Well, 99x in Atlanta is going off the air to be replaced by a Top 40 station. Damn. I've been listening to 99x for well over a decade now and was exposed to so many fantastic bands through concerts sponsored by 99x. The Marvelous Three, Foo Fighters, The Offspring, Live, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Cowboy Mouth, Lords of Acid, Eve6, Blink 182, Everclear, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, the list goes on and on. And even if my musical tastes match less and less with newer music, until a few months back I could listen to the Retroplex around lunch where they played The Clash, Velvet Underground, The Cure, New Order, The Ramones, and Bad Religion. But this morning all I get is 30-something jack offs talking about the bar scene, golf, and their fucking MySpace pages. I feel like I'm in the middle of a Lewis Black bit, because repeatedly shouting "Are you fucking kidding me?" seems the only applicable thing to do. |
