Wow. They'd been declining in quality a whole lot lately -- way too much disco, and not much creativity is choosing which songs from the fifties and early sixties to play -- but Cousin Brucie and Harry Harrison have been there forever.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think that last weekend another New York station, 95.5 WPLG, might have been experimenting with that Jack format. They had a "flush the format weekend" for Memorial Day, with all these advertisements about how they'd be playing "anything." Turned out it was a bigger selection than their usual playlist, but still just top-40 hits from the last 30 years or so. On that link, someone posted what 101.1 was playing for a few hours last night, and I heard several of those songs in few hours I listened to 95.5 last weekend.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When I was growing up, Harry Harrison was the top DJ on WABC-AM, which had a bazillion watt transmitter, and could be heard not just in NY, but up and down the Eastern seaboard. It was the most popular station in the country.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Holy shit, Jon! Congratu-fucking-lations! I had no idea there were impending nuptials! I wish you both much happiness, and I expect another FAQ of some sort in the future.
Also, did you ever write about your VM experience?

Hey, congratulations, Jon!
and I like MIA, although I suspect she's a bit of an arse IRL.

Are you ready to be strong?
I edited a piece a couple weeks ago by someone who went to an M.I.A. concert and loved it, then remembered that years ago, when M.I.A. was shooting a documentary of an Elastica tour, she tried to get the writer to strip on camera and was kind of aggressive and creepy and manipulative about it.

Yeah. I have a kind of knee-jerk prejudice against the world she emerges from; she's so obviously a product of the west london trustafarian style mag scene of the '90s that I find her whole refugee pose pretty risible. But the album rocks, and the piracy Funds terrorism mix is even better.
