WFNX officially changed over to WHBA "The Harbor" today (computers had been running the station since Friday due to paperwork issues on Clear Channel's end).

I know none of you really have any reason to care all that much, but The Phoenix, the company that owned and operated FNX, posted this great history of the station. It's a long read, but it's really fascinating. Worth the time, I think.

edit: Especially the audio clips. Really great stuff from back when radio was crucial.

"It’s like back in the day, with motherf***ers like Mozart. There wasn’t no f***ing words on that s***. It was just sounds and beautiful-ass melodies. That’s what was entertaining to people." - Kid Cudi, from this Complex interview

CRYING. Acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon

also, reading the Life is Good review, this paragraph is the truest thing Pitchfork has ever published

Life Is Good is so consistent, in fact, that it's disorienting, and those of us with a long history navigating Nas albums will have a lot of pressing questions: What are all these top-shelf beats doing here? Where are the queasy sex jams, the songs rapped from the perspective of heroin spoons or discarded E&J bottles, the choruses about being a Warrior and a Hero? Where is the blindingly ill-fitting Nas Radio Bid? (The lone example, the Swizz Beatz-produced "Summer on Smash", is just inoffensively generic.) But above all: What happened this time?

Yeah, it's a real bummer. They're going to continue streaming online, and the talent has started a new online venture with the people who own the Boston Globe, I think, but I have much less reason to ever listen to terrestrial radio now.

last five songs

PJ Harvey - Down by the Water
Pixies - Gigantic
Patti Smith - Gloria
David Bowie - Changes
The Cure - Let's Go to Bed (which was also the first song they played in 1983)

I am not ashamed to say that I started tearing up during Gigantic and started openly crying during Changes. I owe so much of my love of music to this station, it's such a goddamned shame to see it go.

My favorite radio station, WFNX, is going off the air tonight at 7pm. It's been on the air for 29 years, and was instrumental in breaking a ton of alternative bands, most notably Nirvana (and virtually any band from Boston worth mentioning), all while being independently owned and operated.

Normally, they do a free-form Friday, but since the station goes off the air tonight, they did it last night.

This is the playlist they played for their last night on the air.

http://tjconnelly.com/2012/07/20/the-last-night-of-wfnx/

It's honestly one of the best playlists I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.

Track by track

Mass Romantic > Twin Cinema
The Fake Headlines > The Bones of an Idol
Use It > The Slow Descent Into Alcoholism
The Bleeding Heart Show > Mystery Hours
Jackie, Dressed in Cobras > Jackie
Letter from an Occupant > The Jessica Numbers (this is much closer than most think)
These Are the Fables > To Wild Homes (also really close, but midcard rather than top tier)
Sing Me Spanish Techno > The Body Says No
Execution Day > Falling Through Your Clothes
Broken Beads > Centre for the Holy Wars
The Mary Martin Show > Three or Four
Star Bodies > Breakin' the Law

Now, Twin Cinema has two more tracks - Streets of Fire and Stacked Crooked, which are better than almost everything in the first 12. If we replaced them in for weaker songs...

Streets of Fire > Execution Day > Falling Through Your Clothes
Stacked Crooked > The Mary Martin Show > Three or Four

something like that

we're actually coming up on the Season that contains 2 of my 5 favorite beers

Sam Adams Oktoberfest and Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale

and by coming up on I mean 3 months away :(

you should try to get your hands on Shipyard's Pumpkinhead, it's like those but better.

also, Frangelic Mountain is pretty good.

Stella Artois is the beer people drink when they want people to think they like good beer.

Yuengling is great. One of the best values in beer, certainly.

Left Hand makes some tremendous brews.

Newcastle is a solid beer, but it is overrated, I think.

Arrogant Bastard is amazing both in name and quality.

Scum Mayor would still be beneficial to town if it was used to save someone who wasn't scum, though.

Scum mayor at N v 1 would actually be kinda cruel

Scum Mayor technically doesn't inherently punish Town for a scum lynch. Scum Mayor's mean because mayor is considered confirmable town - like Prosty used to be.

God, you people are insufferable. There are almost no comedies in which the first three episodes are at all indicative of any show's quality, or potential. Especially animated shows.

--
http://i.imgur.com/u4tZA.gif

The first A++ caliber episode is Art Crawl, which I know was not in the first 3.

That said, the first three are really solid for an animated show. Better than The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, two of South Park's first three, and at least one of Futurama's first three.
