        I think all that's left for HM radio is 'Metal Shops' which
        run during the w'end.  WBCN, WAAF, and WHJY either used to
        or still do run these 'Shops' for a couple hours either Fri-
        day night or Saturday night.
    
        There was the 'Metal Shop', the 'Metal Zone', and one other.

    It's a bummer, but I don't think that there ARE any non-wimp radio
    stations in Co. Springs.  I sure haven't found any.  Correct me, if I'm
    wrong, or sympathize, if I'm right.

    	There's a college station on 88.9 in Lowell, I think. It's
    Emerson College's radio. Anyway, on sunday nights at 11, they
    had, umm.... I think it was called Heavy Metal from Hell or 
    something. It was a raw, serious, HEAVY/speed metal show. I heard
    a lot of bands like Motorhead, and Metallica, and also a lot of
    obscure, vicious metal bands, it's a great show put together by
    some serious metal heads. Anyone ever hear this program?

    The show is nasty habits.It used to be good but now all they 
    play is death speed metal.
    
    No Flames i have nothing against death metal,but not for 3hrs.

    	   Sorry, no HM radio in Houston.  This place is truely
    	a wasteland... nothing but top 40 and CW here.  Abandon
    	hope all ye who enter, for Houston is indeed Metal Hell!

    	Do you in the good 'ole U.S. of A. know about the radio situation
    in Britain??  It's rotten!
    	There are four national radio stations; 1 - mainstream mostly
    top40 stuff, 2 - middle of the road, 3 & 4 - classical and shit!
    	Then there are nationally owned local radio stations which are
    a mixture of the above four mostly the latter half.
    	Finally independant local radio, various stations up and down
    the country mostly catering to the top40 stuff but also
    classical/country/soul/etc.  But even on these stations there is
    a lack of good ROCK shows.  There are one or two good ones, but
    in the main crap.  National radio 1 probably has the best rock show
    of all, but it's only two hours long, 10-12 on a friday night (let's
    face it, who's in on a friday night).
    	It's not a good situation, I hope it changes soon,
    
    Keep rockin',

    P.S. the best stations DO NOT play Xxx Xxxxxx tracks.

    That's why tape decks were invented, I'm convinced.  Deep in heart
    of Dixie we got C & W out the ying yang and 2 top 40 stations. 
    Once in a great while if the cloud cover is right, we can pick up
    a couple stations out of NC, 107.9 and 99.9 that on rare occasion
    play a metal tune or 2 but that's it.  So between this and the junk
    MTV airs, I'm counting on you guys to keep me posted on what's
    happinin'.

    When I was in Raleigh, NC (about a year ago) there was a killer
    HM station that was outta NCSU.  Not a lotta power, so you couldn't
    be too far away.  By far the best HM on radio I've ever heard! 
    It was down around 87-88 on the dial.  Don't remember exactly. 
    There was also a punk and a classical station right in the same
    range.
    
    In case anyones buzzing through there.

                Nasty Habits  is  John  Marino's  show.   Emerson
                College is in  Boston, not Lowell, and he plays a
                great deal more than death metal.  You can almost
                always catch some Racer-X along  with  a  lot  of
                local music with some MacAlpine thrown in here in
                there, etc.
                
                101.1 (WGIR Manchester) also has a metal show now
                which is done by Mike Jones who used  to  do  the
                metal show at WERS before he took a job at 101.
                
                WAAF has a metal show, I don't know if  WBCN does
                anymore and  Lowell's  station  WJ??  I think has
                another metal show that's on twice a week similar
                to Nasty Habits.
                
                On my way to  Florida  this year, I drove through
                New York.  They had a 24 hour a day metal station
                there!!!!  I couldn't believe it.  Why can't they
                have something like that around here . . .
                
                

       WAAF, 107.3, Worcester-Boston is one of the longest stations 
in the area.  I like them because they play a large variety of music.  
They play anything from some light rock,  hard rock to Heavy head banging
music.   They have good show called ROCK LINE which is on Monday night, that
features everyone around.  This show is heard across the US and Canada.
    On Friday or Saturday night, they have "The Metal Shop".  This has
a count down of all the HM requests for the week!
  
    If you pull into the Worcester county area, put the digital read-out
on 107.3, WAAF.  They have the best morning show, best noon time work
force, bar and grill, Metal shops, Bay state rock and the Sunday Electric
Brunch!!!!

    In Colorado Springs KILO 94 is the only thing remotely close to
    a HM station. They play hard rock/heavy metal. If you live in the
    right part of the city you can also get 106.7 outta Denver and they
    rock sometimes but for the most part it isn't all heavy metal.

    soz I can rock with all my metal brothers and sisters"

    When I was in the Springs visiting a friend, KILO was the only station
    I could find that played the more metallic rock and roll.  Good
    station !

         I recently returned from a week in LALA land where I found
    the radio station we all have been looking for (this reply also
    addresses note 191).  KNAC, Pure Rock 105.5, downtown Los Angeles.
    What a difference from the drudgery we hear in New England.  No
    repeat songs during the course of the day, no Top 40, no "same old
    classics", nothing but heavy metal variety.  During the one week
    period I was there I heard metal that I had never heard on the radio.
    90% of the music were songs that were several cuts deep on an album
    (ie., not the usual overplayed single syndrome).  Hey Cookster!
    Imagine a Boston area station playing Maiden's Number of the Beast
    at 1:20 on a Wednesday afternoon!  Followed it up with UFO, Anthrax,
    Metallica, Guns n' Roses (Nite Train, not Sweet Child which is getting
    overplayed), Van Halen (I'm the One) and so many others that I can't
    remember right now.  My rent-a-car stereo never left this station
    (after I finally got my girlfriend to quit tuning to LA's sister
    station to Boston's KISS).  Why can't someone start a similar format
    in New England?  Too many stations have the same format as it is.
    I'm seriously considering on moving to LA just so I can hear a
    radio station that is not stale.  Maybe they get boring over a period
    of more than a week but judging by the variety they played I'm sure
    they keep the playlist non-repetitive and noncommercial oriented.
    
        I seem to be rambling but I was very pleased with what this
    station offered and am VERY dissappointed with the radio I hear
    in the New England area.  (Thank god for tape decks!!)  If you're 
    lucky enough to get to LA tune in to 105.5.  You won't be disappointed.

    re: .17
    
    	Yo Bomb,
    
    	   You have indeed discovered the Utopia of the airwaves.
    	I think we can all see the need for such stations in our
    	own areas.  How much money would YOUR radio station be
    	worth with a playlist described in .17?  Who wants to be
    	the first in your town to have the idea whose time has
    	definitely come?
    
    	-=[MOSAT]=-
    	(who wants to make millions by having the best station in
    	town)

                
                Someone I  know  from LA is out here now, and she
                tells me that  something  called  "Radio Lisa" is
                coming out here.  She says it's like a U.S.  wide
                chain of metal stations.   Then  again,  I  don't
                think  she's  ever  told the truth.    She's  now
                seeing  the bass player for L.A.   Guns  and  was
                dating  George Lynch about 2 years back (sure,  I
                wouldn't date her if you paid me, and bought me a
                gallon of pure grain).
                
                I'll  believe  it  when I see it, but in case  it
                turns  out  to  be true (for once), I thought I'd
                mention it.
                
                

    If anyone is EVER in Denver you gotta switch the dial to AM, yes
    AM. Then go to 1390 for Z-Rock. This station is the balls!!!!!
    They play ONLY metal, well every-so-often they play the Yogi Bear
    theme song. I'm convinced that they are the only station that does
    a top 50 countdown that starts with Stryper, Anthrax, and Slayer,
    then ends it with a cut off the new Metallica Album. Those who come
    out this winter BEWARE CUZ HM RADIO LIVES IN DENVER!!!!
    
    
    the devil dog who is gonna listen to Z-ROCK before the Scorps concert
    on Friday
    

    
    
    Z-Rock is on 1310 AM in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  It's seems like
    they broadcast from Dallas, but have local transmitters for a lot
    of different cities.  When they announce winners of contests it's
    from all sorts of places.  And it does ROCK, but doesn't come in
    to good around here.

    The top 5 at 5 is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!  I get bummed when I miss it
    always some good new non overplayed music to be heard!

    	For the BEST DJs (Tammy Heide, Bradley J., etc.)
    	        BEST music mix
    		BEST "speciality" shows (requests, metal, nocturnal

    		BEST new music
    
    I tune my bad self into WBCN. I think it "roolz"!
    
    I also like FNX, but no so much for heavy metal (except the metal
    show they have/had was HARDCORE!!! It was awesome!) and I haven't
    had a chance to give much of a listen lately.

On the drive into work:
1.) WZLX - Bill Smith - great DJ!
2.) WAAF - Karen and Drew - entertaining to wake up to
    WBCN - avoid at all cost - Charles plays about one song an hour

On the drive home:
1.) WBCN - comedy at 5:00
2.) WAAF - Top five at 5:00 (usually catch the top 3)
3.) WZLX - Traffic Jam - 4-5 songs from one artist at 5:20

At home:
1.) WZLX - good all around station - entertaining DJ's
2.) WBCN - night time DJ's are much better than daytime!
2.) WAAF - have problems receiving this at home - only during certain
           whether conditons!

    Jeez, when I was introduced to BCN three and a half years ago, they
    used to have the `HEAVY METAL FROM HELL'  on  Sunday  nights !  Now
    _THAT_ was a kick a$$ evening of descent music !  I was  introduced
    to Metallica and a few others that way.  How things change !

                WAAF used  to  be  a  great  station, back in the
                "Crank it up"  days.    The  DJ's were great, the
                music selection was great,  but  to  tell you the
                truth, I'll turn on WXKS  before  I  turn on WAAF
                these days (I kid you not).    WGIR  comes  first
                though.  On my way to the  Channel  tonight, they
                played Heart (Barracuda), Autograph, 3 Dio songs,
                Leppard, Styx  and  Zeppelin pretty much all in a
                row.  Couldn't believe it.

        WZOU or something like that.
    
        How long ago?  It was at least 6 years ago.
    
        I heard WAAF bought COZ out and didn't want 2 stations
        in competition, so they changed the format.

    I saw a great bumper sticker the other night.  It was on a car in
    the parking lot of Ralph's Chadwick Square Diner in good ol' Worm-
    town [aka Worcester].  It read as follows:
    
    		"Boycott WAAF:  Boston is NOT Worcester!"
    
    I met some of the DJ's from 'AAF a few years back, and me bein'
    a loyal 'BCN fan since 1970 or so, I told 'em that they all suc*ed
    co*ks in he*l (so I was a little blitzed)...I got thrown out of
    the bar we were in.
    
    Now I listen to whatever happens to have the best tune on at the
    time.  I guess you could say I'm a button presser.  Sometimes, when
    Chuckkkkk's talkin' I switch to 'AAF, ZLX, ERS, CGY, or shut the
    friggin radio OFF 'cuz "there was nuthin' goin' down at all".  I
    like Blues after hours and [oh my gawd] Eric in the Evening for
    a change of pace -- that's WGBH radio FYI.

    Next time yer in Las Vegas (Nevada), you should check out a station
    they have there.  It's billed as all metal, though some of the stuff
    I heard was borderline, but still excellent (ex: ZZTop, Who).
    
    I heard stuff there that I've NEVER heard on the radio and never
    expected to.  Examples include Metallica, House of Lords, Alice
    Cooper, MANY more.  The variety is good too, over about three days
    of off and on listening in the car, I only heard one song repeated!
    ("I'm Bored", sorry can't remember the band off hand).  There was
    NO DJ babble, and very few commercials.
    
    It's call letters are KRSR and they call it "The Crusher", AM 1140.
    BTW it's AM Stereo.

    Did anyone listen to Raw Power on WBCN (Boston) last night?
    
    It was the first time I've heard it this year. 
    They've got a new D.J. and she's good.
    
    In about a half hour, I heard
    
    Metallica
    Manowar
    Hades
    Meliah Rage (first time I've heard them, I'm impressed!)
    Anthrax
    Mass
    
    and a bunch of other great bands.
    
    Is it me, or does this show seem 100% better and more hardcore than
    before?
    
    I was psyched.

                I HEARD HER!!  What a JOKE!!
                
                She sounded  like  a  vally  girl, and was saying
                things like, "Well,  I  really  don't, like, know
                why people really like  this  ManOwar  stuff, but
                they, like, do really have  some good songs." and
                "that  was  Hawdes,  Haldees,  or  is  it  Hades?
                anyway, they are real good too." She kept talking
                about the show at the Expo and I'll  bet  $25 she
                wasn't even there!
                
                Someone SHOOT her!
                
                ARGGGHhhGHHHhhh!!!
                
                

    ...she said "and that was Manowar. I don't always understand what
    those guys are singing about, but they've got some good songs."
    She was referring to a song by Manowar in which they kept singing
    something like "we're gonna kick your ass" over and over.
    I couldn't figure out what the hell they were singing about either.
    
    	I didn't think she was half bad. She's a mosh-fan and I liked
    the segment on the unknown bands that I guess she's made a part
    of her show each week.

    I didn't hear this week's show, but if it's the female they've had
    before, it's Joanie Linstrom(sp?).  She used to and I think still
    does, either Breakfast of Champions or the Late Risers Club on WERS.
    
    I like her.  She usually plays stuff BCN normally wouldn't play
    during Raw Power, while straying from the pop stuff.

re .41
    
    Yo, that's her. 
    
    I LIKED the tracks she played.

    
    	While driving home last night, I started to scan thru the local
    radio  stations, and  came  across  90.1  FM. (WRUV)  It's  a small
    college radio station from UVM, and they were playing a show called
    `Molten  METAL  Injection'.  Everything  was  Heavy METAL.  Anthrax, 
    Slayer, METALLICA and so on.  I was DEFINATELY impressed !  None of
    the  other  college stations seem to play anything that compares to 
    what  I  heard last night.  Don't get me wrong. . .I've heard METAL,
    but not like the stuff last night !  
    
    	Definately  gonna'  have to listen to that station from now on !

    I hated that crap on AAF.  My stereo (if you will call it that)
    in the old Toymota has only one speaker working..  it pissed me
    off!!  I was ready to call up and say, listen dudes, alot of us
    out here have only one stereo speaker working, weather we blew one
    out, or just own a sh*tbox, so cut the crap!!  
    
    F.

    They played Tone-Loc (sp?) Wild thing and Van Halen (Jamie's Cryin')   
    one on each channel.. I think the loss of authority has drivin'
    them to the birds..  Hearing one DJ in one speaker and the other
    in the other speaker was too much for me.. 8-)  I pity the ones
    with mono radios!  8-)  o.k. it was funny!

                
                Ohmegawd!!!
                
                Huey and  Rush together???  Blasphemy!  I can see
                the people with  one channel blown having no idea
                anything strange was happening . . .
                
                Must have been funny, wish I had heard it.

They then started playing stuff that supposedly 'sounds the same'. A couple
examples were Boston "Don't Look Back" and "More Than A Feeling" at the 
same time, then John Fogerty's "Old Man Down the Road" with CCR's "Run
Through the Jungle".

It wounded really aweful, actually - I couldn't listen for more than a 
few minutes....

    I could just barely figure it out..  I knew something was deadly
    wrong though!!  It felt like I couldn't get in the station.. then
    I figured it out cause I could just barely barely hear the other
    dude talking..
    
    yuck, big time!!
    
    I don't need stress on my drive to work, thanks!!!!

    Left side was underground radio, right side was main-stream radio.
    It was a pain to listen to but I thought it was funny.  I would
    hate to have to listen to it every day though.

    	I thought it was pretty wild!!  Drew and Zip seemed
    	(Zip more, IMO) to notice that the people who liked
    	it were the people who were into "harder rock"...
    
    	I wouldn't be able to listen to it on my alarm radio
    	for instance because I can't adjust the balance from
    	left to right speakers, but in my car it was great!!
    
    	I didn't wanna hear the Clash, so I tuned it out and
    	went to the other speaker that was playing whatever
    	it was!

    I found out the times for WJUL's metal show.
    
    It's Thursday night from 6-10.  From 6-8 it's Metal and from 8-10
    it's Hardcore.

    Okay...maybe I missed it but..
    
    where is WJUL on the FM dial Bill?
    Hardcore! 
    Comes on just after I get outta school.
    
    /Motorbreath

    91.5 FM...
    
    It's Ulowell's station so you might have a hard time getting it
    in if you are too far from Lowell.  They don't have lots of wattage
    crankin from the place....
    
    The Rebel

    My fiend Ernie told me
    "hey Mike... I found this station I know YOU'D like...
    all they were playing was heavy metal stuff. It was 90-something"
    
    That must be it!
    Thanks Rebel!
    I'll see if I can pick it up on my home tuner, when and if I 
    ever get out of here.
    
    /Motorbreath

    That sounds great!  I haven't heard of anything that original in
    years.  I wish stations around here (Toronto) would try something
    (or anything) that might bring a laugh to the mornings.
    
    This reminds me of WRIF (Detroit) back a few years ago.  A couple
    of stations were having a `war' over who plays more music, and WRIF
    was playing 6 in a row or you could win $1000.  Well, the DJ played
    a commercial for `Marajana Helper' (sp?) and the co-host (Dick the
    Bruiser) went nuts thinking it was a real commercial.

Good news here!

RAW POWER, the HM show on WBCN, is changing shifts. Previously, it had 
been from 11:00-12:00pm on Sunday nights. 

No more!

Starting this week, Raw Power will be on Saturday nights from Midnight 
until 2am (you - TWO hours!).

And, just for the personal touch, I get to provide the opening song for the
new show - the import Queensryche EP that I have ('Overseeing the Operation')
is gonna be the first tune on the new show! Yahoo!!

    Got a listen to a Canadian radio station last Thursday (Not sure what
    the  call  letters  are, but  it's 90.3 FM.)  Talk about some SERIOUS 
    METAL  being  played !   WHOA !  It's  a  multi-style  station,  with 
    different  types  of music aired each day.  METAL from 20:00-00:00 on
    (I believe) Thursday and Saturday nights.  Definately  made my day to
    hear  ANOTHER  radio  station  playing  `Hard  Core METAL' to `Thrash
    METAL'. (Especially  in  the wilds of Vermont ! :^))  Ya' ever get up
    towards  Montreal, give  it a listen. . .if you go on those days. :^)
    In the mean time, I'll try  to  get a better schedule down for what's 
    played on what days.

    Well, rivet heads, we know where metal has evolved, where its been,
    but where the hell is it going? with such an over whelming amount
    of Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, and Donny Osmond on the air its damn
    hard to find a killer metal station. So metalheads suck up all 
    the albums, cassettes, and most of all CD'S and leave the radio
    to the jelloheads!

    In the retirement center of South Orange, N.J. the station to listen
    to is WSOU, 89.5 FM. Seton Hall (hey, I know that name!) Radio.
    Otherwise it's the metalshop on WNEW, 102.7 FM. New York Radio.
          Warning: On weekends, WSOU switches to ethnic music to please
    the masses. They also have Valgals for DJ's, at times.

    At night in Chicago,IL WVVX 103.1 Great station all night and great
    DJ's and great give aways. This station is highly rated and praised
    by many people.  I think they are one of the best HEAVY METAL bands

    WELL ALL YOU PEOPLE EHO ARE INTO EXTREME, THATS COOL. I had a chance
    to party with them one night after they were on Ian O'malley's show
    on WAAF they (nuno and gary) are pretty cool dudes I missed them
    in Mountain View, because I just transferred from Northboro
    to Cupertino but for any Ian O fans look for him in the near\
    future on MTV, he called me last night and told me that they
    called him up and they are interested in him. Also T.C. McGuire
    is going to Florida, Drew Lane and Zip are going somwhere else
    so if you want some good dj's you better send in your resume.

    With the management changes at local ( Worcester/Boston ) radio
    station WAAF, I was wondering what other people think of the 
    new UNTAMED radio station. I will startwith my goog and bad points.
    
    Good points--
    
    They seem to be playing more and more "metal" bands songs, moreso
    than they ever did. And they blend them together. 
    eg. Great White > Warrent > dangerous toys > WASP > Skidrow etc.
    
    Bad points--
    
    o   Don't like the unprofessionalism the djs possess.
    o   Too much enphasis on UNTAMED radio station
    o   No more top 5 at 5
    o   too many commercials now.
    o   no variety 
    o   no morning/afternoon/ or evening show 
    
    Result-
    
    Stick with WHJY out of Provy.
    
    

    
    
    	I'm one of those people who just keeps pushing the buttons
    	until I find a song I like.  Every now and then I listen
    	to WAAF.
    
    	I used to listen every night on my way home for the top 5
    	at 5....I miss that.  I haven't really had much time listening
    	to the DJ's to place an opinion.
    
    	But the NEW UNTAMED RADIO bit is overdone....they don't have
    	to announce it after every song....
    
    

    Maybe this would be best in the radio note, but I didn't want it there.
    Anyway, what are people's opinions (from Mass, South NH) about the new
    format at WAAF?  IMO, I don't like it.  It sounds too controlled. 
    Almost like a computer is running it.  2 songs, commercial, break,
    2 songs, etc... And what's the deal with "untamed radio".  I thought it
    was kind of cool when they first said it, but every other 2 words out
    of their mouths is untamed radio.  It's boring, repetitive and lame.
    Untamed weather, untamed traffic, untamed commercials.  Untamed
    boredom.  PLEASE!!
    
    I think that they are leaning towards harder rock now, as well.
    
    What do you think?
    
    Steve

    I like the fact that they seem to be playing alot more hard rock but,
    I miss top 5 at 5 alot!!  It was a chance to hear some good new music
    and something different to listen to on the way home.
    
    The "Untamed Radio" has GOT to go.....It is VERY irritating as you
    say to hear it every time the DJ speaks!!
    
    Rae

    The only thing about the news is that it's ten seconds.  It's the only
    chance I get usually to hear whats going on, and I get:  "President
    Bush... Governor Dukakis... and the Red Sox... and here's traffic"
    
    I miss the Top 5 too, because what's his name is on in the morning now. 
    Also, I miss the morning guys.  It was usually pretty entertaining.

    I've been screaming about this stupid format ever since it came
    to be. 
    It SUCKS!!!
    *THAT WAS JOAN JETT AGAIN ON UUUNNNNTTTAAMMEEED RRAAAYYYDEEEEOO!!"
    It's so incredibly lame, and annoying, like those car dealership
    commercials!! There are no personalities on that station anymore,
    it's impersonal, boring, grating, irritating (help me here with
    some more adjectives).
    	The station has no character anymore. 
    	I'll stick with BCN for rock, and just click there occasionally
    to see if there's a good tune on.
    
    /UNTAMED Motorbreath!!!!!!!!!!!

    AAF has been unruly annoying for years...what's new?

    
    	The bottom line ... buy tapes and CD's and play 'em in
    	your car.  Make "Greatest Hits" tapes using all your
    	favorite songs.
    
    	You are the DJ, and u pick the songs u wanna hear.
    
    	"Untamed Radio" IS annoying ... it's mentioned too many
    	times.  The "Top 5 at 5" was great, and now it's gone ...
    	so we can't even hear what everyone else likes, never mind
    	what we ourselves like.

    	I hardly ever listen to the radio ... besides, my FM recept-
    	ion is going down the toilet as of late.  Oh well ... do I
    	sound like I care?  I don't.
    							GTI

    
    	I miss the top 5 at 5...
    	
    	The "Untamed Radio" s**t HAS to go....I'm getting really
    	sick of hearing it...
    
    	They do play alot more songs that I recognize though....BUT
    	IF I HEAR "LET'S PUT THE X IN SEX" BY KISS ONE MORE TIME...
    	It seems like every time I click it to AAF *that* song is
    	playing...I used to like the song.....but it's getting
    	obnoxious now....
    

    Oops!!
    I can't believe PRC has a note set-hidden!!!

You too, eh? I still have my Rock and Roll Air Force pin! Ahh...the good olde 
days....

As far as untamed radio goes, its a joke. The stuff they are playing seems 
actually to more tame than ever! Its like Top40 radio, just with rock instead 
of disco. Bleck!

Back to 'GIR and 'HEB, I guess (not much to choose from up in the sticks of
NH...)

cat

    'GIR and 'HEB are pretty good, and now they're great compared to
    Completely lame WAAF.  I never wanted to listen to 'BCN because their
    signal sounds terrible - really muddy, and they're just cocky.  KISS
    108 is looking better and better. EEEEEEWWWW!!!
    
    Steve

    
    	And how about Andrew Wolfe from who-knows-how-many-years-ago,
    	the guy with the British accent?
    
    	I loved his voice, and then I think he went to KISS 108.
    
    							GTI
    

    I hate that guy's voice, and I believe that he's the station
    manager, or some other business position on WBCN.
    
    /Motorbreath

    
    
             Yup the untamed crap has got to go. I'll stick with WHJY
        in providence. Didn't AAF put out a yearly fire works show?
        The station is starting to sound TOP-40, especially the dj's.
        We should write to them, and tell them to smarten up..
    
              Doug..

	Do they still have "Get the Led out"?  That was the best thing they
had going.  I too miss Bob and Zip, God's weather, "Just a Big Ego", "Ignorant
Man", and remember "Go on, kick the football Charlie Reagan"  "Oh no, Lucy
Cherenkov...".  Sigh.

	For the time being, they still have a button on my car radio, but that
is subject to change.  It seems that every time I hit that button, their playing
that abomination of "Radar Love" by Bon_Great_White_Lion_Snake_Jovi or whoever
the f**K!  Click.

                I remember that.
                
                - Rob  who  still  has  the  original  blue short
                sleeve WAAF "Crank  it  Up"  T-shirt (though it's
                not in the best of shape -
                
                
                ...  Then later  came  the  glow-in-the-dark ones
                ...
                
                

    
    Where is he?
    
    Has anyone heard where Ian O is at? he still lives in Shrewsbury
    
    but is he on the air anywhere??
    
    Jus curious

    Heard Ian O took a job with MTV as a V-Jock
    

    SO, if you don't like it.. call them up and complain..
    I did.  That is the only way the "problem" will be corrected..

    Is there a way to print this whole note?  I should do that, if someone
    will tell me, and send the whole thing in.  That'll fix them but good.

    EVERYTIME I turn on WAAF that song is on lately and I laugh thinking
    of you.  I stoped on AAf around 5ish last night guess what song
    was on?? Then again around 8...hmm guess was song was on??  I hope
    they lose that record/cd/tape whatever media it is on SOON!!

    Karen took off quietly.  She didn't want anyone to know.  I thnk
    it was her second-to-the-last-day when it slipped out on the air
    that she was leaving.  She did go to New York to work for a top-40
    station.  I wonder if she ever went to the inaugural(sp) ball?
    
    Chris D.

    There used to be a morning team on WAAF that moved out here to Phoenix
    and are doing their show for a Top 40 station now.

    butchaka, I don't remember them.  My WAAF days ended when I moved out
    here in '80.  My sister, who is out here on vacation, says they use a
    lot of the same material.  They are popular here even though they 
    "sold out" to Top 40.

                There was  one DJ back in the Karen days ..  Lana
                Jones or something  like  that.   If I've got the
                right person, she did  a  charity mud-wrestle for
                WAAF several years ago, and she was pretty nice.

    	Who was the 'bcn jock that appeared in Playboy???
    
    	I never heard of this.  Must've been Tammi Heidi.
    
    	joe.

                
                I don't recall to tell the truth, but it ust have
                been about 2  years  ago when they did a write up
                on DJ's around the  country.    It  wasn't  Tammi
                Heidi.  She used to  do occasional appearances on
                TV  for  drinking/drugs  commercials  (where  she
                looked pretty bogus I might add).

    I would like to see some of the Women DJ's to see if they match
    up with their voices. Most of the WDJ's sound like they are foxes.
    And I do remember Lana Jones' voice. She sounded HOT. But I never
    did see what she looked like.
    

    Nine times outta ten the voice does NOT match the image of the
    face/body you have in your mind.
    
    Rae

                
                If they  didn't  sound  good,  they  wouldn't  be
                hired.  It's probably the main basis for hiring a
                DJ.

    	All this talk about Karen Grace has made me ill....she's got
    to be one of the most stuck up...conceited...always right knowitall
    b*tche of all time.  She made a wicked error on the air and when
    I called her to explain that she was totally wrong she got all egoed
    out...I'm never wrong type of stuff.  The deal was...the day after
    that wonderful Geraldo show about HM and Satan....she was playing
    the intro to number of the Beast..by Iron Maiden...and as we all
    know ...(or should)..the intro to that comes from the book of
    Revelations.. she went on and on about how "Satanic" it was and
    what garbage it was.  So I called and told her that if she had done
    a little reading on the back of the album she would have seen the
    chapter and verses it was taken from...and she wouldnt sound so
    ignorant...I dont think she liked my constructive criticism...

    RE: Rob...
    
    	A couple of replies back you said you saw Tammi on TV doing
    drinking/drugs commericials and that she was pretty bogus.  I had
    always heard that she was a "wicked foxy American babe", that's
    why I figured it would have been her in Playboy.
    
    	joe (who still thinks the voice at the beginning of "Love In
    An Elevator" sounds just like Tammi).
    
    P.S.  Did you know that Cat Stevens (barf, gag, puke) married a
    stripper from The Intermission lounge???  I saw her when I turned
    18 (used to be the legal drinking age) -- real cute and quite a
    show with the hand creme... ;^)
    
    BTW, Cat Stevens is now a devout Moslem and is probably looking
    to kill Simon Rushte (sp?) who has totally disappeared.
    
    Joe's joke of the day:  Did you hear about Simon Rushte's new book?
    
    	It's called "Buddha Is A Big, Fat Slob"

    
    	You mean *THE* Intermission lounge in Boston?
    
    	My uncle used to own it and I worked there. Now, that was a
    	great job :-).

    Yes. *THE* Intermission Lounge in The Zone.
    
    	You might have been working the night I was there.  There was
    some kind of mellow jazz combo playing in the back someplace while
    the dancers disrobed...

        I thought Drew and Zip were okay, but I thought of them mostly as
        Zoo and Drip.  They weren't as good as Bob and Zip.  
        
        Dwayne Engles Glasscock on BCN affects me like fingernails on a

    Re: .69
    
    WMBR 88.1 (MIT's station) has at least two thrash shows.  Their
    times were just changed, though.  "Hell Comes to Your House" used
    to be on Tuesdays from 8pm-10pm.  It's now on Mondays from 4pm-6pm, 
    just in time for the commute home.  It might be moved again, but 
    this time to Wednesdays from 12pm-2am.
    
    "Sick Packages" used to be on Wednesdays from 8pm-10pm.  That has been
    move to Fridays from 8pm-10pm.
    
    
    Paul
    
    

    I like some of the new format at least they are playing more metal but,
    some of these phrases they're always saying are corny.  what are they
    trying to prove.  The worst phrase yet that I've heard is "If your not
    cranking it your yanking it!" Who thought that one up?!  Also, I'm
    pretty sick of hearing the same songs over and over and over. Like
    Kix's "Don't close your eyes", How many times a day to they play that? 
    If you listen to WAAF then, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. 
    Also, I miss all the old dj's.  The new ones are not the same. 
    Aggravated - Kim

    These are what I hear ALL the time on Waylame:
    
    Kiss' - Put the X in sex
    Anything by Joan Jett
    Bonham's - Wait for You
    Kix' - Don't Close Your Eyes
    
    and a lot of Powerstation lately, too

    Call and complain!  617-931-1577?

    
    	Power Station?  Like "Bang a Gong" and "Some Like It Hot"?
    
    	How come I'm never listeing when they play that stuff?
    
    	All I hear is "Let's Put the 'X' in Sex" (as has been
    	mentioned) ad a couple others EVERY TIME I turn that
    	statio on.

    And I was wondering if that song got re-released!
    
    I don't care for that kind of music anyway, so in my mind
    its seems to me as if there saying, "hey, look at us, 
    we're cool!" but its like, so ridiculous.
    
    The new DJ's are awful and they all sound the same!!
    
    F.

    Hey, it still s*cks! but it has improved!
    
    I scan the radio alot during my commutes and I find myself stopping
    at 107.3 more and more.  When it comes to DJ's BCN kicks ASS!
    
    I still find BCN and CGY both much more UNTAMED!

                I was  listening  to  Rock  101  this morning and
                heard  a prerecorded  message  from  the  station
                manager saying something like:
                
                We thank all of you who have listened to 101 over
                the past 10 years, but at XX o'clock on YY, 1989,
                Rock 101 will officially be going off the air.
                
                Anybody know why?  The station sold or something?
                It's too bad 'cause I really liked  101,  and  it
                was just beginning to get very popular.

                Okay, just  called  the  business  line  at WGIR.
                They are NOT  going  off  the  air,  but a lot of
                changes are being made (sound familiar???) at the
                station.  I asked if  there was a new format, and
                was  told,  "I  don't  know.   Nobody  is  saying
                anything.    The  changes  will  be announced  on
                Monday at 6am."
                
                This woman sounded very glum...
                
                

    Oh boy, another KISS 108.
    
    /Motorbreath

    
    Oh Boy, I can smell another untamed radio coming!  That's really
    a bummer 'cuz Rock 101 is one of the last ones left.  Looks like
    the tape player is going to be getting a real good work out from
    now on.
    
    Mr. Ed

    ALL RIGHT!!  Who's the OTHER Chris in MRO that listens to WAAF and
    got his name mentioned on the radio today at ~11:30???
    
    Chris D.

Boy, am I p*ssed off!!!

It turns out that all that worrying was for nothing - WGIR is not changing its 
format at all. It turns out that in order to celebrate its 10th anniversary 
(today), it has "become a thing of the past". All of which means that they are 
playing songs from 1979, and retelling the news stories of the day, etc.

No big deal.....

alan 

P.S. The leading story in rock and roll 10 years ago? The Who played in 
     Cincinatti....  8^(

    
    Thanks,
    
    I was really a little confused when I heard them saying that today
    was a thing of the past and hearing the different format.  One not
    said that they were changing for good.  I'm glad they're not!
    Definitely one of the last good radio stations around here. 
    
    By the way, does anyone know the hours that "Nasty Habit'z" is on,
    I know it used to be 11pm to 3am on Sunday, then it was 11pm to
    2am.  Last night I turned on to 88.9 at 11:30 and it was jazz city!
    Then when I turned it back on at 12:30 it was nasty habit'z again!
    Whats the right hours? 
    
    By the way Pete, send those guys a tape, I called last night and
    apparently I'm not the only one they have heard from.  But they
    have nothing to play, and they are willing to.  Get that tape to
    'em!  Get some Golgotha on Naty Habit'z!
    
    Mr. Ed...evil man see as evil man do!

    
    Re: Mr. Ed
    
    	Last I heard was 12am-3am for Nasty Habits.
    
    
    Paul

    
    These guys are truly hit bottom, they played Ton-Loc's Funky Cold
    Medina last night.  I immediately erased preset #3, no longer is
    WAAF..in my vocabulary.  I am pleased that the Rock 101 thing was
    only for the day and not a permanent format change.  Thought it
    was pretty cool, had alot of us fooled.  I agree, WBCN is still
    the best, thats why it got best radio station of the year last year!
    
    Mr. Ed...Wish WERS was always playing Nasty Habit'z, 24 hours!

    God no.
    
    The end of the world is truly near.
    
    See ya preset channel 2, number 5!

    
    	Yeah, I heard that ... and I forgot to mention it here.
    
    	I like the song, but it's NOT what WAAF should be playing.
    
    							GTI
    

    
    
    
    They must think it meets their format.
    
    	After all the song DOES feature samplings of both KISS and

    Too bad we couldn't get KNAC out here in Boston!  Great radio station
    that knows how to rock!
    
    Mr. Ed...the tape collection seems to be getting alot more use!

    Yeah, Ed!!
    
    PURE ROCK 105.5!!!
    
    That station ruled!  When I was in LA, anyway.

    I also forgot this part...
    
    How do you know it's going to be a bad day?
    
    I'll tell ya:
    
    The alarm clock comes on (as if that wasn't bad enough) and I hear:
    "Got a picture of your house..." At which point the clock somehow fell
    off the table.  :-)
    
    Then, after the 9 minutes I have to snooze, it comes back on and I hear
    that Fiona nonsense...9 more minutes...two idiots babbling about
    something stupid...oh yeah, it was birthdays.  9 more minutes...and I
    hear some Zeppelin...no, my mistake, it was just Boneham.
    
    Then I just turned off the radio and got out of bed.  It's raining.
    What a day.
    
    Steve

    
    
    We need an East Coast KNAC!  I think it would be the hottest station
    on the waves.
    
    By the way, who the f*ck are those two dweebs on in the morning?
    Can they put any more reverb into their voices or what!?  What a
    waste of good radio frequencies!
    
    Mr. Ed...Thank God for the invention of the cassette!

    re. 86  I know what you mean.  They couldn't have picked two worse
    people for their morning show.  I can't stand them!!!!!  I HATE THE
    WHOLE SET UP THEY DO IN THE MORNING!!  Like the "dreaded oldie".  I
    tend to dread listening to that station entirely now!!! - LOSERS!!!

    Since this is the note with all of the focus at this point, I just want
    to know if anyone knows phone numbers to any other stations besides
    WAAF.  I need to find out about tickets.

    	Well... at first I completely despised WAAF's new 
    'AAAAHHHH UNTAAAAYYYMED RADIO!!' format... but since
    they've tamed the throat-cramming of that slogan, I've noticed
    that they play MUCH HARDER stuff than they ever did. Kind of 
    reminds me of how WCOZ used to be. Keep in mind that I don't
    usually listen to the station (usually tapes) but when I do
    lately, I like what I hear.
    	Of course the stupid sayings they have now, and the
    moronic billboard (which is quite nice, but slightly sexist and cheap)
    are still there...
    	but the music is much better!
    They even play the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Higher Ground" daily!
    
    /Motorbreath

    
    
    Well, the station in San Jose KOME 98.5, has turned to the 
    same slogan "The last untamed radio in the west" and I almost
    thought I was listening to AAF again. But they still play
    kick *ss R&R. The main DJ's name is Dennis Erectus...Get it?
    
    
    Another slogan is...
    
    "Don't touch that dial, it's got KOME on it"!
    
    Gerry

    
    
      "If your not cranking it, your spanking it"
    
                 where do they get these????

    Spanking it, yanking it... what's the difference??!
    
    The only one that makes me smile goes something like 
    "tune us in, and tear your clothes off" I guess I'm regressing.
    
    /Motorbreath...who wishes he could remember things as well as
    R.Rothberg

    guess there is no difference.

    
    	Personally I like them to play an entire song.  They've been
    going EDIT mad lately..chopping solos.....endings...it sux!
    
    BK
    

    Hmm...I heard Sweet CHild o' Mine this a.m. and they didn't
    play the edited version.
    
    /Motorbreath...I hate edited songs

    It's really annoying.
    
    WAAF cuts out the slow parts, like the beginning of Sweet Child, and
    KISS 108 cuts out the guitar solos.
    
    It's so annoying.
    
    Steve

    AAF cuts off endings too!
    
    More reasons I can't figure why they played Kiss & Tell!

    >>  I've never heard WBCN edit anything....
    
    They *DO* have a tendency to re-write entire songs though !!!!
    
    I hate when they do that !!!! ;-)

    
    	WAAF cut off the end of "I Remember You" the other day....
    	irritated me to know end....I love the scream at the end!
    
    	One thing that irritates me about most radio stations is
    	they talk through the instrumental beginnings to songs...
    	makes it impossible to tape a whole song from the radio
    	cuz the DJ is talking through half of the d*mn thing!
    
    	

    
    
           Another song WAAF likes to chop up is radar love by white
          lion. They edit out the middle. The drum solo, and the guitar
          solo..

    You guys are lucky that you get ANY new rock.. :-)
    There is one rock station down here, and all they play is classic rock,
    not that there is anything wrong with classic rock, but I never get to
    hear *anything* new.  I won't complain anymore about WAAF, because
    I really miss it.  ;-)

    They always cut off the enitre end of The Chambers' Brothers "Time

    Dan's "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," etc., etc.

>    I've never heard WBCN edit anything...

I've heard them cut out the last part of Neil Young's "Rockin In A Free 
World". Its the part that says stuff about 'a thousand points of light for the 
homeless man, a kindler gentler machine gun hand".

IMO, its a total wimpout move, especially considering their history of taking 
sides in political arguements.

    You guys should be thankful that you have the likes of AAF, BCN, etc!
    
    Flip

    I heard them cut the end of "I Remember You" too, and I was pissed!! 
    The end of the song is really what makes it cool.  It just builds it up
    so much, and then they cut it out!  I was like, oh.
    
    It's kind of like *almost* getting laid.  No, actually, it wasn't like
    that at all, but you get my point.
    
    Steve

    I'll third the fact that they cut out the end of I remember you... I
    like that part, cuz you ever try and sing that scream?  It's like you
    need to hold it for 6 bars!!  They have faded that ending EVERY time
    I've heard it on Untayyymend Radio!

Hey Rob, at first I was also ticked off (not just at WXKS, but all the 
stations that play it). But I picked up the CD over the weekend, and the album 
version ends right there. I guess its only the remix and the full-length video 
that has that extra part added on.....

             What is this Z-rock 50 thing. Is it a countdown of metal
            songs? I kind of like it. It makes sundays a little more
            less boring. Does anyone know anything about this. I hear
            it on WHJY. I guess it is like the American top 40, but
            for heavy metal. It's on abetween 7:00 and 11:00 P.M. They
            finally made sundays a livable day, The songs they play
            are good cruising songs..
    
    			Doug..

    Whenever I am in Denver I listen to Z-Rock, best station ever. On
    Sundays after a Bronco Game or Drill Weekend I get to hear the Z-Rock
    50 with "Mad" Max Hammer. 
    
    "We don't break for wimps!"

                Just wondering,  'cause  my  friend's  uncle  has
                literally  hundreds  and   hundreds  of  remixes,
                extended versions, dance versions  of this stuff.
                I  have  some  great tapes  my  friend  made  and
                everyone asks, "Where do you get  all  this remix
                stuff?" Got me.  My friend say  they  buy  it  in
                Boston  and  they  use  their  uncle's  recording
                studio to  make  tapes,  but  these friends can't
                afford  to  pay   attention,  nevermind  purchace
                hundreds of albums.

                What's with this Pirate Radio stuff WAAF is doing
                now?  Are  they broadcasting via satellite the CA

                didn't they pick KNAC??   Oh  well,  even all the
                'lite rock' is better than listening to Tom Petty
                sing 'Take back Eddie Murphy' (why does  he  sing

    I think the whole thing was a HUGE SCAM.  He's got a perfect radio
    voice, pretty coincidental if you ask me.  I was listening to him
    Friday I think.  And for some Joe Smoe off the street he didn't mess up
    a h*ll of a lot.  Also, for some guy that really needs a job where did
    he get the money for a Billboard.  Those things must cost big bucks to
    advertise on.  This whole thing is a liitle fishy to me. - Kim

    
    I dunno Kim.   It is rumored that he had a pretty good job where
    ever he was and moved to MA because of a GREAT job oppty for his
    wife.   A seven day billboard rental might be a few hundred bucks.
    
    He does have a pefect DJ voice and does seem pretty at ease on the
    air.  His first solo show is today at 2.  
    
    One will never know if it was a scam or not.

    	Well in the Local Worcester rag they had a little write up about

    could not find a job in the area , so he rented a billboard asking for
    a job and he found one !

    AAF came clean this morning.  He is about as much of a draftsman as
    any of us are.   He was a DJ where ever he came from but the rest of

Excellent station.  I've been listening to it and like it MUCH better
than FNX, but I can only get it in the Marlboro->Worcester area.

    	BRU is pretty supreme.  I definitely listen to it over FNX.
     Much better vairety of college type music, with better hosts, IMO.

    College-type music...you?  I *never* would have guessed it Sean!
    

    WBRU is the only station I listen to now.
    	I hate AAF, I hate BCN, I hate ZOU, I hate  I hate I hate
    (but most of all, I hate you!!! - Overkill)
    They play the same music over and over and over and over...
    radio music in general seems so boring.
    
    	I like BRU's show on Tuesday nights... what's it called?
    They play music by one band only, usually live from what I've
    heard. I heard RHCP in concert a couple weeks ago. U2 was the
    other night, they played some obscure stuff. It was great.

             In my 15 and 3/4 years of life I have comr across these stations 
  or shows which are fairly cool:


             Obviously WAAF is the best all around.107.3 Worcester

             In Lowell there is a radio station called WJUL that has a rippin'
            metal show called Metallic Mayhem on Thursday nights 6-10pm.
            That's 91.5
        
              WBCN has a semi-weak metal show "Heavy Meatal From Hell" formerly
            Raw Power and sometimes they got cool stuff. That's Saturday nights
            12-2am. 104.1 Boston.
     
              WUNH has an awesome metal show Monday nights 11-2am. With a metal 
            LP-complete at 10pm. That's 91.3 Durham, NH.
 
              There's WHEB in Portsmouth, NH that has a weak metal show Friday
             nights 12-1am called the Metal Zone. That's 100.3fm
 
              Oh, yeah the WUNH show is called the Metalstorm.

              Way up in Portland, Maine there's a cool station called WBLM
              that plays some cool rock stuff but doesn't have a metal show
              that I know of. That's 102.9

              In Tulsa, Oklahoma there's the awesomest station: KMOD 97.5
              They play the coolest stuff, at lest for a regular station and
              as far as I know has a metal show Thursday nights 11pm-12am
              called Metal Shot.

              There are plenty of other cool stations like WHJY and "the Hits"
              97.7 in St. Catharines, Ontario, but that's my extent of knowledge

The BLIMP (WBLM) out of Lewiston is a cool station.

There is one in Charlotte NC thats cool too, but I bet y'all can't
receive that...

;)

WBLM (The Blimp of Rock and Roll) has been rockin' Portland for years - its a 
pretty good station. It used to be up around 106 or 107. However, last fall 
they changed their frequency, and they are now located at 102.9.

They also increased their power to 100,000 watts, making them the most 
powerful FM station on the east coast! You can hear them all the way down to 
the South Shore! 

alan

I dunno the call letters but it's 95.7FM.

Man, they even play Metallica on there.  

jc (Who gets to listen to f%%&%&$ clapton everyday here)

    	WBLM used to be 107.5 Portland, ME.  It had around 50,000 watts.
    It's a really really good station.  Great personailities like BCN
    and a great variety of rock music.   It's now 102.9 and they doubled
    their wattage. When I drive to Maine (like I'm doing tonight 8^), I
    tune it in around the Lowell Connector and never have to change the 
    station again.  8^)

     Last Saturday, my daughter was babysitting a 4 year old at our house.
They were sitting on the parlor floor coloring while listening to WAAF.
The DJ was talking, then he says" Hello, Hello, can anyone hear me?  If 
you can hear me, put your finger in your nose."  5 seconds later, the 4 year old
looks at my daughter and says "Well, put your finger in your nose."  My
daughter says "No, I'm not going to put my finger in my nose."  The 4 year 
old says "But he said to."
     This was so funny I couldn't stop laughing.  She was so serious and
thought that my daughter should have done it.

Well, I've been saying it for a while, but I just got confirmation last night:
WCGY (93.7 FM) is definitely the best station in Boston right now! 

They've added FAITH NO MORE "Epic" to their rotation! Yowza!!!!!!!!!!

alan

    re.266
    I first heard "Epic" on MY favorite station in the universe,
    WBRU 95.5 like 2 months ago.
    
    /Motorbreath... CGY is a cool station

They're probably just playing it because MTV is.  Just shows another point 
in favor of the "a band can't get popular these days without a video" argument.
There's no such thing as radio program directors anymore, MTV controls the 
airwaves.

    Z rock. Yeah, I know they stole K rock's logo, tough! This station
    plays nothin' but rock! Right now I'm listening to the third Satch
    tune in a series.

    I don't know if anyone ever made it to the Long Beach area in

    radio doesn't melt in about thirty seconds or so you've got the wrong
    station!!!! Nothing but metal, metal, and more metal. Like their promo
    says, " its the station your nieghbors listen to... wether they want to
    or not!!!"

    NOT have this check for Christmas.  Believe me.

    I just have to b*tch about Z-rock lately.  Seems like every time I turn
    it on I hear Bon Jovi or Warrent (I Saw Red).  I think they're headed
    down the tubes like all the other stations.

    re .280
     I was refering to Z-rock

    I donno if it's my timing or what, but I'm sick of hearing that wimpy
    gunk.  I could listen to the pop stations if I wanted to hear that! 
    
    ...but everytime I hear "I Saw Red" I get this incredible compulsion to
    smash my radio, so for the benefit of my car stereo, I have to change
    the station immediately.  
    
    re: Shawn
    
    You must be nuts, I love "Money Talks"!  I'd rather hear it for an hour

    note, so to him this is not the best of a bad choice!  Arf arf.
    
    I must admit that I have seen the vid for "I Saw Red".  Fortunately the

    You guys still get Z-rock.  "I saw red" would be ok, since Monday
    all I've gotten from Z-rock in Albuquerque, NM is rap and pop crap.
    I was wondering if the FCC pulled the plug on them for some reason.

    Been in Atlanta for six + years . . .
    
    It took a long time to get weaned from (what I would now call "Yankee

    BUT, I've learned to LOVE SOUTHERN ROCK - Skinnard (sp), Allmand Bros,
    38 Special, how 'bout them Black Crows? (OK they're rowdy, but . . .)

	I have a question for all of you...

	What is AAF trying to prove by playing that song "Rush" by
	(something like) Big Audio Dynimite.  AAF has been playing
	it for months now, and it has to be the *WORST* song I
	have ever heard.  Why I bring it up is because they are 
	playing it on the radio now.  Next time I hear that song
	I am going to throw my radio (which isn't that great) on
	the ground and stomp on it for an hour or two..   I 
	*COULD NOT* hate that song anymore than I do.  I called
	Hillman one day and told him *exactly* what I thought of the
	song.  All he had to say is 'I like it.'.  AAF wake up
	the song $ucks they is so much other stuff you could be playing.
	
	Oh...great... "Rush" is over and now they are playing that
	song which is almost as stupid "I'll stop the world....."
	Save me...please!!!!  I wish I could get HJY from here.

	Are there no better radio stations then AAF?

	BTW a few back.....The Extreme against AAF softball game
	was pretty good.  My friend is *sorta* related to Nuno
	so I got to be on the field on the Extreme so called "bench".
	Just a bunch of people, related to the players, standing in 
	foul ground.

	In closing AAF get a life..  There are so many good groups you
	could be playing.

					-Seth-BTE/HMBP-RF!!!!

	(BTE- Bratty'er then ever!!!!)

    
    They are basicly told what to play. They don't have a choice.

	Well someone has the choice, and those songs $uck, they
	don't go with the other songs they play or their image.

	I am not blaming the DJs I am blaming the station.


						-Seth/HMBP-RF!

    
    I must say that station is the worst around... I hate radio. If someone

	Gee...Duh....I never thought of that... Boy are you smart... 8)
	Yes a realize that there are other people besides me, but I 
	have not met one person besides Hillman that likes that song.
	(At the time I called the Hillman there were a bunch of us
	in the room and on the phone talking to him).

	My point being (since I believe you missed it) is that I use
	to like AAF, but now I realize that they *$uck* I am basically
	saying what Chris did.  If there was a good heavy metal station
	around they would make a killing.  AAF claims to be untammed
	radio and yet they play the songs I mentioned, plus once in a 
	while they play Fine Young Canibals, Meatloaf, and such...
	Those two songs from last night kinda pushed me over the
	edge, but it comes from a much bigger, growing, hate for the
	station. 	

    	>I don't recall which facility you work at, but have you
    	>tried 104.1 BCN or 101.1 GIR??
    
	I work in SHR and I can not get GIR (which I do listen to outside
	work) and I think BCN is not current enough.  My favorite 
	station around, now that I don't like AAF as much is HJY,
	but I can't get it at work.

	Re: Rob..

    	Whatever "real" is...I think no matter what style of music it is 
    	if your goal was to attract a smaller audience that doesn't like 
    	intermixed crap within what they consider to be good then the odds 
    	are that you wouldn't attract as many advertisers.
    
    	There's probably a greater chance of an all 'real Heavy Metal'

    	to mind that have specific radio shows have the broadest radio

	I am sorry if I was not clear in my first message...  My

	hill.  They play pop rock rather the 'untamed' metal.
	I was just using the song "Rush" and the others as an
	example, sorry if I was not clear.  I *do* still listen
	to AAF at work because there is nothing better that I can
	find, and the tape player "eats" tapes.  I mean AAF
	does play some songs I like, but most I really don't.
	I am glad you were not coming down on me, because they
	are only my opinions, but I happen to think that my
	opinions count...(I know that no one else does)  8)

    basic classic rock, new wave, dance, and of course: COUNTRY!  8-P  Yuk.
    
    'pril (who says be glad you have more than *1* cool radio
    station.)

    When I was up there last, I listened to the radio a lot since the
    rental car I had didn't have a tape player.  I didn't personally like
    AAF very much.  It was very repetative, had way too many commercials,
    stupid DJ's,  and played a lot of lame music.  It reminded me of our
    local AOR station here in Colo. Springs, KILO.
    
    I ended up listening to 'FNX most of the time, but bounced around
    between that AAF, BCN, and a couple of others I don't remember.  I
    heard Z-rock on some FM station when I was down in Rhode Island, but
    couldn't get it as I got up toward central Mass.

    COUNTRY RULES!!!!!!!!
    
    Now if AAF played more Kenny rogers and Reba MacIntire I'd listen 24
    hours a day!

    FWIW if you're ever in Connecticut, check out these hard rock stations:

    Jesse, the civilized people in and around Dallas petitioned to get rid
    of Z-rock, said it was corrupting the youth!  That was back when
    basically all they played was Death Metal though...

    Tell me when /k's party is.  I know, I know, the date and time is in
    this file SOMEWHERE, but like with Ozzy, I have looked and can't find
    it, and don't know when or where it is, so, like, I'd like to go to the
    party, but, like, I don't know where it is, so, like, tell me, and I'll
    go, you know?

    Yes I won't be staying late...and I won't be drinking much...
    
    I'll probably be coasting (Calm down Buck ;') out of there between
    11:00 and midnight...

    Don't know if anyone is aware of this, but there's a great radio show 
    on WERS 88.9 every Sunday from 11:00pm to 3:00am.  It's called Nasty 
    Habits and they play heavy metal from 11:00 to 2:00, and death metal 
    from 2:00 to 3:00 (that means you Duy)!  
    
    The best part is, there's no commercials; which makes it especially
    attractive for taping if you can't stay up that late.
    
    Check it out, it's a cool show!

He first went to work at Metal Blade Records. He left there, and was at WGIR 
for a while as a DJ, doing the late night shift (10pm - 2am). Last I heard
from him, he was working for CBS Records in New York, but that was about 2 
years ago.

    Are there any other local radio stations that have good metal shows?
    
    How 'bout live shows such as King Biscuit or the like?
    
    I'm just sick of having HBB on MTV as my only source for new metal
    music...   8-(
    
    -Stevie D

    WAAF (107.3) picks up a signal from California on Sat. nights
    called Pirate Radio.  It has pretty decent metal.  There is
    another station that has The Metal Shop.  I think it is WHJY
    94.1 out of Provincence but I could be mistaken.
    
    Huey

    
	Reply .256 had some good references...

	The reference in .205 to Lisa's "Sick Packages" show is still
	accurate but her show now runs from from 8:30 to 10:30 on Friday
	nights and it has a lot less of its share of metal, if any at all,
	than it used to have.

	As already mentioned WBCN's metal show while relatively mild still 
	exceeds anything they generally play.

	Yes, that pirate radio show is okay at times.

	It's pretty sad if someone has to depend on MTV to hear new metal or
	any other type of new music.

	As far as live music I'll have to come back to this but I recall
	WMFO / 91.5 (Tufts/Medford) having a lot of different live music
	on Saturday afternoons.

    >	WMFO / 91.5 (Tufts/Medford) having a lot of different live music
    
    I get 91.5 as WJUL from Lowell, some mornings & evenings they play punk.

    
    	Yea, two good stations that sometimes literally cross.  Actually
    	even from within the Medford area I sometimes have a hard time 
    	picking up 'MFO.

	I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!


	AAF just played 'It's Easy' by Guns and Roses...

	YES the complete song!!!!


	I expect AAF to be taken off the air anytime now...

	If you know the lyrics to 'IE' you will know that near the
	end Axl says the following lines 3 or 4 times.


	'It's so easy, so d**n easy, It's so easy, so f**kin' easy'
	He also says 'So why don't you just, f**k off!'
	I CAN'T believe AAF played that!!!   

	Very daring of AAF, I remember all the slack radio stations
	were getting for playing 'Get the Funk out' by Extreme...

	I can just imagine...


							-Seth

AAF has had it's cords pulled once or twice in the past I think.  :^)
Overall all, in this area, it's not a bad HM station.  Probably the one with
the most output anyhow, I get it no problem here in Nashua.

The other night I was listening, late, and some DJ fill in was on. Talking about
how they couldn't fire him because they just signed him to some 6 month contract.

Well some other regular DJ was on too, and this new guy was saying shit like

"I'll shove that stick up your a**", and "If I want to give away a new shovel
for the beack dig I will, screw them"  (THe mangement).  That was the polite
stuff.   IT was pretty fackin' hilarious.  He was VERY cocky.

-andy

(Yesterday they had some "body piercing" profesional in.  Right, she had her 
body pierced in her genitals, her "chest", and was going to get one from her
nose to her cheek.  When asked what the one in her genitals was for, she said
to "Make the fun more fun..."  Oh, ok.  Do I want to meet her??  She sounded like
she was built like "Hans" and "Franz".  :^)

	{I should be able to remember their names but...}

	o She was formerly on WERS (88.9 / Emerson) for Nasty Habits (Sunday 
	   nights) and is now on WCGY, that is if'n my ears...


	o She was formerly with WCGY and now, well last week anyhow, is on
	   WFNX's whatever-you-call-it-show, the one that follows Boston
	   Rocks on Sunday nights.


	Lastly the real reason why I'm here, there is no replacement for 
	Lisa and her Friday evening Sick Packages.  I'll have to stick in 
	some 'ole radio tapes, the ones I never got around to making for 
	a UK friend, during the 'MBR 8:30-10:30 slot.  But those of you
	in the NC - WXDU area will now be able to hear her.

    In the spirit of the Presidential election, WAAF and WBCN are starting
    to take shots at each other.
    
    Anyone else notice this?  I heard BCN do it a couple of weeks ago, and
    I heard it on AAF today.
    
    S

BCN takes shots at everyone.  I heard one night the guy who does the Sex
Palace (name escapes me right now - Bradley J???) say that the Copy cat 
station s*cks and the DJs at WZLX read everything off cue cards and weren't
allowed to say anything else....

He went on and on and on ...

This is going to be the new sister station to WBCN by the way due to the new
FCC ruling allowing 4 (used to be 2) stations to be owned by the same guy
in the same market.

    How's about the guy on 'BCN who's "Taking a classic copy cat".

The Black Crowes will be playing live from Houston on WHJY in Providence
(94.1) this Saturday at 10:00pm.  I'm not sure what other stations will
carry it.

        The beach party at Avalavon that's being thrown
    by WAAF really won't be worth the effort.  You have to
    win the tickets to get into the show that will have
    live music by Ugly Kid Joe and two other Boston bands.
    Ugly Kid Joe's lead guitarist was hit by a bottle at
    their last show and is in the hospital with head/face
    injuries.  It sounds like just a few stitches but he
    won't be attending the beach party.  Ugly Kid Joe is 
    just going to be do an accustic set and their playing
    time has been kid in half....

>>    injuries.  It sounds like just a few stitches but he

I heard 20 and he was still in the hospital as of last night...

What's up with WCGY (Boston)?

Last week I heard they were sold, then last night at 7 PM I hear the DJ (Andy
Carlson) say "5 more hours and then that's it".  So this morning, I turn on
93.7 FM and I hear a bunch of rock tunes (similar to the old format), then a
nameless DJ say "WCGY, Lawrence/Boston" just like it used to be?

Do they have new owners and new DJ's but the same basic format?  Did they get
absorbed by a large company (I think WCGY was independent)?

thanks,

adam

    
    What is 88.3 on the dial?  They call themselves Power 88, say they're
    in "Southeastern New England," and were playing a pretty good rock 
    variety the day I tuned in.  I never heard anything down there before,
    but I have a new car stereo, so I don't know if its new or I just never
    got it in.

    And only AAF listeners would WANT them!!!

    They were made for each other!

    Just looking in on this notesfile for the first time, and a number of
    comments.
    
    	1.  Too bad about CGY.  I thougt they offered one of the best
    	    varieties on the air.  Just before they cut over to EGL
    	    they were really smoking.  I think they were playing 
    	    everything on their shelves.  
    
    	    I hate to see a seventies station make it.  Gag!  all the
    	    Three Dog Night, Bee Gees and Captain and Tenille you can
    	    "stomach" (puke) for me about 3 chords worth.  If we're lucky
    	    it'll die a slow painful death.
    
    	2.  I like the college stations.  Fitchburg has a good one.
    	    Lowell sometimes, and I found a great one up in Plymouth,
    	    NH while I was driving thru the mts.
    
    	3.  NYC has one that's way ahead of ours, where Mark Raz, formerly
    	    of AAF is working now.
    
    	4.  Last I heard Ian O'Malley, he was working a NJ station, but 
    	    that was a coupla years ago.  So, I don't know.  I really
    	    liked Ian and Chuck Nolan.  I thought they had very dry
    	    sense of humor, and a little class.  Something, unfortunately,
    	    missing from some of the new d.j.s.
    
    	5.  On AAF I DO like Greg Hill.  He's dry and very quick on his
    	    feet.  He's great with double entendre.
    
        6.  I'm afraid I think Liz Wild is a pig, and she looks the
       	    part.  Don't be fooled, guys, she is NOT the fox she makes
    	    herself out to be, and is always saying she is, unless you like
    	    the overweight variety with red lips that enter a room before
            she does.  The voice definitely does NOT match the body.
            She had some funny stuff for awhile, the dolls, and man on
    	    a stick, and stuff, but no longer.  I'm just not into being
            degraded (since I AM a woman), or having my senses assaulted.
    	    Shock doesn't impress me.
    
        7.  John Osterlind's voice doesn't match either.  He's a lot
      	    younger, and (girls) cuter than you expect him to be
    
        8.  A dream radio station for me of the local disc jockeys would 
            be Greg Hill, John Osterlind, Mark Parento (another dry, witty,
    	    and has class), and Chuck Nolan.
    
        9.  I liked the Pirate Radio.  Too bad it went off.  It would have
            been nice if one of our stations around here had picked it up.
            Ok, so it had it's good days and it's bad days.
    
       10.  There's some show on TV Friday or Saturday late night, can't
            remember the station either, that introduces a lot of new 
            stuff not heard before (and maybe never) on MTV.
    
       11.  I never watch MTV anymore.  Is it still overrun with Rap?
    	    Rickki Rachtman's show wasn't great but it wasn't too bad.
            Is it still on?
    
       12.  FNX used to be better, I thought.  Now they play the new stuff
            first, but unfortunately, a lot of it is garbage.
    
       13.  Anybody out there into the quirky stuff?  I have a tendency to
            like things like Oingo Boingo's Deadman's Party, and Warren
    	    Zevon's Excitable Boy, and Kim Mitchell's Go For A soda, Tubes
            What Do You Want From Life.  Guess I tend to like things that 
            are very tongue in cheek, and poke big fun at society, or the 
            socially aware stuff from the likes of Tool, Queensryche.....

    but he comes off with a 10th grade humour and mind set.  His show is
    DEFNITELY geared towards the high school male market, age 13 - 17!!

    John Osterlind??  I think he's an idiot as well.  He's always screwing
    up the names of songs, and he's improvs are terrible!!
    
    My dream station, for the most part, is BCN.  Their morning show with
    Charles is just ok -- I'd switch Charles to nights and have Howard
    Stern on in the am.

    True, they've gone mainstream imho.  I liked when their programming was
    ultra cutting edge.  Now its like the Cure and Nivrana...aack!
    

    That's funny that's more the way I think of Liz Wild's so-called humor.
    I guess that's what some people call "adult humor" if your idea of
    adult is sexist, gutter humor.  And I don't know too many people as 
    quick on their feet and good as improvising as Greg.  And I can assure 
    you, I'm far from the high school or male crowd.
    
    I think Liz's "humor" is geared more towards that age group, and sex,
    non-readers, non-thinkers.
    
    How do you feel about the Marx Brother's or Robin Williams, Emo
    Phillips, Steven Wright?  (Ah yes, now that I look a little more
    closely, I can see Andrew Dice Clay written all over your note.  Now 
    there's "adult").  Guess you're not too crazy about Home Improvement
    or Grace Under Fire.  Guess I just like that off-the-cuff, quick 
    on your feet, doesn't make me nauseous type of humor.  But then I'm
    kind of a strange bird.  I also prefer being in a room full of nice
    people to a room full of people who are full of it, and I never saw 
    the fun in puking at parties or waking up not remembering what you did
    last night (How do you know you had a good time? and puking is not one
    of my favorite things in the whole wide world to do).
    
    Oh, wanted to add, I don't think of AAF as a really heavy metal radio
    station, (But they're the best we have around here, now.  Used to
    listen to BCN, but stopped when on my 45 min. drive into work I didn't 
    hear ONE song.)  WAAF has definitely gotten better.  I remember when 
    everytime I tuned to their station they were playing one of the same
    three songs, and I could actually time what time a particular song was
    going to be played.  I still think they could play a little more
    variety, and dig deeper into the records, and once in awhile into the
    past.  I personally think Jethro Tull was WAY ahead of their time. 
    They almost sound like grundge.
    
    And are we all glad we don't have as many clone bands around, nowadays.
    
    Thanks for the chance to bounce my opinions off you.
    
    Cyn
    

    Huh?  AAF not a heavy metal station??
    
    
    Sorry, but I disagree.  The few times I surf by that station, they're
    playing all of 6 songs - STP, Soundgarden, Ozzy, Metallica ... and a
    couple of the latest HM hits.
    
    They're without a doubt a HM station imho

    To Buckley,
    
    
    You really think John's an idiot?  See, I don't recall his
    improvisations, but I respect a lot of his opinions, and I think he
    offers a pleasant alternative to shock jocks.  I also like the way 
    he digs into the backgrounds of song lyrics, and groups.   He seems
    to do his homework.
    
    And I agree, the NYC station roolz.
    
    Cyn
    

    >To Buckley,
    >
    >
    >You really think John's an idiot? 
    
    Yeah -- based on the few times I've listened to the "O Zone" -- he
    starts blabbing about a song or a group, gets himself in too deep
    where he really has NO idea WTF he's talking about, blabbers a bit
    more, and then makes some excuse to play another song...

    
    i definately dont consider WAAF a metal station either, not in the way
    I think of a metal station.  They play the latest grunge hits, some
    cool old heavy stuff, but if you go check out KNAC or what used to be
    Pirate Radio, at any time you could find them playing old Slayer,
    Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Dio as well as new Pantera (NOT that boring
    Sabbath tune), Testament, etc.  I would kill for a station like that.
    WAAF definately has gotten better, but it's not where I'd like it to be
    yet.

    Madonna, strip joints....oh, yeh, and puking at parties.  I think he's
    a narrow-minded, bigoted sexist, who then goes around trying to snow us
    into believeing he's a liberal guarding our right to free speech.  Far
    as I'm concerned he represents everything that's wrong with this
    country right now with criminals who abuse the legal system to have
    more rights than victims, people who abuse the Welfare system and ruin 
    it for people who really have need.  He abuses the right of free
    speech.  I can't wait for his 15 minutes of fame to be over with so he
    can crawl back into the hole he crawled out of.  I once heard him have
    the nerve to say "There's nothing more irritating than an ugly woman
    with Cindy Crawford's personality."  I couldn't help thinking, ' How
    about an ugly man with YOUR personality, Howard?  Oh wait, you ARE an

	I was gonna nit pick, but I'll just summarize, "abusing the right of
	free speech" is an oxymoron as defined by our Constitution.  
	Besides I love seeing Madonna strip while I'm puking, it heightens
	the effect...%^)

	/Cap'n Quad

    Wow Cap'n,
    
    You beat me to it.  I was going to ask how one "abuses" the right
    of Free Speech.
    
    While I don't think Howard Stern is a "guardian" of free speech, I
    think of him as a "test case".   And given all the "I'm for free speech
    but not in this case..." reactions he's getting, I'd say we're failing
    the test and thus, the test was worthwhile.
    
    	db

    re .445
    
    <Besides I love seeing Madonna strip while I'm puking,...
    
     Madonna already nauseates me so seeing her strip would probably 
     cause me to make some major splat patties, too.
                                            
     

	Although I'm not a big Stern fan (I make a face when he comes on
	and I have to turn to something different), I do have to say
	"More power to him". There is no way you can say he "abuses"
	free speech. Like was said, that's oxymoronic.

	Remember, you're within your rights to stand on a soapbox and 
	spout the most annoying views known to man. I'm also within my
	rights to walk away and ignore you. It's called Freedom.

    Freedom isn't freedom if it infringes on someone else's freedom.

    kamasutra demonstration during a Tupperware party.

	/General Confusion 

    For the kamasutra demonstration all you would need to do is play Nude
    Twister(tm) in the privacy of your own home.

    
    
    And I was worried I might be too controversial ;-)
    
    I'm a large believer in free speech, and I agree Stern has a right to
    say whatever he wants on whatever front he wants (no matter how
    moronic, bigotted, etc. And I still wish he'd go away.)  And I already 
    stated what my CHOICE was (turn him off, and take BCNs button away).  
    Of course, you realize that also means the KKK have a right, the white 
    supremicists hava right, and on down the line. And if gays hava right 
    to march in the St. Patty's day parade then so do white supremicists.  
    Or do you draw the line?   And if you do draw the line, who's the god 
    that decides.  When does it go beyond freedom of speech to slander, 
    antisemiticism, racism, and intolerance?  When does it start
    infringeing on the rights of others?  I sometimes find that it's
    ok to be INTOLERANT of groups it's not the vogue or fashion to be
    TOLERANT of. 
    
    I also believe it is an individual's right to smoke, but not if I
    have to inhale it.  (I guess I COULD do a Bill Clinton, tho, and
    just NOT inhale).
    
    Nude Twister sounds alot more entertaining.

    	Knowhatimean?
    

    >    	UNconditional LOVE.  Who came up with that one?  
    
    God did.  It's called Agape love.  There are 2 other basic types of
    love: Philos (friendship/brotherly love) and Eros (the Nude Twister(tm)
    kind).  
    
    I remember an incident of my freedom of expression from my high school
    days.  The teacher was lecturing on the finer points of an Isoceles
    triangle (which has nothing to do with kamasutra).  I proceeded to walk
    up to his desk, during the middle of class, and began tearing up all of
    his notes into small pieces.  Naturally he screamed, "WHAT ARE YOU
    DOING MR. HEISER?!  THOSE ARE MY NOTES!!!"  I simply stated, "I'm
    exercising my freedom of expression."  I was then escorted down to
    visit the Gestapo (Dean of Students), who was an ex-Drill Sargent in
    the Marines.  If any of you know how they treat students with
    freedom-of-expression problems in private Catholic high schools, you'll
    know that I quickly learned where freedom starts and ends.
    
    Of course, I made *part* of this up, but I think it proves the point:
    freedom isn't freedom if it infringes on someone else's freedom.  It's
    all a matter of good taste and etiquette; something today's society has
    lost.

    You asked a great question and then you answered it yourself:
    
    It goes beyond freedom of speech when it infringes on the rights
    of others.
    
    I do not think Howard Stern is infringing on the rights of others.  
    Do you?
    
    If so, we'd love to here what/whose rights he's infringing.
    
    If not, then he is not "abusing" nor "pushing the limits" of free
    speech.  The only thing I think he's pushing is your buttons.  ;-)

     I think you missed her point. Seems to me what she was alluding to 
    is that if you make racial slurs, make antisemetic gestures, etc...
    there is a certain amount of retribution you will face. 
     
     On the other hand think about what women face and what kind of
    retribution (if any) is applied. 
    
     we're a sexually oriented society and women are the most exploited
    in all facets...think about it.
    
     the only part of her question she answered was that she can turn the
    dial from Howard Stern...that's only part of the problem.

    You need to consider the context here.
    
    She does NOT have to "put up with it" from Howard Stern.
    
    Howard Stern also seems more than willing to "face" a certain amount of
    retribution.   Heck, I think he thrives on it.
    
    Howard Stern is not infringing on anyone's rights, nor is he beyond any
    "limit" of free speech.

    They are people that god could not unconditionally love.
    
    What they did was something that violated the "condition" of god's
    love.

    you're really trying to propagate this sovereignty vs. free will issue
    aren't ya? ;-)

    
    
    There now seems to be some consensus that my statement "abuse of free
    speech" is not quite the "oxymoron" it was called (and I believe the
    law/courts uphold this with rulings on slander, etc.), since debate
    now seems to have swung from whether or not there is such a thing as
    abuse of free speech to whether or not Howard Stern abuses it.
    
    Having the RIGHT to say something does not make it RIGHT to say it.
    
    (Rose colored glasses firmly in place) wouldn't it be nice if
    men and women, people of all races and religions all RESPECTED
    one another, and treated one another with consideration? 
    
    And I think it is almost as sad that anyone would "thrive" on
    insulting, debasing, and degrading others, as it is someone 
    who would thrive on the misery and misfortune of others.
    
    That does not make me a feminist, or a bra burner.  and It does 
    not mean I'm against levity (Every group has jokes about it, and 
    hopefully we are big enough people to be able to laugh at 
    ourselves).

     then what you're saying is God's love is conditional...
    
     ...now if even God's love is conditional is there such a thing as 
    unconditional love?
    
     

    >  ...now if even God's love is conditional is there such a thing as

    Maybe. The woman I saw on Oprah who still loves her husband despite the
    fact that he boinked her sister during their wedding reception strikes
    me as being a lot more "unconditional".
    
    What's the name of that horrible serial murderer they executed in FL
    last year?   His mother said she still loved him in spite of everything
    he did. The people outside the prison cheering the news of his death
    said that god was sending him "straight to hell."

    Being a saint doesn't cut it.  Abraham was justified by faith, not

    or something.  Alan and I were taking bets on which band would be on
    the radio when we turned it out.  We were only right 3 times or so, but
    the times we were wrong it was one of the other bands (except on the
    weekend they seemed to change format).  They played STP, Smashing
    Pumpkins, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, zeppelin/new page/plant or pearl jam. 
    that was pretty much it.  I wore out my new 'ryche and dt tape to the
    point where Alan actually LIKES the new DT album!!!  :').  buck we went
    to SFx (i forget) but they were SOLD OUT for some haloween special
    (good thing i drove in thru the exit instead of paying for parking

I thought you all might like to know that I have officially replaced WBCN
in my car radio with WAAF.  Previously I hadn't bothered with WAAF because
I thought it was too "teeny-bopper" for me.  Maybe it still is, but ever
since WBCN changed format to "modern rock" I have even less of an interest
in it than I used to.  Plus, after 7 pm I can still listen to some music
rather than Howard "waste-of-time" Stern.

I'm finding that WAAF isn't as bad as I would have guessed, certainly more
interesting than WBCN.  At least I can hear a lot of Zeppelin and Floyd
now!

I'm sure most of you already listen to WAAF in a big way, but are there any
others who have made the change, or otherwise think WBCN is going downhill? 
It looks like WFNX will overlap/compete with WBCN now, but WFNX probably
doesn't talk as much!

adam

I listen to both.  Now BCN serves the purpose that MTV used to for me.  They
play more things that haven't broken into the bigtime yet - ala MTV's buzz
clips.  I find Opie and Anthony a bit too much impressed with themselves.  The
music AAF plays is still more up my alley than BCN or ZLX even though I'm in my
late 30's (physically)...

AAF could rotate things a bit more but so could all stations.

I mean even ZLX is playing whole album sides now.  I just heard one whole side
of Every Picture Tells a Story by Rod Stewart.  How many times have you heard
Maggie May vs any other song on that album?

I heard something so funny the other night on HJY in Providence.  Someone called
in because the DJ called convenience store workers some slur (I won't say unless

So he asked for the complaint dept.  The DJ goes, this is Heywood in the
Complaint dept...  They go on and on finally the guy askes for the name of this
DJ.

Heywood Jablomy

The guys says the name, completely oblivious.  The DJ says can you repeat it

I guess I haven't yet heard any morning babbling on WAAF.  I can't imagine
any station being worse than WBCN in the morning.  I think they play about
3 songs per hour on WBCN, the rest is talk and commercials and Charles
padding Mishegas with so much bulls**t talk I could fertilize my backyard!

    music. Imagine my surprise when driving back from the bay area, tuning

    no comprende' experience! I heard from locals that KNAC was getting in
    trouble with the FCC for certain language used (accidently, I'm sure)
    and management sold them out. They still have KNAC night at a few 
    choice clubs in LA/Orange County area, where metal heads talk about

    	use it, respectively.  Then you're guaranteed to have total
    	control over every song that you listen to.
    

I think the point is lugging crap (cassettes, walkman) around is usually more
work than trying to find the least objectionable station in the area.  

Some rental cars don't have cassettes either...

    
    Yeah, I don't want to bring a CD player or Cassette machine with
    me...

    RE: bringing tapes.
    
    You can but part of the the cool thing of going to a new place is
    listening to what they play in the area...and maybe hearing something
    new you like that you might not otherwise have heard.
    
    I have one friend that eats in chain restaurants whenever she goes
    away cuz she says she always knows what she'll get that way....

They wanted to get dinner at Red Lobster...   Geez how about some local food?

    re: .568
    
    KSJO (someone mentioned in also) was decent. There is a cool jazz
    station, forget the label of it, maybe 92.9 out there, lights out jazz,
    VERY good stuff they played on it, mostly contemporary, but good.
    
    Now, for my old all-time favorite out there!!!
    
    
    
    	KOME - 98.5  - Don't touch that dial, its got KOME on it!
    with your host Dennis Erectus, vote Erectus for president!
    
    This guy was a howl out there back in the 80's! He's a little runt too
    when you see him! (Well, he's definitely shorter than me!) I saw him do
    the MC bit at a club in San Jose....back late 80's when I saw Robin
    Trower there (2 yrs in a row too! He was EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and he
    was pretty funny. He used to come on the radio saying he had Nancy
    Reagan inflatable dolls with french and greek features, then go
    "Naaanct, I love youuuuuuuuu". He was like BCN/AAF used to be back
    years ago! I don't know if he is still on there, but he definitely was
    a hoot to listen to!

    	Whilst walking through the motherland to get to the quarterdeck
    	restaurant, I strolled past the old Sittin' Bull pub. The gig
    	board was posted out front as usual...
    
    	Today, thursday 21-MAR-96, WAAF nite at the Sit'N Bull,
    	featuring Bad Mother Seed.
    
    	They're giving away a Sno board, don't know which brand name.
    
    	WAAF? In the motherland? Sheesh, this club gets all the breaks.

    
    Well, I'm going to go way out on a limb here, but...
    
    WGAO, the Dean College radio station, is the best radio out there
    right now...  It's the only thing I can listen to for any amount
    of straight time....
    
    It's college radio (real college radio, not like 'FNX or 'BRU), so
    they're on "whenever," with no schedule, but also with no format.
    There is no playlist.
    
    I'm sitting here listening and it's:
    
       o Aerosmith "Same old story"
       o Duran Duran "Union of the Snake"
       o Metallica "Crown King"
       o old Journey ballad
       o Cracker "Teen Angst"
       o some punk rocker I don't know
       o some Cranberries tune
       o ZZ Top
       o some hip-hop dance tune I don't know
    
    .....  and so on.  They just play anything.  It doesn't have to flow
    or fit a demographic or... nothing.  Cool 70's schlock fits with
    new alternative fits with heavy rock.
    
    I wish there was more stations like that.  I like lots of different
    styles, and get bored with one type (even HM), and it's nice to see
    this sort of free form abandon.  Man, if commercial radio went to
    this, I'd buy every product advertised....  :^)

I hear ya Shawn. I cain't stand commercial radio for more than a little
stretch at a time. Here in Austin I'll often listen to KUT, The University
of Texas public radio station. In the morning it's National Public Radio,
since I'm too busy usually to read a paper, but in the evenings it's
pretty free-form, excellent jazz show one night, reggae another night,
world music, etc. some of it sucks, but I appreciate the variety.

Here's one for ya... why can't radio stations play DIFFERENT cuts off
an album besides the singles? They'll play a whole album when it's new,
and then play only "the singles". Why don't radio stations have shows during
which the DJ gets to play what he wants, like the college stations, like
the old FM stations? Are they concerned they'll lose some of their 
"demographic"? 

And, while I'm at it, what is the percentage of radio "personalities"
who aren't irritating morons? 

Have a nice day. 8^)

re: -1 that should have been SEAN, not to be confused with that Labounty
guy.
