Dissecting radio...

A few things I've noticed:
I really love that what most would consider 'college rock' is starting to edge its way onto the rock radio plateau, specifically Modest Mouse and Muse. Both bands made it onto 89X's Hit List yesterday, and that made me feel good. If anyone noticed last weekend, 88.7 had a Moz giveaway, where listeners could win a copy of Morissey's new CD and a trip to New York to see him perform. It was clear that all of the jocks were the ones that wanted to have this contest - they were so enthused to talk about Morissey! To them, he's what 'modern rock' is all about. And hopefully, they'll work his new song into the weekend rotation. It's so good! WOXY is all over it so I've had a few quality listens. I think I'll have to buy the album.

Two songs I never thought I'd enjoy, but I find myself surfing the dial for - the latest single from Lost Prophets and "The Reason," by Hoobastank. I don't know what it is about "The Reason" but it's pure, it's simple, it's honest and very sweet. And Lost Prophets, well, they just rawk and make me tap my toe at the same time.

New iTunes purchases:
Mystikal - "Shake It Fast (they only had the clean cut)" and "Bouncin' Back" (Booty from the Franklin Street dayz)
Yellowcard - "Ocean Avenue" (I heart emo boys!!!)
Ben Kweller - "I Need You Back", "On My Way", "Believer" (OHMIGOD, I LOVE THIS GUY)
Modest Mouse - "Float On", "Bury Me With It", "Ocean Breathes Salty" (new album...possible new purchase...)
Totally schizophrenic, but totally worth it.

Have an outstanding Saturday...and for the record, I REALLY am pissed I missed out on Muse. Sounds like Emily had a very spiritual experience and that everyone was really impressed. I am NOT pissed about having to wait so long...that's crazy...

Laters!
