I noticed something wonky going on yesterday, but I've only just heard the news this morning.

R.I.P
The Legendary HFS
99.1 -- The True Alternative

This is...man, I can't even collect my thoughts. HFS is gone

Mood::

::giggles:: No, a local radio station.

Yeah. It's been around in the rock/alternative genre for 36 years. It's now a Spanish-language station, due to rivalries between Infinity and Clear Channel, "changing demographics," and the paper says it's been losing ground over the past ten years but I find that incredibly hard to believe, as it's still able to finance HFStival, one of the biggest arena rock shows on the East Coast.

So sad. Apparently, there was NO warning to anyone. Just gone. *woe*

Woe indeed. Sigh. I've always preferred DC101, but still, I'm bummed.

::SOB!::

1) I hate change of all kinds.

2) I had an ongoing love/hate with HFS (and man, but I loathed the Junkies), but it was an institution, man! Sometimes they played music that I couldn't stand (at the time), sometimes they introduced me to songs I really liked -- like, recently, singles from Keane, Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand and Morrissey.

3) Had no interest in the HFStival, but a lot of kids loved that thing to death, and I feel bad that they can't go anymore.

4) Where the heck will I listen to Loveline when I'm on the East Coast? Adam and Dr. Drew = OTP.

So, yay for fans of latin music, but woe to those of us that liked the station. It's a little piece of my teen years gone. ::sniffle:: (There's a lot of pieces of my teen years I'd like to get rid of, but the rock stations aren't part of that list. :))

2. Ditto. I've always been more loyal to DC101, but HFS was my #2 pre-set and I loved it when they went all vintage '90s.
3. I never went to HFStival, mostly because there weren't enough bands I wanted to see and it was freakin' hot that time of year, but now I'm wishing I had, because the chance has been taken away from me.
4. LOVELINE! I caught it for the first time in two years around Thanksgiving. Oh, it was brilliant.

2. My morning ritual during certain mind-numbing jobs: two hours of Elliott In the Morning (I know, I know), then four hours of NPR (Diane Rehm (sp?) and Kojo). That probably says more about my psyche than anything else will. ::g:: Then, when my CDs weren't keeping me awake and I wanted music, I'd switch to HFS. I remember when they -- and everyone else in radio -- had to stay in the studio and comfort their listeners after the news of 9/11 hit. Man.

3. The tales of beer'n'boobies at HFStival didn't exactly make me come a-runnin', plus, like you said, not a lot of bands I wanted to see. Ironically, this year's Lollapalooza was the first time I was ever interested in going, so of course they cancel it. Do you remember hearing about that Gayapalooza some group was organizing? I wish that hadn't fallen through.

4. Oh, Loveline. I love how they don't even answer the callers anymore. There was one call where Drew and Adam spent the whole time trying to time the beeps coming out of the caller's faulty smoke detector.

So. Elliott/Flounder slash. A friend and I were tossing that idea around. Sexy or what?

Now that's what I call Diane's Dirt of the Day :)

haha. DC 101 is better anyways. And thank god I can't be dragged to another HFStival ever again, the last time I went I was so miserable.
