Nowadays, the DJ's all talk with weird accents and they add the letter "s" to the end of many businesses that shouldn't have them like Bombay Bar & Grill, Thrifty and Lucky. However, they play local stuff sometimes which is nice.

*** I recently attended a screening hosted by KCRW, The Document. ***…read more The movie was titled "Maiden" about the Whitbread Round the World yacht race. It was a grueling open-ocean race dominated historically by only men. But in 1989, a young woman put together an all-female crew to challenge that. The Document invited hundreds of KCRW members to attend, so I RSVP'd. And I'm glad that I did. This film is inspirational. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/writers-guild-theater-beverly-hills-2?select=mGn0PJVXuasfx_E_5a1E9g I am not a woman and I don't sail, yet even I was inspired by this story. These women sailed the sea for about six months against tremendous odds (including the Southern Ocean off the coast of Antartica). Amazing! That inspires me to challenge myself much more in my life as a result. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/writers-guild-theater-beverly-hills-2?select=LMNKf0eXIqhQnlkXLtAKaw There were several food trucks and complimentary wine followed by a Q&A with the yacht captain Tracy Edwards and "Maiden" director Alex Holmes. Overall, a very nice event held at the Writer's Guild theatre. *** I don't subscribe to KCRW for its perks, but nice to partake. ;p ***

The Octopus is dead. This once decent radio station is no more. Gone forever…read more The new station, Rewind 95.9 is an abomination. Like Jack FM, Rewind 95.9 doesn't use DJs. But where Jack at least plays half way decent music, this lame station uses an automated playlist put together by a glue sniffing rhesus monkey fresh off the boat from Bangladesh. One morning last week, I gave them a listen on my way to work. I have a very short commute. All they had to do was play something that didn't suck. Just one song. And what was on? Madonna's song, Like A Virgin. Epic Fail! No, this was beyond Epic Fail. This was far more egregious. This was Sucks Out Loud! I was barely able to control the car as I flailed at the dashboard, desperate to get that crap off my radio. I finally succeeded but not before I nearly drove straight into a palm tree. What the hell, man? Freaking Madonna at 8 am? No one should ever, EVER, under any circumstances, have to listen to Madonna before they've had a tremendous amount of alcohol. And I mean a lot more than you can possibly drink before work, even if you work for the county. If I wasn't worried about how it would affect my car's resell value I'd take a hatchet and hack out the whole part of the radio dial between 95.7 and 96.1 so I never even accidently tune into this suckfest of a radio station. It appears some of the old Octopus DJs migrated to KLOS, 95.5. Good for them. Mikey C says: Get Sirius!

The station was formerly known as KRUZ 103.3 and was an adult contemporary station. In the spring…read moreof 2005, it converted into what's known as The Vibe and has been The Vibe since. This station has definitely brought back high school memories of when it was a strictly Hip-Hop station. I used to listen to it a lot back then, even when I made trips around the Central Coast knowing that this station had a clear signal through most of the Central Coast. I understand that the station has to stay relevant and has to innovate themselves, but I think the station went down when it decided that it wanted to be a Top 40 station. Maybe, I'm just getting older and that's why this station no longer appeals to me like it used to. Who knows! All I know is that this station is just not what it used to be anymore. On a side note: I find it impressive that this station's signal is so strong that it can be heard from as far south as Agoura Hills and as far north as San Luis Obispo. Although, it was spotty, I actually did manage to get signal from The Vibe as far north as Paso Robles (NOT KIDDING) which I find superb for an FM signal!
