Kill the Mainstream

I hate the radio.

Lies. I hate most of the radio.

Fake DJs. Fake Music.

(I believe a 35 year old, married, radio DJ is genuinely in love with the new Gaga single... don't kid yourself)

The same five songs are put on shuffle. Really. 

I have resorted to three stations. 

Stations that I can believe in. Stations that can produce a first-rate radio program. 

90.1 - Pretty much NPR, with some local and flavorful things sprinkled in. You think it's liberal, I know. But really, its so much better than that. So much culture, so much information, for me it's the equivalent of cocaine. It will make you think, it will make you read, it will introduce you to music you never thought you'd like. 

90.9 - Community supported, commercial free radio. Not a single Gaga track in sight. Local indies, nationwide indies, old indies. And the best part, not a single repeat can be heard in a day. 

101.9 - Now, they play more mainstream. But mainstream alternative, classic alternative, and they have a good morning show. They are also obsessed with Disneyland. I'm sold. 

Anything else within the valley is deer droppings.
