    surprise show in delaware

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    haven't heard KEXP but i can echo the comment that WPRB blows away WXPN

     

    WXPN is the worst excuse for an "alternative" radio station in America. It's actually the most heavily formatted station you'll ever hear. They blow their own horn like they're some cutting edge, free-form station, but they NEVER stray from their tightly formatted playlist of 60 percent women singersongwriter stuff, 35 percent tired familiar oldies (steeley dan, david bowie, rem), 4 percent current male singersongwriter stuff and 1 percent actual good new music you've never heard before. and that 1 percent is probably a little high.

     

    WXPN never takes risks, never plays deep album cuts, never plays anything remotely edgy or experimental, never plays anything with balls. it's music for middle-aged suburban moms and dads who want to think they're cutting edge because they know who She and Him are.

     

    WXPN sucks.

     

     

    possible explanations:

     

    1. your girlfriend dumped you for WXPN

    2. WXPN fired you for not making the floors shiny enough.

    3. Your car has only AM radio and no air conditioning.

    4. All of the above!

    I would venture a guess that the "surprise show" is being confused with the ticket line campout at the venue for the August show.

     

    Just another in a long long list of reasons to continue the international Pier 1 boycott. Not to mention satellite radio.

     

    On another note, XPN is by far the best and only radio station worth listening to- at least in the PA area!

    Barry Manilow- Do you really think that YOUR songs make the whole world sing?

     

    Jakob Dylan, Nacy Sinatra, Frank Stallone and to a lesser well known extent, Richie Springsteen = nepotism

     

    Kevin Bacon, Eddie Murphy, Billy Bob Thornton, and Matrix-Boy: Do not confuse "actor" with "musician"

     

    Anthony, Flea, Henry Rollins, Dwight Yoakam, Jon Bon, Robbie Robertson, Elvis, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, etc....: Do not confuse "musician" with "actor"

     

    Charles Schultz: Everything but the way the adults talked was not really that humorous.

     

    Conor Oberst: Fer chrissake, tone done the self-important, sensitive singer songwriter schtick.

     

    Jack Johnson: eat a wave, mellow boy, everybody knows Jimmy Buffets yer real dad

     

    oh I could go , ummm, on and on, ...so to to speak....

    ahhh wilco ticket sales season has begun. i love this time of year, we all log in and stress out as we frantically try to buy tickets. then folks freak out because they got locked out of the presale in 1 minute flat. then go through it all over again two days later. some get tickets others don't. everyone freaks out again. and then somehow magically everyone that wants to go finds a source for tickets. usually in the how to fight loneliness section. it's like the change of the seasons, washing and conditioning your hair, buying wilco concert tickets...it wouldn't be the same any other way.

     

     

     

    Ha!

    Thanks for putting it in perspective!
