*SQUEE*

In the midst of a pookiful music-sharing evening, we find that Flogging Molly is playing the Starland Ballroom, their only metro-area show, on March 9th. WE MUST GO!.

You should go, too.

ObCurrentSong: This band was apparently top of the charts both in the UK and the US, and I can see how that would be (except I'm surprised in the unusual show of taste from the masses). Why is it that I only heard them on Radio Paradise? Oh that's right, because NYC radio is UTTER AND COMPLETE GARBAGE.

We used to have KOME and Live 105 for "new rock", KSJO for "rock", KFOG for AOR, and K-FOX for classick rock (oh, and Alice for chick rock). KOME bought Live 105, KSJO turned into a Mexican oldies station, KFOG's corporate masters set up The Bone for classic and post-classic (`80s) rock, Clear Channel set up Channel 104.9 for new rock but then folded it a couple of years later.

In the meantime, K-FOX has been playing more commercials and less variety (which is death for a classic rock station), The Bone promotes the hell out of the retard morning show they picked up from KSJO's corpse, and KFOG stopped playing occasional fresh and daring stuff and instead settled into yuppie music hell. So there's only Live 105 left for any sort of decent and new music.

I bought my car from my sister-in-law and it came with XM. Once her subscription expired, it took me a day or two of FM radio to spring for my own XM subscription.

That is a considerable amount of ouch. (I was basing my analysis on the situation at the time of our honeymoon, which involved a lot of radio listening en route between wineries and resultant bitching about how we could not take all these stations back home with us.)

That being said, you've got one more decent & new station than we have. There is nothing, unless you can pull in obscure college stations, that plays interesting new stuff. We've got the Nu Metal Whiners Of The Week and the Poppy Diva Garbage, and that's it.
