Morning Radio Suprise

Posted on January 19, 2006

I'm generally a news and talk radio guy in the morning. Sometimes I listen to KLOS if I want a good laugh or something. I stopped listening to KROQ some years back because I really, really couldn't stand the Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, etc, etc type thing and KROQ was really heavy into it. In flipping channels this morning I stumbled across KROQ in my presets and amazingly they were playing a good song (Anything, Anything by Dramarama). So I stopped to listen, through about 10 songs, all good or tolerable. Did they ditch the lame rap-metal hybrid stuff?

In other news I dropped the Last.fm and Netflix feed from my sidebar because it was slowing down page loads, considerably. I've been thinking of maybe making them AJAX powered so then the page would load and subsequently go out and get that info. I guess I'll put that on the “When I need a diversion from everything else I need to do” list.
