Wilco Worshipper Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I was TOTALLY amazed to hear them on the radio this afternoon as I was "seeking". They played "What Light" a little after 5pm. I've heard Wilco here & there on our independent station, but this station is a little more popular and plays a lot more mainstream stuff. The DJ at the time had very nice things to say about the band and the album. However, he did also tell the listening audience about the "hazing of Wilco" by their dissappointed fans (over the VW commercial). That part made me sad being the first time I ever heard about them/us on the air and this is what was said. This makes me wish I could listen to XRT (Chicago) from home and not just when I'm visiting. I them with all my heart and always will and was very proud to hear them out there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 There's a local station here that's become fairly tolerable lately (107.1 -- no idea of the call letters) and while we ran out for some errands this evening, they played the new Spoon single followed by "Shake It Off" and "Theologians." I just about drove off the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mastershake Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 92.5 in Dallas, Texas has to be the best radio station in the country. This weekend I was listening to them because I was in a U-Haul with no cd player, and Tom Petty got my attention. I thought they were just a classic rock station, but then all the sudden New Madrid was playing followed by Bob Dylan's Rainy Day Women #12 and 35. Needless to say I didn't change the channel again. checking out their website, they seem to play uncle tupelo and at least alt-country wilco (played outtasite, outtamind recently). not to mention plenty of stevie ray vaughan, creedence, ryan adams, etc. http://www.kzps.com/pages/allthingsmusic.html if you are in dallas and don't have a cd player, i suggest listening to this station. barely any commercial interruptions either.

Sir Stewart Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 If that was WBOS playing "What Light", dollars to doughnuts it was sandwiched between "Runaround" by Blues Traveler and "Soak Up The Sun" by Sheryl Crow. Crap station. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Our aforementioned local station can't seem to hire a DJ who isn't a moron (guys: just tell me what songs you played, then shut the fuck up), and it's a little too reliant on old Dave Matthews Band hits to flesh out the playlist, but it's pleasantly devoid of Nickelback, so I find myself listening to it fairly often. I had to search their website to find their call letters: WQKL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WilcoFan Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 WTMD and WRNR play Wilco here all of the time. They are both giving away tickets to see them here in Columbia on the 21st too. SBS is the CD of the month for WTMD 89.7 too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
