Comments on: Houston’s “New” Rock Alternative? http://www.jeffbalke.com/2008/04/21/houstons-new-rock-alternative/ Sat, 11 Oct 2008 10:59:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Katya http://www.jeffbalke.com/2008/04/21/houstons-new-rock-alternative/#comment-34010 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:09:37 +0000 http://www.jeffbalke.com/2008/04/21/houstons-new-rock-alternative/#comment-34010 When I was in college in the late 1980s/early 1990s, I went through a serious "classic rock" phase. None of the music was new, but some of it was new to me. (shout out to NBC!) It seems that the station is marketing to those who "grew up" with post-grunge rock...as well as to those young'ns who are now finding it cool to embrace the new "classic rock." Anywho, I'm still listining to Duran Duran. What do I know? ;) When I was in college in the late 1980s/early 1990s, I went through a serious “classic rock” phase.

It was 6 AM). I was surprised which might have been because it was 6 AM but it might also have been because, although I haven't really heard a note from that station since the 90s, that is not a song I would have expected them to play. Especially at 6 AM. Did I mention that it was 6 AM? What I'm trying to say is that ... it was so awesome!!! I think I need to put And Justice For All in my CD alarm clock. Tee-hee! ::undigressing:: But yeah, One is definitely not new either. What is their damage?? Weird. That's okay, they can be dumb, I'm not going to listen to it anyway. :D I haven’t listened to commercial radio for a very long time either but oddly I *did* happen to randomly hear the Buzz play One by Metallica at 6 AM this past Saturday or Sunday morning (can’t remember.
