Wakka Wakka!

Okay, so I've listened to the new Pixies single, "Bam Thwok," about a hundred times today. They got all sneaky and released it on iTunes the other night, but you can find it here & there on the internet, or so I've been told. Look for a solo by Joey Santiago's dad. Yes!

In other news...

One of my favorite radio stations ever, Cincinatti's WOXY, is coming back! They were sold a few months ago and went off the air in early May. They also couldn't afford to keep up their internet presence, but things seem to be changing for the better! Here's the memo dorky fans like myself got today:

No typo. It's the real deal, y'all! 97X The Future of Rock and Roll will be returning to the Internet in a few weeks!

Kind fate has sent us two dedicated listeners with the vision and courage to step up as partners to fund the continued broadcast of 97X The Future of Rock and Roll over the Internet.

These magnanimous folks want to remain anonymous, but they feel passionately about "doing the right thing" and "doing good work," and we are the lucky recipients of their generous spirit.

Like Phoenix rising from the ashes, 97X - just as we have always loved it - will be returning soon. It will take us a few weeks to get set up for the future, but be assured that Mike and Barb and Shiv and Bryan Jay are already hard at work to bring it all back.

Keep checking woxy.com for updates ... we'll announce an air date just as soon as we know it.

Give a little shout of thanks to our "angels" - and stay tuned!
