Radio Sucks

Left Dallas Friday early evening and ran down to Houston to tour Rice Saturday morning. Nice campus, small, intimate, but a bit too much so. Not sure it's a good fit for the girl so relegated to maybe a third pick.

Pulled out of Houston around noon on Saturday (sorry fellow pelicanheads who I would have liked to have had a beer with) and headed over to NOLA for a Tulaine tour Monday morning. She really liked Tulaine and so did we so it's now tied for 1st pick with UT,

Pulled out of NOLA again around noon on Monday and got back into Dallas just before 8 last night.

Corporate radio sucks and has for a long time, I'd forgotten how bad it is.

20 hours of driving and I think I heard the same 30 songs every day on 20 different radio stations.

About 4-5 years ago I had to replace the battery on the Mazda so naturally had to redo the radio presets.

Started scanning and hit this new listener sponsored station KXT, 91.7 out of Dallas.

Listen Live | KXT 91.7

They were playing some really good stuff, lots of rare deep cuts, upcoming acts and local unknowns.

It's now and has been for years the only preset in any of our cars and the only time we change the station is when it goes out of range.

If you are tired of traditional radio and like hearing new stuff give them a listen.

If you are a single genre listener it's not for you but if you have broader tastes then you will most likely dig it.

It's a good mix to keep you listening all the time and since it's listener sponsored no commercials.

In the last hour they've played

B0RNS

The Stranglers

Passion Pit

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Dylan

Jamestown Revival

Leon Bridges

Faces

Even some Gogar at the top of the hour
