finally. alt rock radio returns to ottawa. it's about time.
the other day, frustrated, i seeked through the endless deadwood that is ottawa radio only to discover something fresh. the tuner stopped short at 88.5 fm. what's this? someone's playing death cab for cutie? hmm, interesting. next song. oh wow, alexisonfire, and pearl jam's corduroy, and arcade fire? did i stumble upon some euphoric musical dimension? well, sorta. it's ottawa's newest radio station - live 88.5!
since the demise of ottawa's last alt. rock station, xFm (as shitty as it was), ottawa radio has spiralled into a heavy rotation of nickelback, the hip, and hillary duff. ok, so hillary's hot but it doesn't excuse her poor attempts at song-writing.. or acting for that matter.. but not's neither here or there. and as much as i love the hip, it's becoming increasingly clear that their tunes have become obligatory canadian filler to the constant repitition of the last 5 green day singles. let's be honest, we're very sick of green day by now. think hoobastank's the reason times 3.
just tuned in again. tool. you gotta be fuckin kidding me? tool hasn't been heard on ottawa radio since x, but more importantly hasn't been followed up by something as fresh as franz ferdinand, or my chemical romance, and then succeeded by hawksley workman's jealous of your cigarette. oh boi!
check it out yourself at 88.5 fm or live885.com for the streamline.
