HD Radio

Well, it's semi-on topic because I always listen to tunes while
working on my bikes.

I just picked up a Sangean HDT-1 AM/FM HD Tuner for my home stereo.
The original tuner in my JVC tuner/amp burned out about a year ago and
I could easily live without LA radio. I did a bit of reading and
found out the ins and outs of HD radio and how LA already has a bunch
of stations broadcasting in HD. It's already paid for itself today
with no commercials and nonstop rock of varied and deep cuts. I have
yet to scratch the surface of the HD airwaves here in LA and am stoked
to have real radio again that's commercial free to boot.

Have you checked out any podcasts yet? I'm a Blues and Alt country/
americana fan and found some cool podcasts. Truly freeform and
noncorprate. Some are pretty ameturish but others are very
professional. It's also a great way to check out the music scene in
different regions. I'm sure that there's some good rock podcasts out
there.

You wouldn't listen to KMET any more, that's for sure. They changed
formats to elevator music long ago. From Wikipedia:

"The station’s owners finally gave up, and KMET signed off on February
14, 1987, to be replaced with new age KTWV "The Wave," much to the
consternation of its fans, many of whom called it "the Valentine's Day
Massacre". Today, like many other new age music stations, "The Wave" has
evolved into a smooth jazz format and is presently owned by CBS Radio.
The KMET call letters have been since reassigned to an AM smooth jazz
station in Banning, California."

KLOS is still alive and sort of well. But Indy 103 has been the LA
radio station for all things rock and roll the last couple of years.

Indie 103 is good, especially Jonesey's Jukebox which is hosted by the
nefarious Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols. However, those dumbasses
need to do something about their signal, which sucks more than pre-
Mount Wilson KNAC. KLOS is kicking and scratching though, with Jim
Ladd playing free form Rock & Roll in prime time weeknights. His shows
apex is his "Theme of Consciousness Fridays". The show is 100%
listener requests 9PM to 1AM, based on a predetermined weekly theme.
Also they have KLOS Late Night where unnamed celebs are jockeying free
form from 1AM to 5AM. Last night I heard a Scorpions song that
yes.com missed because it was too obscure to be digitized and read by
their equipment. Sometimes the Late Night show is very, very good and
skips the mundane same old over and over crap that Rock stations have
become.

there are also some decent internet radio stations you can access on
itunes or otherwise. for those with computers hooked up to their home
stereo, that is.

I thought Fly to the Rainbow was their first album. It was certainly my
first Scorps album.

Btw, mp3sugar.com also has all the old UFO stuff.

I was out there in 84-86 listening to KLOS & KMET. Well in the area
Santa Barbara and Lom Poc. Mountains are all around so to get in the
station I had run bare wire zig zag all over the ceiling and then hook
it to the antenna of my large Boom box. Now you all see how far Radio
Tech has come in just 20 years.
