i came back from vacation to find that my favorite radio station, the one i had listened to for the past ten years, the only "alternative" radio station in the area, y100 was dead. in its place was some ghastly "urban" station (the SAME "urban" station, i might add, that had swallowed up the radio station i listened to ten years ago, promting my switch to y100). the djs that got fired have started up this website: http://www.y100rocks.com/. they have a petition and all sorts of protesty stuff, and they're broadcasting online. they're trying to start a movement to get the station put back on the air. i'm actually kind of liking this version of the station better than the legitimate one... now i can listen to them at work!

i know it's not unusual for musical movements to die off, and honestly i didn't even like most of the stuff they played. but it's still sad, if only because i listened for so long it's like a long-time neighbor has moved to the congo and been eaten by a lion (hm. are there lions in the congo? *note to self: verify veracity of silly analogy*).

plus they had the only morning show i could stomach! i guess i better start drinking caffeine in the mornings, cuz their morning show was the only thing keeping me awake on my hour-long drive to work, and i don't think blinding rage is a healthy substitute...
