Infinity broadcasting can suck it.

I just found out today, that come December 16th, the station that I know a lot of people grew up on, K-ROCK, is going off the air along with Howard Stern. It's switching format....it's going from the last major station to regularly play new rock music and becoming...get this....talk radio. TALK RADIO??!?! C'mon! This is bullshit. If I wanted to listen to talk radio, I would listen to NPR. Screw that, if I wanted to have a conversation I would call up some buddies, we would gather round, drink beer and shoot the shit. Hell, I would even call up @-ron, at 1800-bose-sucks-balls, and listen him prattle on about the benefits of one speaker system over another until 4 am. This means that solid state is now gone. Booker is gone. Hell, Howard is off the air, and he's been an institution in himself for over the past 10 years.

This is going to add a negative to living in NY. The only commercial rock station now is classic Q104.3, which is a good station, but it focuses primarily on rock from the 70s, 80s and now early 90s. Ugh, that and Z100.3. But that's not even an option.

Other music related news...my ipod has now cracked out and shows the disc-error message, and that all the music files are missing. However, when I plug it into iTunes, they are still somewhere on the disc. This in conjunction with the news from above leaves me in very dire straits. I hope that I was able to move most of my music off of it before the great immigration occurs.

Here's to hoping that tomorrow will be a better day than today.
