I finally have a radio station to listen to again!

First things first: I'll post later on the Jack Johnson concert I attended Wednesday. But first...

Ever since 107.7 the X moved down the radio dial (aka just after I got home from my mission), I have struggled to listen to music on the radio. When The X @ 100.5 disappeared in favor of sports-talk, it became even tougher. Lots of this is attributable to Dave Rossi, the program director for WRAX who left in 2003. He was the one who discovered artists like Matchbox Twenty, Train, and John Mayer. Here's a good blog post talking about this, and here's a story talking about how the last program director of WRAX ran the station into the ground.

But now for the good news: there's a new station in town! Live 100.5, a AAA station, debuted this morning. Here's some of the details from al.com's Nightlife blog. Dave Rossi, the mastermind of the X, is back, too. The man who helped bring great bands to City Stages, the Crawfish Boil, and various other venues and festivals in the area is back, and I'm excited.
