Podcasts about 91x

In this episode, we're talking about one of my favorite bands from when I was in high school, The Fixx. We will also dig into my favorite Fixx album, Reach The Beach. When I moved to North County San Diego, in Oceanside California, I was exposed to new music from the alternative station 91X out of San Diego, and friends—especially my friend J.D. who was also a big fan of The Fixx. I heard a lot of their stuff on 91X, and J.D. copied me some of their early albums, and I became a big fan.

I firmly believe that both mainstream Rock and Roll and Hip Hop died in the year 2000. That said, I have a genuine soft spot for the early days of Skratch 'N Sniff's blends before they started putting dubstep drops on everything and I lost interest after 2010. They used to post their edits on a now-defunct site as full tracks, and at some point around 2008 or so, I grabbed as many as I could and tucked them away for safekeeping. It's time to give Skratch 'N Sniff their flowers. I'm not sure if they're still on San Diego's 91X, where I first found them in 2003, but their weekly remix show is nationwide now. I should check in and see what they've been up to.

What's your most loved and least favorite song on Guided By Voices' 492nd album Bee Thousand?! Adam overcame his fear of assigning a 20 song record because he felt we needed to do more indie classics. Fun to hear his three co-hosts' take on a challenging 1994 lo-fi listen that was once named by Amazon music writers as the #1 indie album of all-time. We get a surprise Zoom visit from longtime 91X program director Garett Michaels (check out an extra ten minutes of his golden throat soon on Youtube) and remote opinions from Jon Wurster (Superchunk/Mountain Goats/Best Show) and Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows).  Request episode results before the end credits!

Marco Collins may be best known as the Music Director at KNDD/The End in Seattle during the height of the grunge era. His career actually started at 91X in San Diego, but he had to commute to the station, located in Tijuana, Mexico, to get to his overnight shift. It's part glamour and part squalor. The Glamour & The Squalor also happens to be the name of his own documentary. We're treated to a look into the life of Marco Collins, and we give him a chance to share his love of 80s music, as we discuss songs from the 1987 KROQ year-end chart.

In this episode, host Dave Fiore speaks with Erica Thaler, chief marketing officer at RB Oppenheim Associates and former communications and marketing manager at the Council on Culture & Arts. Erica grew up in San Diego, where she raced catamarans and was a self-proclaimed horse girl who loved being an ‘80s kid because it included trips to Mexico to “practice her Spanish.” Erica majored in political science at UCLA and started her 30-year career in radio as an account executive at 91X, the country's second alternative rock station. After moving to Tallahassee, she and her two children started taking music lessons, and Erica spent 10 years playing the violin, some of that time with the Tallahassee Symphony Youth Orchestra, an organization she would eventually lead. Erica is a wife, modern quilter, dog lover and passionate advocate for the arts who is excited about her new role doing what she has always done – effectively connecting people and resources to help them be successful.

She was also the Music Director of 91X, Assistant Program Director of 100.7, and has been a club DJ for over 15 years.  Robin chats with Troy about her history on radio, her upcoming DJ events, getting into radio, favorite bands, best concerts, and much more! Video of this episode is available on the Palapalooza YouTube channel.

You might recognize my guest's voice if you ever turned on a radio in San Diego; from his days at 91X all the way to killing it as 100.7FM's morning show host, Chris Cantore has been one of the most distinct voices to come across the airwaves. Unfortunately, he and his co-host, Meryl, were victims of what I like to call the Great San Diego Radio Station Purge of 2019. For those of you not familiar, about 98% of San Diego's local radio talent lost their shows when stations shifted to nationally syndicated shows that offered the same canned bullshit catering to the lowest common denominator we've been subjected to for decades. Of course, we all know what happened at the end of 2019/beginning of 2020, so he had some time on his hands. For us creatives, idle hands are the devil's toys, so he looked for alternative outlets for his creative energies. One of those outlets is the animated short, The Arlo Show. It follows the adventures of Arlo (voiced by Cantore), who takes a bad acid trip in 1971 and winds up waking up in 2021. Harassed by local beat cop, Officer Mahoney (voiced by SoCal legend Chris Coté), Arlo must now learn how to navigate 2021 after his 50-year Ichabod Crane. CannaBlogger's Corner is sponsored by: Better Homes with Cannabis. Yani Amaya, the Hazey Lioness, has taken her cannabis photography to another level by using it in a stylish home décor design that would look fabulous in any home. This isn't a Marley poster in your dorm room; Better Homes with Cannabis is tasteful home décor with a cannabis theme. w0lfpack LLC and their super talented Creators are featuring a different product.

Phil Manning started at the very bottom of the totem pole at 97X shortly after he graduated from college in 1988. He began with a single weekend overnight shift but gradually worked his way up to program director, and had that role at 97X for nearly five years during the halcyon days of the early to mid 90s. Phil talks about how he got the gig, his interesting side jobs, his roommates, his "whopping" salary and how he became a "radio vagabond" in several major markets after departing 97X in 1994, including spending 10+ years at The End in Seattle and a stint at 91X in San Diego.

Sometimes the universe sees fit to allow an opening in the dynamic schedules of our colleges to coalesce with ours, at the exact moment in time for greatness to happen! I'm very grateful the infinite wisdom of the powers that be graced us with such an occasion last Wednesday night at Latchkey Brewing. Thank you once again to Latchkey for allowing us to record at their place!On this show, we are joined by Danielle and Abel from Beer For Breakfast on 91X! It was delightful hanging out with these perennial supporters of the San Diego craft beer industry. Abel does drop a bummer of an update in there but there's also a lot of laughter.This is the type of show that reminds me how special the SD beer community is; I've never been invited by another contractor to collaborate on a home remodeling project, for example. There's several options for your indie/craft beer radio and podcasting needs here and it's really awesome that we're all friends.That delightful beer in your fridge isn't going to drink itself, go get it, and hit the play button! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Is this upload schedule throwing you for a loop? Well you’re not alone, we are also confused by it! Anyways, Patrick landed us an interview with local San Diego broadcast legend Tim Pyles over at the 91X radio studio. (So I guess you could say we’re a big deal now.) Also, Justin goes on a weird tangent about the CW (formerly WB) proto-superhero television show, Smallville. Babes, music, extremely local refrences, and general hijinks ensue.

Matthew Phillips is an accomplished musician AND producer who's NOT too good for the Dusty Futon! This homegrown San Diegan has already made a name for himself (HIS name) by performing at KAABOO, Coachella, and a massive European Discovery tour!  Spicy Kim has stalked him for MONTHS trying to get him on...and our schedules finally matched up.  His music has already been featured in an award winning movie at Sundance...and he hasn't released an album!  It's all singles and debuts here on The Dusty Futon, even thought Tim Pyles of 91X got to him first (as usual)... Matthew started young with his concert pianist Grandma recognizing his talent for picking out melodies and getting him into music quickly.  His love for women got him into guitar, and his love for music got him writing.  Thanks to a myriad of influences from nearly every genre he developed his own unique sound.  We talk about his traveling on his Discovery Tour (including a BEATLES reference) and how his experience in a band taught him what he was doing wrong while playing a few of his singles.  You can follow him and listen to more music at www.matthewphillipsmusic.com  10:01 - "So In Love" 27:20 - "Together Forever" 44:38 - "Goodbye" The Dusty Futon, LLC is focused on providing free tools and exposure to LOCAL and INDEPENDENT artists in the Southern California through networking.

I had to dig deep into my CDs collection for this mix. 1997 was a dope year. I was living the life in San Diego serving on the USS Constellation. San Diego had a sweet music scene along with a great local rock station (91X, still there and dope as ever). This mix consists of bands that I was banging hard in my Discman that year. Some of them I found on my own and some were pushed on me by enthusiastic fans at the time. Quicksand came to my attention due to the skinny, gap punk, a-hole who used to date my sister and with whom I was stuck on a cross country road trip that year. Veruca Salt were my pretend girlfriends at the time, and some nice young lady who I met in Australia later mailed a mixtape to me with much of the first Powderfinger CD on it, for instance. All of these bands were slept on in their day. P.S. In 1997, I was obsessed with Ænima but feel that Tool is too mainstream for this mix so they're represented by the ridiculous opening track. Enjoy and be careful as you rock out with your thing out:) Tool - Ænima Intermission Quicksand - Fazer Powderfinger - Give Veruca Salt - Awesome Failure - Heliotropic Rocket From The Crypt - Heater Hands Veruca Salt - With David Bowie Quicksand - Thorn In My Side Powderfinger - Turtle's Head Rocket From The Crypt - On A Rope Many More . . . I went by DJ alt.rock for 10 years as a tongue-in-cheek diss at lazy rock & roll radio program directors "discovering" '90s alternative rock in the late aughts. DJ alt.rock was also a nod to early rap names that usually contained either "rock" or "ski"... Never in a million years did I imagine that the prefix "alt-" would be so drastically ruined by a former reality TV clown, but that's exactly what happened in 2016/17... I've done my best to clear that name from as many mixes and artwork as possible, but some sets have so many alt.rock DJ-drops in them that I've opted to just post this notice and keep it moving. From now on, I'm using my first name, because nobody can mess it up (other than myself).

Former New Orleans Radio DJ (WZRH 106.1 The Zephyr) Ross Shields opens up about Bipolar Disorder, Cancer, Hurricane Katrina, and living with Don, his cat who has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Before getting to the Bipolar Disorder stuff, meet Ross Shields: Selling shoes isn’t easy in Louisiana.  It might be the humidity or it might not.  Shields is neither a Meteorologist nor a Podiatrist.  Despite these challenges, he chased his dream of being a shoe salesman in Louisiana.  When that didn’t work out, he took a job as a disc jockey at an Alternative Rock radio station in New Orleans.  He then moved on to a job at 91X, a San Diego radio station, where he enjoyed talking to all manner of real and imaginary people on the air. Then illness took over. As Ross lost touch with what was real on and off the radio, he began abusing drugs and alcohol.  The combination of the mental illness and substances proved to be too much for him to continue with his career.  He became less interested in playing records on the radio, and more interested in devoting his time to two of his passions: crushing his own skull with a jackhammer, and pulling out his fingernails with pliers.  Normal stuff. Then he moved back to Louisiana.  Then cancer came along.  Then Katrina hit, and it was difficult for Ross to receive medical care.  All he had was his illness and his cat Don, who struggled with Borderline Personality Disorder. After years away from radio, Ross decided to open the doors to Psych Ward.  “Dr. Ross” is the Doctor, the Patient, and the Superintendent.  Check yourself into Psych Ward and let Dr. Ross take a good, long look at your dendrites.  Ross will use his lack of clarity to dispense advice to people, be they real or imaginary.  Or both. Want more Psych ward?  Click here and dive right in.  Also, check out some of the other cool shows we make here at It’s New Orleans.
