I was doing the lyrics to one of the two terrible lovelytheband songs.

I forgot to post about it weeks ago, but Milne played "Dr. Wu" one morning and that brought me great joy. Great song great song great song. She is lovely, yeah, she's sly, and you're an ordinary guy, has she finally got to you? God

I'm provisionally rescinding my dislike for lovelytheband, "Loneliness for Love" is pretty good, all they had to do was not sound the way they'd sounded before. I thought it was a Phoenix song.

Mine too. Aja is their best album top to bottom, but that's their best song. I know the Dan themselves kinda disowned Katy Lied because the mastering got all fucked up, but I always thought it was considered to be right up there with Aja and Pretzel Logic. I like "Black Friday" and "Bad Sneakers" a lot, and "Everyone's Gone to the Movies" is quality Steely Dan sleaze for sure, the rhyming of "Hackensack" with "paper sack" notwithstanding. Not a bad song on there.

Station sounds like shit, they've never been able to figure out automation (which is what this is, "doing the show from home" = voice-tracking less than a bare minimum of liners and sending them in) there. Every track runs out to the end with no overlap; they might just be running everything off a Winamp playlist. At one point there was a backsell to a Black Crowes song that was never played. Hope they can go back to being run by humans soon.

This is sad. Frontotemporal dementia is fucking awful, really one of the cruelest diseases on earth. I wish him the best.

It'd be kind of funny if they just put Lin back in mornings. My guess, however, is that the morning show goes to Emma Mac, who was the subject of a front-page feature in the Chicago Tribune about what a toxically masculine monster Greg Solk is, but who did not leave the company.

It is very sad. What's strange is that I still think of Richard Milne as a "young guy." It's weird to think he's been there 36 years. I guess because of all the warhorses that were on XRT forever.

Richard is an awesome guy.

Marty Lennartz to mornings, some lady from Boston simply known as "Annalisa" to afternoons. I thought the reason they replaced Jason Thomas with Richard Milne in the first place was to correct the years-long mistake of forcing an out-of-town hire into afternoon drive (insofar as 5p-9p was afternoon drive) in an otherwise up-from-the-mailroom culture. Oh well, I'm sure she can press the button that plays Nathaniel Rateliff and the Wet Shits as well as anyone who grew up here.

Lin is on leave for chemotherapy. Hope he gets better. I'm pretty sure the station is all just voice-tracked Ryan Arnold now.

That's awful, Lin Brehmer is my "best friend in the whole world." :lol:

All kidding aside, Lin is awesome. I hope he pulls through this.

Definitely. I wonder if this was behind his move to middays in 2020.

I don't particularly care for this Annalisa. She sounds like a corporate Lara Mondae. Were they afraid to promote the actual one?

This speaks to the sad state of radio circa 2022. I consider myself ax XRT fan, but I've never even heard her. I don't listen unless I'm in the car and I'm in the car about 80% less of the time than I used to be.

That's great to hear. I can't listen anymore, station sounds like pre-recorded garbage, but maybe if he's actually there, it'll sound good.
