Episode 371 - E of Eels

Nice interview.  Really, you should be listening to the WTF Podcast anyway, but if you're not, this would be a good time to start.

Does it have bad language?  Well, the show is called "What The Fuck," so enter at your own risk, right?

Yumpin Yetti!

What a lineup!

Spotify!

Have I told you how much I like Spotify yet?  Here's the thing about it, it's fuckin' brilliant.  I've been using it for a while now and I have discovered so much great music.  For the most part, I don't hear much new music on the airwaves, and nobody has any great music shares on corporate LANs anymore.  And I have never really wanted to subscribe to all the previous music subscription services.  So when I found Spotify I started looking up old hard to find songs that I used to listen to.  I found John Palmumbo, Richard Lloyd, and David & David to start with.  I really had a hard time finding stuff that wasn't available.  So, the Eagles, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Bob Segar are big holes in the catalog but we can make due with almost everything else.

 

First there was a Mountain then there was no Mountain then...

What the world needs now is another classic rock FM radio station...said no one ever.

Well, someone might have said something like that but they were wrong...especially if they are talking about needing one in the Seattle area.

When I moved to Seattle I was pleased to find that there was a great radio station that was playing some really progressive music with great old classic songs mixed in with new "alternative" rock. They were not the amped up, this is cool 'cause no one's ever heard of it juvenile alt rock radio station. It wasn't "The End" or "The Edge" or anything like that. They didn't play a lot of Outcast, Linkin Park, or Limp Biscuit. OK, some Outcast, but not too much. They were playing the new REM when other stations were still only playing "Losing My Religion". They were playing new John Hiatt when other stations were only playing no John Hiatt songs at all that weren't performed by Bonnie Raitt. In short, it was a pretty fucking cool radio station.

I am sad to report that 103.7 KMTT Seattle (The Mountain) is now "A Mountain of Classics" which is another way of saying "a big pile of stuff we've already heard too much and can get a better selection on the other classic rock stations, which are legion." End quote.
