So Long Alternative Radio

A long-time DC/Baltimore area radio station switched from Alternative (good) to Spanish Soft-Rock (bad) today. And, of course, they forgot to tell anyone about it. I guess it's hard to sell advertisement space when your demographic is aging hippies and punk rockers.

But it's still really sad. My man, Paul, says they were his favorite night-time radio station. And now they're gone.

Radio is a tough business, it would seem. But Paul and I have a long tradition of liking radio stations and watching them go down in flames. It can't just be coincidence, can it? All the best radio stations, the ones dedicated to great music (that you might not have heard of) fail and the annoying/commercial/pop-oriented keep going and going.

I, for one, blame the President.
