In
this Question, I would particularly like readership response: how close
or far off are the FM airwaves to what you'd enjoy hearing most?
If what
we hear is too often interrupted with Van Halen and
Styx and such, shouldn't we speak up and let it be
known that we are being given a sore deal?
It just
seems that good music, the stuff we really want to hear, is not on the
radio often enough. An optimistic view could be that this might be simply
because we have not yet protested it. Maybe the disc-jockeys and programmers
are unaware of how many of us are ready for total new music programming.
Is
this what's wrong with rock radio? KLOS' Frazier Smith and Rodney Dangerfield.
KROQ,
KWEST, KLOS- they're all right SOME of the time. Rock has a
HISTORY now and countless subsets and styles; certainly a wonderful
format could be established. Presently, we can only expect to be intruded
upon by voices and musics that are obsolete. Heavy Metal is ok, but
not during the programming of cleaner, newer more technologically precise
music.
It irks
me that there is nothing more than 88.9 KXLU to listen
to. KXLU is a small college station run by students of Loyola-Marymount,
nothing more. But they have the sense to play the right music, their
format is right on because it is controlled by people who actually LISTEN
to the music. Thanks, endless thanks to KXLU for providing what so many
of us want and need to hear. I know your funding is minimal, and you
don't always have the latest releases right away, but when you have
it, you play it. I always hear amazing things from your station, it
is a relief to know that I can always tune into the best station in
LA. . . KXLU.
Goodnight
folks. See you later on, Rock on!!! EDITOR'S
