    Once upon a very long time ago, I use to listen to this station. It was back when we had 93.3…read more(Planet). I'd listen to Planet about 80% of the time and The Big Ape about 20% of the time. But I still listened to it. When I was young, I also swore I'd always keep up with "today's music," and I'd never become one of those parents or grandparents who despised what the youth were listening to. Boy, was I even wrong!! I absolutely cannot stand the majority of the nonsense these "artists" (I use the term loosely) are putting out today. Eminem is a rapper... I'm not real sure what the hell these people like Nikki with the blue/pink/green hair think they are selling. Pop, for the most part, doesn't even sound like pop music anymore. I'm not even really sure what category to place the majority of today's "music." Personally, I'd put it in a category I call Crap! There is the occasional new music I do like from people like Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and even Miley Cyrus. I even hear a song once in a blue moon from someone I don't know that I actually like, it's just not very often. Mostly I listen to 96.9, The Eagle. 70s, 80s, and 90s. Now that's music! So yea, I have become exactly what I said I never would.... that old woman yelling, "Turn that crap off!" :D

    One thing I have not found since moving from Jacksonville is a radio station that seems to have…read morepirated my grandparents record collection to play on the air. My grandfather had this spherical blue radio from which I first heard the sounds that I would come to love. Perhaps I was crazy being the only young male listening to the easy listening hits of a bygone era, and even a few more contemporary hits remixed to the soothing mantra of Jones College. On second thought, "remix" is the wrong word. Yes, Jones College Radio became the butt of some jokes, but in the end I loved it. No noise. No distortion. No irritation. Just good music.

    I love music. Seriously, my taste is all over the map. But when it comes to radio in Fl, the…read morechoices seem to be: 1. Country 2. Hip Hop 3. Angry yelling god person All three raise my blood pressure, so I usually go left of the dial looking for the soothing, dull tones of NPR. Imagine my surprise the day I discovered Jones College Radio. People called it "elevator music", "Musak®", "Music to get your teeth extracted by". If you were young and dumb and full of... um, something, you HATED this music. But that's because you were stupid. You didn't know better. Soon you would. My love of easy listening (what Jones calls "beeautiful music") probably started around when my then gf (now wifey) dropped the needle on this Percy Faith cover of "Goin' Out of my Head". It was like having Thorazine pumped into my ears. Going out of my head? HAH! I don't think so. I can't fucking move! Anyway, it was a little much, but it made a deep impression. The real gateway drug to EL though, was undoubtedly the great Antonio Carlos Jobim, particularly the Wave record. O.M.F.G. This record is so stunningly, awfully, gorgeous that I am tearing up just thinking about it. Most of the songs clock in at around 2:30. They're just little pieces of perfection making you beg for more. I've played Mojave 20 times in a row. I know what you're thinking... "Crack". You're right. You don't hear this stuff in elevators or doctor's offices anymore. Now it's "Cool Jazz", which is right behind babies screaming, and country music as most annoying sounds on earth. Anyway, this has been all about me. The station is great. They don't play all my favorites, and sometimes I'm like "wtf is this?", but overall they do a great job of providing something that you rarely get anywhere else. WKTZ IS the best thing in Jacksonville. 90.9 is programmed on all of my car radio buttons, because really, there's nothing else on the radio, and I don't care.
