Rich Seymour’s stochastic statements.

Man, radio in LA sucks. Basically this is a given. Sure, KDAY is back and that’s cool. There are some good college stations, but the transmission is short and well, they just play CMJ tracks. Indie 103.1 is a reformed ‘modern rock’ format station with the added bonus of some celeb hosts, like Rob Zombie and Henry Rollins.

Now, they also have the Mighty Morning Show with Dicky Barrett. He may not be a household name, but he’s the lead singer of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Boston area ska-punk supergroup. I’ve seen them at least a couple times and they always put on a good show. Now you’d think that maybe he would suck on the radio, but he was great. Apparently too great, cause the powers that be at 103.1 let him go. Yesterday and today just some modern rock shlock. Exhibit A. It was a really good morning show, self aware and self deprecating and really funny. Plus he’d actually answer the phone when you called in. Maybe I’m the only loser who calls radio stations, but whatever.

Um… here are the lyrics to Pictures To Prove It by the bosstones.

Lot’s of other LA area blogs are covering this as well.
