The past couple of days they've been mixing in classic rock stuff. Gerry Rafferty's Right Down the Line was just on. Good song and all but that's not the the kind of thing i want to hear on this station. Earlier they played Fleetwood Mac. wtf.

I am forwarding this thread complaint to Jake Fogelnest.

There's some classic rock bands that indie rock types are trying to rehab the reputations of. Namely Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, and the Kinks.

I think it's cool, though I don't really like Fleetwood Mac.

I've also heard some hip-hop on there as well. It just depends on who is doing the show. Hipsterrunoff, Blog Radio, Grizzly Bear .. there's quite the range on that channel.

Probably one of my top go-to's along with Underground Garage, Alt Nation and Bluesville.

They've been going nuts on Grizzly Bear and no amount of exposure is going to make me suddenly like them.

They do have a tendency to over promote a new album and run that shite into the ground before it's even been released. Their darling that comes to mind before Grizzly Bear was Ariel Pink.

They stain the good name of bears everywhere. You think grizzly bears are gonna play some whiny mumbling crap that can't rock its way out of a paper bag? Bears demand the RAWK! Or at least something that swings.

Yeah, man. Fall apart, in my backyard.

I cannot even grasp the appeal to Grizzly Bear and I hate being that way with bands.


You would think Howard Jones was the only artist in the 80's when I switch to 1st wave or 80's.

WHY WHY WHY is he played on 1st wave? I can't think of a more misplaced act.

Why would the Kinks need their rep rehabbed? Or do you mean introduced to a new audience?
