This one deserves to be included in that last potpourri of a post with the emoticon, because I’ve been listening to the station regularly for quite some time now without being turned off. While I wish there were a way to analyze the RDS information and filter out the Allman Brothers, Counting Crows and Matchbox 20, their eclectic playlist reminds me of hearing Heaven 17’s “Let Me Go” on KLOL. KLOL. What struck me as particularly effective are their album-side Wednesdays (or Thursdays, I forget); this generation who have their iPods set to shuffle, if they even remember the discs the MP3’s were ripped from, will never know the artistry of track arrangement, the bliss of discovering surprisingly good filler material before the hiss making up the remainder of the tape. Or being blown away as the needle abruptly came up at the end of Red Sails in the Sunset.
