Alice fooled me.
If any of you are Alice 97.3 listeners - you may have also been "April fooled". The morning show is somewhat controversial, I guess (and for the small amount it is - thank god, cuz it's something entertaining to listen to when I don't have the energy for Stern). So they'd been leading up last week talking about how pissed management was, etc. And then yesterday I hear this announcement from the stations manager about how "Some changes need to be made"... "you can now listen to the morning show comfortably with your family" and then he announced the "new morning show with Mike and Malou will be taking over" & I was blown away! I immediately boycotted them, switched all my stations on my clock radio & the one in the shower.
So, today was the day of the "new morning show" -- and I wasn't going to switch it over, and I even stood there thinking.. should I? Didn't I commit myself to totally boycotting them? But I just had to hear how bad this Mike & Malou really were. So I turned it on, but lo & behold - it was Alice & No Name still!! I was like WHAT?! Then slowly it dawned on me. It was really pretty funny cuz I got TOTALLY suckered and believed it!! Well done, Alice.
Overall I'm not a fan of the music on radio here. You'd think San Francisco would have such better music focused radio!! Not just crappy TRL inspired top 20 hits played over & over 10 times a day. ug. I mean, I can get through a day with a little KFOG and then LIVE105 in the afternoon or after work... but I really wish we had a station like Seattle's KEXP. My friend, Jane turned me onto it. They actually play music that I LOVE!! And they play new music from bands on small labels that deserve to be heard!! It's awesome. The best part is I can listen to it online while I'm at work! Check it out. And SOMEONE, please start a better radio station here in SF!!
