Turn On The Radio
I believe that in true competitive spirit that radio has woken the fuck up and finally put some good shit on the airwaves again. With internet radio stations, ipods and satellite radio(by the way the SoulStreet station on Sirius is no joke) who really still listens to the radio besides me? If you grew up in NY I really don't have to go into the classic stations and programs that we had growing up. I think the height of radio for me was listening to Howard Stern in the morning from 1990 up until he left for satellite. Point being is that about a month ago Star and Buckwild came back to the airwaves on 87.7 and 101.9 formerly Smooth Jazz has become a alternative rock station with Matt Pinfield in the morning. I am literally torn each morning between who I should listen too. My choice is either indulge in on a full on onslaught of hate with Star or revel in nostalgia with Matt Pinfield. The only downfall with Star is that 87.7 is a dance station and they are some real wack ass Ibiza trippin on X shit. With Matt there is nothing but dope tunes. I tried telling some heads at work about this and everybody looked crazy at me for still having a radio. Go figure...
