New York finally has a decent rock station. I am constantly whining about the lack of good terrestrial radio around here. Yes, WFMU, whatever, but I can only tolerate so much weirdness during a car ride. Most local stations are hip-hop, Top 40, metal or easy-listening. All stuff I generally can’t stand for more than a song or two.

He started out at the Melody Bar in New Brunswick. Remember? Sigh. Anyway, the station will probably be out of business within a year, but at least now I have something to listen to when my iPod is on the fritz.
