Static....

.. thats all thats on in Newport Beach . All day static... Hola !!!

LA Weekly article..

New LA Voice.org article

and a new blogging.la posting.

Almost forgot...

Wednesdays guest host was someone promoting a show on HGTV ... OOOOOH ... really Indie. Next up Martha Stewart !!!

Alternative != amateurism

Amidst all of this, the saddest things is that the people in control in Indie appear to think that Independent , alternative music means sloppy, crappy amateurism.
Listening to cretins like TK pretend to stumble over adverts ( you know dumbass either man up and say the swear word or edit it out completely ) you realise they hated the audience they had that made them noticed. TK is the epitome of the people they want. Pretend punks thinking they are, what they are not. The station was called "cool" because of the authentic music; Clash/Pixies/Ramones/Adolescents/Crowd/Husker Du etc. they played, not the KROQ/KIIS-Lite that is now on heavy rotation. Any band that aspires to Indie 103.1 is a pale,pathetic under-achiever trying to claim credibility from the bands that got the station notice. Losers !


( N.B. I had the largest number of pageviews yesterday and lavoice.org is seeing the same )

Me thinks they doth protest too much.

When you start a show late and have to explain to listeners which vast corporate network owns a station there may be some problems. Nice of Dave to say they would be screening calls though.

So thats the radio they want..

Turned the radio on at 9 this morning and listened for a bit.
So thats the style of radio that they want.
A disgrace.

More opinions ...

( listened to the start on a recording that i had to see if it started better and boy that bleep machine needed reset. After the first couple they didnt go to commercial so no lag.
You would hear the swearing then tick tick beep . Very strange )

Ha Ha Ha ! ! !

Ah look they are doing the guest dj thing that happened last year.

"Tuesday morning, I will be filling in for Dickie Barrett on Indie 103.1 from 6:00am-10:00am PST. Early mornings. Yuck!!!"

'Filling in for' ah so thats the newspeak.
