again."

I'm talking to you Kansas and that "Dust in the Wind" dreck . . . .

The station I listen to now played that the other day. First time I'd heard it in a couple years at least.

I like it, but if we can bundle it with Bohemian Rhapsody.... I'd seriously consider it.

Or as one local station used to have in a bumper,

Those 45s aren't lost, someone hid them.

Stream KEXP, listen to WFUV

Well, that is one more nice thing about the internet -- as long as you've got a connection (and hopefully
headphones or earbuds, if you're somewhere in public, so you're not imposing your musical tastes on anyone else),
you can listen to just about any station in the world. We ventured down a rabbit hole while researching the career
of pre-War Canadian hockey broadcaster Gerry Wilmot several weeks ago and as a consequence wound up listening
to Euro-pop on a station from South Africa for several days...
