the MAN just has no taste at all...


So if you're an Angeleno like so many of us, Indie 103.1 represented radio you always wished existed. From Jonesy's Jukebox with the Sex Pistols' Steve Jones to Community Service with the Crystal Method to Barely Legal with Joe Escalante of the Vandals, there was no base not covered that any self-respecting music lover would need. And these were just three of so many insane shows. Well the MAN finally got them down and Indie is on the radio no more. The music doesn't stop there, don't get me wrong, indie1031.fm is still bringing the goods like always. But there's something about getting in your car and always being surprised by something new, or something you haven't heard in forever and never thought would get on the radio. No tears here, just sadness for a frequency that has been home to a few incredible stations now, all cursed to end when the bean-counters came scratching at the door looking for their profits. Hit the link to experience a joy we in L.A. had for far too little time.
