Is Justin over 21?

KEXP regularly programs an innovative, eclectic mix of alternative rock, hip hop, electronic, roots & blues, world & reggae, jazz, Americana, rockabilly, ambient and more.

From what I have heard of WOXY, they are a modern rock station. You're not going to hear the Drive By Truckers or Jay FArrar or Solomon Burke, or Common or the Roots, etc, etc, etc.

Virgin I don't listen to, so I can't comment. But I'm guessing they probably don't mix all those genres up into the same show. They might have special "niche" shows.

but that places you at the same level of sheepdom as me and I wager most of the rest of us. I listen to woxy and virgin radio and lots of duff free/cheap samplers from game exchange…..

The bands that are played on KEXP are the very same bands that get in NME and pitchfork.


So please take this in a non aggressive, not sarcastic way (think thatguy), what makes you so unique?

And Pitchfork clearly won't even MENTION anything that is alt-country.

For example, they had an article on the Pernice Brothers. On the current tour, there are two temporary replacement members. One plays regularly for power pop band the Bigger Lovers, the other plays for alt-country singer Peter Bruntnell. Guess which one Pitchfork mentioned in their story, and which one they ignored.

And no, I don't read No Depression magazine.

WOXY just plays alternative rock, "Drive By Truckers or Jay FArrar or Solomon Burke, or Common or the Roots" have all been played on WOXY I think (actually who are the common?). Although Farrar is pretty rare to hear. The roots on the other hand was their single of the week.

Virgin is bland pop-rock for the most part. The speciality shows are good though.

So I miss out all the other genres. I dont really enjoy them. I guess that is why I strggle to get through a day listening to KEXP. Too much challenging music. But if you like all those genres doesnt that mean that you are less discerning than me? The opposite of your original argument?

Is Wilco alt-country?

they gave it a rare 10.0

Actually, I dislike quite a bit of what KEXP plays. Or at least am indifferent to a lot of it. But I think I would rather be challenged by a radio station than entertained by it.

I'd be interested to see if it was similar to the crowd that hangs at a Mary Kate + Ashley show…over 40 creepy guys.

I always look at the shoes first. Trust me, look at the shoes. It's the shoes.

Wilco was alt-country for their first two albums. Clearly, they have become a Pitchfork indie/alternative band in light of YHF. Totally different sound of a band.

I'm not daying I hate all that is Pitchfork I just try not to let it guide my music taste, since it is so narrow in scope.

oH WAIT, i'M SORRY, SONICK. your taste seems to be more formed by reading SPIN than pitchfork or NME, but same idea

you constantly prove time and time again, that not only are you a picky bitch, who just read review anyway, just different ones that most, or so you think , that you are also close minded and sterotypical.
because i listen to Radiohead, Kenna, and The Music (just for example, cause my taste is WAY wider than that) doesnt mean i have EVER even been on pitchfork.com (i have once, cause someone said that tore up the Hail To the Thief disc) and i havent read spin in at least 10 years, not even when i am bored at work. I dont read reviews written by other people, i dont read music magazine, EXCEPT Q and i only read the reviews there to hear what new bands are called. i dont pay ANY attention to how many stars they have.
Basically, I DO listen to WOXY sometimes, but other than that, i buy/steal (hah) music and listen to my MP3s.

So mr. i think i know everything, GFY cause you probably only think i read Spin and pitchfork, because you used to when you were my age, and you think its just normal….

and as for your fat person analogy, i shit on it, because having a wide vast taste in what you like, doesnt mean you dont care….no one , i repeat, no one with a brain will agree with you there.

I thought you said the narrower the scope the better?

round and round we go , rhett.

to be honest, i only really listen to one band ever, i dont really like the rest of music…i guess i have GREAT TASTE…

http://www.woxy.com/play.shtml

there is what WOXY plays on a daily basis.

X

radiohead=the music=kenna

i mean they're all basically "modern rock", right?

i like some modern rock bands, but like most restaurants in dc, most of them are pretty bland.

tell me some of your favorite jazz artists. what are some of your favorite rockabilly bands? what alt-country bands do you think are overrated, and which are underrated? Who do you think are the 5 top bluegrass artists of all time?

If it is the beautiful south,

hello Mankie. :D

all basically the same to me. some of them better than others, but really limited in scope.

What I was saying was that if you like MOST music, you really don't have any taste.

It's like a fat person who will basically eat anything that's put on a plate in front of them just because it's there.

I choose not to be one of those people.

But you like most genres of music. Do you think this verges on contradiction

ok sucker

i really HATE bluegrass and alt-country…although for some reason Clem Snide can be dealt with, cause of sentinmental purposes…
As far as jazz…Coltrane, obviously, and charlie parker, getz, and i like a Diana Krall CD

how about blues, and hip hop, and electronica, thats more my style than what you listed…and besides all this genre naming is still contradicting what you first said…
