KROCK playing real music???
 
I love how it takes regular people to call in request play lists to finaly give us a real station in NY, i always thought it was funny how I could travel to other citys and turn on the radio at 8am and hear the sweet sounds of such bands as Pantera, White Zombie, GNR, Anthrax, Sepultura, Alice in Chains, Life of Agony etc. sooth me as I wake up and sip my coffee but here in NY, "the greatest city in the country" i had to hear one riff loser dumb bands for the last 5 years like I really wanted to hear The Used whining all over the air waves, or Radiohead try to write the most mondaine music known to man, or act like Coldplay was even remotly rock... Id listen to 105.5 id it came in or 104.3 if shelly sunstine would quit, but neither have heppend so far. But now I get to listen to real music again, thank you people for I am greatful.

The new user programing on the weekend is cool.
I still have 95.9 the Rat down here, and I just found a new station, 101.9. Its pretty cool, and has tons of good rock and roll from all years. I have added it to my "Top 4" aka only 4 presets in the Caprice.

Anti_Rice_Guy 02-25-2008 12:05 PM

yea, I'm pretty happy with it now. I hope it lasts.

... sirius ftw.

I gave up on K-rock a long time ago. I switched to 105.5 whenever I can get a good reception, Q104.3, or 101.1 & now 101.9 if the other stations are really bad. I prefer the radio over CD's when I'm driving for some reason.

millionaires?! 13 bucks a month isn't gonna break anyones budget, if you sign up for a year its under $150.. My sanity for being able to listen to radio without losing signal because I'm traveling, not having to fish for stations constantly, or being bombarded by ads (which is one thing i have always HATED about k-rock.. iw ant to listen to music, not commercials) is well worth that money. And I can listen to what i want to listen to when I want to listen to it. Not have to deal with some dj's choices and format changes from day to night.

Anti_Rice_Guy 02-25-2008 12:31 PM

I've heard 101.9, y'all get horrible radio stations out east. We get 107.1 which is awesome, 94.1 YSP is pretty good, as is 93.3 WMMR, but DHA is good too. I love listening to XM in mom's truck though. Or Ipod on shuffle.

alamantia 02-25-2008 12:31 PM

i still cant believ NY has the worst programingin the country as far as music is concerned

edpontiac91 02-25-2008 01:41 PM

Other stations are 106.3 and 95.1, but I have one question for K-ROCK, why the hell do you need a BRITISH DJ. It's like some of those reality shows, where the announcer has to belt out everything with that stupid accent(no offense to British people).:mrgreen:

SteveR 02-25-2008 01:42 PM

I cant stand commercials so I stick with cds

WildBillyT 02-25-2008 02:17 PM

I guess I am in the magical land that gets both NY and PHL radio.

I get:
92.3
93.3
94.1
95.1
102.9
104.3
105.5

I wonder that every time I turn on the radio and hear that guy. At first I thiought it was some guest DJ thing... then it happened all the time

SteveR 02-25-2008 02:41 PM

Internet radio is actually pretty cool. I'm talking to a few internet radio stations about playlists and getting some stuff played. You can stream it to your hard drive and record it and burn it to a cd and listen to it in your car too :D

have you tried www.pandora.com ?
you enter a band/artist and they try to play music similar to your tastes
you can vote yes/no to each song that plays & it adjusts accordingly

www.magnatune.com

Record label (you should look into this Steve), and internet radio. Lots of good stuff there.

I recommend this: http://www.magnatune.com/artists/williamson The artist describes it as "instrumental electronic space pop"
