99.9 -OR- Oh good, another station on which I can hear the same fucking Foo Fighters song over and over and over.
99.9 the Stage was the last semblance of good FM music programming in Peoria. The music ranged from John Mayer to the Talking Heads to the Kooks. I seem to remember the programming director opening up to the people of Peoria and asking what they wanted on the station, and the people responded with a pretty firm answer. Keep the diverse playlist.
I’ve been listening to Sirius 95% of the time for the last couple of weeks, so I didn’t even know that 99.9 had switched formats. All of a sudden, I switch to FM, and I hear Paralyzer on 99.9. I figure, OK, fine, we’re all sick to tears of this song, but whatever. Then they go to a station sweeper. 99.9 the Buzz, the New Rock Alternative. Wha-huh? Don’t we already have 2 shitty modern rock stations in Peoria? They’re not really taking up more of the dial with rock 2-20 years old, are they? On my favorite radio station? This shit is fucking tragic. Thank God I got satellite radio when I did. I don’t know if I can handle another station fellating itself because it just started playing the Foo Fighters song that got released 10 months ago. I’m sure Dave Grohl will be happy to add another fuckface programming director to the line of douchebags waiting to suck his formulaic alt-rock cock. And don’t forget to ask for a reacharound, you assclown.

Amen on the loss of Peoria’s “World Class Rock and Roll.” Why can’t we keep decent radio stations in this town?

Amen. I could not have said it better.

No wonder I listen to 1470 AM or my iPod in my car.

Amen, Brotha! However, I will say that I disagree about Dave Grohl. That dude is a damn good musician in all instruments that he plays, but yes, it is redundant to hear the same tune over and over again. Pick up some of the other Foo albums, or even some of the later Nirvana albums to hear what Grohl is able to really do.
Or Tenacious D, or Tom Petty, or Queens of the Stone Age… he’s featured on all of these as well, both on guitars and drums.

IDNKM, you listen to 1470? Couldn’t have guessed that one.
It’s either 89.9 when NPR is on (occasionally for the music), an mp3 CD, or 1470 on my lunch break so I can find out what The Dark Lord is commanding of his zealous flock.
