Boo!!!!!

My favorite radio station in LA, Indie 103.1, has gone kaput. Now we have the choices of F$@#*ing Ryan Seacrest garbage, random 80s-90s"mix" music, a bad classic rock station, and whatever atrocious crap 98.7 is playing.

Indie was getting a little too big for its hipster britches, but they had a cool morning show host that was the bassist from the Vandals that was also a gun-toting lawyer. I liked him. They had Jonesy (Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols) hosting a lunch time show where he played crazy stuff I had never heard before and lovingly rambled on incoherently about thirty years in the music industry. It was an eclectic and fun station that always played something new and interesting.

But because Indie 103.1 wouldn't play Brit-Brit's new single instead of some good old Smiths or Arcade Fire or the Kills, Indie got the ax from its big corporate owner (screw you Entravision Communcations!!!!). Now they'll be playing "regional Mexican rhythmic and cumbia music." Dammit! Thank God I don't have to commute far anymore. This really blows.
