This probably isn't anything the L.A. folk don't already know about but I don't listen to the radio unless forced and my buddy had it on this station around 10:30 PM or so and the guy played (among other good shit) Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, Slowdive and Electrafixion "Sister Pain". He then gave a pretty damn good summation of the events surrounding the formation, output and demise of Electrafixion. I was impressed, plus I don't care how many times I've heard a song on CD it's always special on the radio or TV when you're not expecting it.

Anyhoo

Something about a brother spinning the tunes or sending a sunbeam of mix music- songs sound fresh. . .

Indie definitely has its moments. Lots of good weekly shows, plus Jonesy's Jukebox.

Any station that has the Bunnymen, JAMC, the Pistols, Buzzcocks, Depeche Mode, the Specials and even T-Rex in rotation among the current stuff gets my ear :biggrin:

Even heard the Grateful Dead one morning ... Uncle John's Band.

One thing the college kids seem to be doing is playing pop 80s top 40 stuff in a way to be rebellious. Seriously.

It's a good station considering the amount of time Jonesy plays solos and rambles on incoherently about nothing.

aw, you don't like his schlubby bachelor brother-in-law routine? :smile:

I'm gonna miss him while he's on tour with the pistols this summer.

I think Jonesy is a really good guy and we're lucky to have him here in the states. I just don't like when DJs talk a lot. It's fine when he has guest bands on.

What really gets me are those stations that seem to need THREE :eek:

DJs (like 2 guys and one girl) blathering on and cracking stupid jokes.

Is Jonesy the dude who was pitching for the BMW dealership on air?
