First Zen LX blog

Hello,

I'm a shy, nervous, struggling artist in my mid-30's writing a blog about the certain things in my life and the unique perspective I am trying to convey.  Some things that I write may be witty, smart, and funny; but sometimes it can be colder than ice.  Here are some of my witty lines:

"Sex is like getting a career: if you don't have experience in that field, there will be a few opportunities available."

"I could not get a perfect woman because she either has a boyfriend or is married."

 "I am in my 30's, lacking a romantic life, but have some friend who I could rely on for support... and they say I should be like Jesus".

 There will be more to come.  Enjoy.

I am so old that today's alternative rock radio is either dead or just plain shit.

From the mid-1990's to the early 2000's, alternative radio was the soundtrack to my younger years.  Here in San Diego, 91X is still the #1 alt.station for over 30 year, but now it is not relevant.  They still overplay Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Bush, blink-182, No Doubt, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, Weezer, Kings of Leon, Linkin Park, The Black Keys, Pearl Jam, etc. like it's used gum.  But they also play recent poppy crap like Kaleo, Twenty-One Pilots, Lorde, recent Coldplay, etc.  Either major radio markets play crap (like here in San Diego) or changed formats (like in Philadelphia, Dallas, and Chicago). History of my favorite defunct stations (and early years of FM 94/9) 92.5 The Flash (XHRM-FM) 1993 - 1998 In 1993, when 91X turned 10, this station made its debut.  It was run mostly by long-forgotten DJs, like Fitz, Bruce Wayne, Big Wave Dave, Randy DeWitt, Todd Kelly, Tom Perry, Bree O'Shea, John Kry...

Forgotten early 2000's alt-rock songs.

Around the time that nu-metal and garage rock/post wave revivalists dominated alt-rock radio, these gems occasionally show up on the dial. The K.G.B. - "Lover Undercover" (2001) This SoCal group has a nice little laid back song with some ska horns and a bit of Smokey Robinson into it. Caviar - "Tangerine Speedo" (2000) This band from Chicago has a great song that was featured in the "Charlie's Angels" movie.  It starts off with a bit of exotica in the verse with a rocking chorus.  Anyway, is Mello Yello great when it's mixed with gin? The Incredible Moses Leroy - "Fuzzy" (2001) San Diego's Ron Fountainberry had a act that was named in honor of his grandfather and his album, Electric Pocket Radio, is a great one to listen to.  Later, IML evolved into the Soft Lightes and had Cibo Matto's Miho Hatori contribute her vocals to one of the tracks. Toothpick - "Time Travelin' Couch" (2001) Doug Ray left Bad ...

Some forgotten 90's alt-rock songs.

Pluto - "When She Was Happy" (1996) This band from Vancouver was nominated for a Juno Award for "Best New Band". BTK - "Peppyrock" (1996) Another Juno nominee, this Toronto act (a.k.a. Birth Through Knowledge) has a fun hip-hop/rock beat and a music video that parodies Sesame Street and the Electric Company. Pfil bryte - "Merry Go Round" (1996) What I found out about him is that he's based in San Francisco, is the grandson of Woody Woodpecker creator Walter Lantz, and has a music production company (http://www.pfilbryte.com/home/).  This song has a relaxed hip-hop feel and (like a few of his other songs) mentions Disneyland.  He also did a great cover of Blood Sweat & Tears' "Spinning Wheel". Reacharound - "Big Chair" (1996) There isn't anything I could find about this band, but they do hail from Southern California and were label mates with No Doubt and Bush. Update 6/2/20: I found some more infor...
