Thoughts?

No news yet on whether he’ll reopen, and if I’ll get my ratio back or not. J/k what.cd for lyf, cousin.

More at the BBC.

KXT is a new radio station found at 91.7 FM in North Texas, and at kxt.org worldwide. It’s an incredible selection of acoustic, alt-country, indie rock, alternative and world music, hand-picked just for you – the real music fan.

KXT features between 9 and 11 hours of local programming each weekday, bringing you an eclectic variety of artists and genres, including a number of performers from North Texas and elsewhere in the Lone Star State.

I’ve only had about four or five hours of listening time since KXT’s arrival this week, and I’m liking it so far. I don’t love it yet, because I’m not the biggest alt-country fan (since there seems to be a lot songs played in this genre), but the song selection is so eclectic, interesting, and unexpected that I find myself tuning in just to hear what they’ll play next. Check out today’s playlist.

As the station continues to evolve and cater to “real music fans”, I fully expect to be tuned in on the reg. If only to escape the auto-tuned trash on the rest of the dial for five minutes.

Not in the Dallas/Fort Worth/Denton area? Dude, just listen live at kxt.org and relax.

Most of you who are interested have most likely already heard of the rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures, so I thought I’d play you a really great lesser-known track off the eponymous new album.

“Reptiles” is a tune that I think captures each of the members’ styles most succinctly. There’s a dark, creepy overtone supplied by Homme’s vocals, and even a Led Zeppelin bounce courtesy of John Paul Jones’ “Misty Mountain Hop” era bassline. Them Crooked Vultures will be touring the west coast until they head to europe in december, followed by australia in the new year.
