This keychain has seen better days but I’ll be damned if I have to get rid of it. #woxy #97x

if you were listening to #CollegeRadio in the late 80s/early 90s, you might enjoy my playlist attempting to recreate the legendary #97X #WOXY (with a little help from a friend). currently has just over 21 hrs worth of music.

worth checking as a reference for further research, if you're not a spotify person.

I really appreciate @robinjames
's work to correct the story of 80s-90s alternative music. Plenty was happening before Nirvana and in places other than Seattle. I'd like to see this more broadly contextualized to encompass the Cincinnati and Dayton club scenes at the time (y'all know I'm partial to the Warehouse, but y'all also know the myriad clubs I'm thinking about).

Radio station from Cincinnati - gone for 10 years - got everyone back together for a reunion of sorts. They are playing their top played 500 tunes from when they were on the air. Playing some Social D at the moment. If you get a chance to tune in some this weekend I think you'll get a kick out of the broadcast. Hope you're doing well!

Episode 93: Memories of the 97X station signoff in 2004
