Gone are the days of The Ramones, Siouxie and the Banshees, The Smiths, Oingo Boingo, The The, INXS, The Divinals, UB40, Book Of Love, The Smashing Pumpkins, and so many more artists to mention. Steve Masters was the DJ, my favorite, nowadays he reviews Video Games or something related. There was a morning show. It was classified as "New Wave" but then it changed to "Modern Rock." I still have the logo keychain and I remember the bumper stickers that I slapped on my Toyota rubber bumper. I heard 1990s alternative and today's alternative music. There was no edge to it. It's disappointing.

After a four year yoga retreat Live 105 is back. One star for NoName and one for Aaron Axelsen…read more On my Jetta I've got 18 FM presets and so 105.3 got one years and years ago when I got my car. Engine runs so smooth. Even when it turned into this Bollywood station I would still listen to it from time to time. I got a kick out of the advertisements - always the same ones - I remember this realtor speaking highly of herself - shameless promotion in her heavy accent while speaking English. So one day I'm minding my own business shuffling through all the stations frantically and I recognize NoNames voice. I couldn't believe it. No more Bollywood for me. Turns out they were on a yoga retreat. He said so himself. Right when the station returned they had the 1800 number to call in with your opinions during every ad session. Listening to it again was almost like getting in a time machine and going back ten years. I even felt ten years younger again in an instant. Who knew? Potions and lotions and botox had nothing on listening to this station. They recycled the same 15 songs and played them on a loop just like they always had. It was so familiar - very soothing. At the same time it was very very terrible - not like a train derailment - but maybe like a child scribbling some ugly piece of art. Bad but in a good way. One star for NoName. Love the guy. I remember when I met him. He looks just as you would imagine him to look from knowing his voice only. I got some concert tickets from him for knowing some band trivia questions on air. One star for Aaron Axelsen. Sound check is probably one of the only good reasons to listen. Sunday evenings from 8 - 10. New stuff. Interesting stuff. Local stuff. Its not better than Barbara Streissand but its different. All these years had passed. My Jetta now officially slowly slipped into heapdoom status. Saggy headliner, engine light, a knock here and there in the suspension and a big dent on the drivers door from when I had to take Mr Moose to the emergency room and time was of the essence. Engine still runs so smooth but the interior stinks. I'm not sure if Mr Moose did something in there or maybe the a/c evaporator core drain is clogged. It stinks and I don't think I'm going to fix it for it to pass its next smog check. I'm either going to spritz some freshner in it and dump it on CL or donate it to my favorite Cantonese radio station in San Jose. They gave me a shen yun calendar last time. I enjoyed that all year. Nothing can be depended on anymore in life except for Coupe Deville's and that 1053 button in my Jetta.

Highlighting horrendous acts to demonize entire communities is not only irresponsible but also cruel. As someone who has trusted and enjoyed your station for so long, I'm ashamed to hear such an atrocity broadcast on your airwaves. This kind of messaging fuels division and harm, and it has no place on a station that claims to serve and reflect the Bay Area community. If this is the kind of content you choose to air, I cannot continue to support Alice @97.3. I will also share my disappointment with others so they can make informed choices about what they listen to. I urge you to reconsider the standards and values you uphold in your advertising choices.

I've learned alot about San Francisco from many a cab driver. Alot of them have lived in San Francisco for years and have the stories to back it up. Two that I've come across both partied with Janis Joplin back in the day, another pays $200 for a 2br (sigh, rent control), and countless others have painted pictures of what the Mission and the Haight once was back in the day. But my favorite thing about San Francisco cabs is the radio. I can't get enough of it. Of course there has been many a cab driver playing stuff that makes me want to get out right there wihout tip (i always tip though). But as of late, I've been really smitten by the stuff crooning during my cab rides. And apparently it's because everyone's listening to 106.9. 106.9 plays the classics. Not the cheesy stuff. But the good stuff. The kind that encourages you to tell the cabbie to take the long way around, just so you can hear Tiny Dancer all the way through.

The ones that make you feel sad in that achingly sweet nostalgic way. The ones you haven't heard in a long time and you hear them and you think wow those guys were really good musicians. An interesting DJ who digs around for little gems like the original recording of Peggy Sue Got Married that Buddy Holly did in his apartment with one mic and a tape recorder. They recently had Big Baby Day where all the songs had Baby in the title. Now let's all relax, have a Cherry Coke with our steady and enjoy the oldies because They Are Back.
