Dude Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 A stream of the interview plus photos is here: http://www.93xrt.com/xrt-artist-wilco/2015700 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 The dj said 4pm.... this is a cool station. but it makes me remember how much wmms really f-ing sucks. The Buzzard sucks??? Actually WXRT is a pale remnant of what it once was, with a relatively short play list of the same artists and songs. Admittedly compared to WMMS it seems great, but trust me, it ain't what it used to be. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Once you realize that the red-eye is due to the fact that all the Wilco guys and XRT staff are actually aliens from the planet Xebngoz, it's all good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Is Kid Leo still in LA? Do you mean this guy (see below). He is on XM/Sirius. I listened to him sometimes on the way home from work. He does play a lot cool tunes. His intro ( a montage of gangster movie dialog) to his show is pretty cool, too. Kid Leo Kid Leo | emailWeekdays 4 pm – 7 pm ET A true radio legend, Kid Leo got his start in Cleveland in the '70s and went on to become one of America's most influential radio executives. He was named one of the "Heavy Hundred in the Music Industry" by Rolling Stone magazine, and Playboy deemed him "The Best DJ" in a special "Best Of" issue. During his initial stint in radio he aided the careers of many including Bruce Springsteen, the Pretenders and the New York Dolls. He broke artists on both regional and national levels. In 1989 he joined Columbia Records as VP of Artist Development, where he helped launch many careers, including those of Alice In Chains and Train. He also served as tour liaison for the Rolling Stones during their stay at the label. He was instrumental in making the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum a reality and is featured in its broadcast wing. He is not only one of the Underground Garage's DJs but also its program director. http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/Page&c=Channel&cid=1104779639688&s=person I did listen to XRT yesterday when Wilco was on. It was okay. It was pretty funny that Tweedy was stressing that there will be no surprises at the UIC shows and that one of them(Tweedy??) already forgot the name of the camel.

He also couldn't quite remember the title of the "last song on W(TA)" - someone else chimed in with Everlasting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WaronWar Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Speaking of Wilco and WXRT, does anyone have the show when Tweedy was on Eclectic Company playing songs he liked with Jon Langford? I listened to it when it was on about year and half ago, and I have always wanted to listen to it again since it was great stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
