The return of decent broadcast radio to El Lay
 

I've mentioned this before, but we finally have a decent radio station again in LA, and for as long as it lasts, I will be celebrating.

It seems most all good stations in this market devolve into some form of pop. The Sound (100.3) had returned to a great mix of AAA and "deeper" cuts, along with DJ selected music (probably an insider term for this but I don't know it - ask The Last DJ).

Today, the are playing album sides. All the DJ's brought in their vinyl, and they're playing the whole sides.

And yes, I have satellite radio - but this rocks.

IMHO f course.

I like the "Vinyl Wednesday" concept. Listened to Warren Zevon's "Excitable Boy" and PF's "Wish You Were Here" on the drive in this A.M. I didn't know Mick Fleetwood and John McVie played on "Werewolves of London". You learn something new every day.

I heard the same two. Pretty cool!

Sorry to "hear" that. But since you're not in LA, you probably still have a lot of good music to choose from.

Bring back top 40...

Some may find thus pathetic, but while hearing the hiss and pop of vinyl, I realized I...actually...miss it. Sad!

I still have all my old vinyl... and Santa replaced my old turntable last year... I'm lovin' it.
