oconnellmd is not really sure about that:
My radio station just switched formats! WTF? Okay, it's not MY station. I don't own it or work there or anything. KWOD 106.5 has been a staple in Sacramento forEVer. It's the main outlet for alternative music. Can't tell you how many bands I discovered through them over the years.
However, Tony B. thinks differently:
Second Rate Blog Tuesday, May 26, 2009 Post #200: Death of Music Well, this is my 200th post and I have something very important to talk about- how this terrible economy is affecting music on the radio. Many of you might tell me to get satellite radio, or just listen to my iPod, but I think it's important to have decent music on the radio. It's important to have variety and not for every station to sound exactly the same.

Similarly, dubs adds:
MC Rut, as they are referred to in short, consists of Zach Lopez on guitar and vocals and Sean Stockham on drums and back up vocals. That’s right, they’re a duo. But before you make up your mind based on all the preconceived notions of what a duo can and can’t do, hear me out. They aren’t the White Stripes and they sure as hell aren’t Hella. The energy that is harnessed by these two is stadium caliber, as was witnessed by a huge crowd at the Rock-am-Ring festival in Germany last June. Cesar Chavez Park isn’t exactly a stadium, but it isn’t The Press Club either, and I’ve seen the boys murder that tiny venue to a crowd of 20 on a Sunday night. The point? They’re a versatile band that owns any crowd, and Friday night was no different.
In other words, dubs puts it this way:
During what seemed like the crux of the set, a murder of crows flew overhead to the wafting soundtrack of Lopez’s guitar that melodramatically pulsed in synch with the beating of their wings. “Hold the person you love tight,†Lopez instructed the mesmerized crowd who were eating out of his hand at this point. “I like the way your shirt’s unbuttoned,†Stockham joked with Lopez. Their humor on stage is evidence alone that these two have been friends and bandmates for over a decade now. They seem to be enjoying every moment of their second chance at success after their previous band, Leisure, was signed to and then dropped from Dreamworks.
However, Tony B. thinks differently:
May 26, 2009 12:15 PM GMoney said... Ah yes, but there is the conundrum. The music that you like is probably not very profitable for the stations to secure advertising. Wilco is solid but only to a select group of music fans. Susie Secretary isn't going to pump that up in the office.
As a result of that, Tony B. belives:
May 26, 2009 2:40 PM Clarkster said... tony you said it perfectly KWOD has been my number 1 preset since i've had a damn car and i'm pissed. now I didn't love KWOD as much as I did in it's heyday of 90's alternitive rock but it was still a quality radio station and my go to. I guess i'm going to be sticking to AM sports talk for good

Kwod From: Dubs Drainu182 Oconnellmd Tony B. \m/ Dave \m/ /25798853
dubs explains:
Before their final song, a white tank top was hucked onto the stage, landing at the feet of Lopez, who remarked that he’d rather they get some bras and panties. And, like clockwork, a black strapless bra made its way to the stage. Stockham was pleased and proceeded to strap the bra on himself with a little help from Lopez, who was all smiles at his bandmate’s cross-dressing showmanship. The familiar metallic percussion that opens “New Low†began, and at that point the whole crowd was in it. They sang every last word of the tune with fists pumping and heads nodding.
drainu182 intervenes and adds:

\m/ Dave \m/ brings a word of caution:
As the years passed, the differences between the stations blurred. That included 98 Rock's parent company buying up KWOD and a slow integration of similar music between the two stations. With the gradual rise of hip-hip/R&B and the death of rock through the flash of grunge, both stations played the same new music with some crossover of the older stuff. No longer was KWOD not playing Metallica. Even 98 Rock played some songs that probably wouldn't have made it on a previous format. Sadly, it looks like this played some part in

Now 106.5 is called "the Buzz" and I have already heard Dr. Dre, Ini Kamozi ("Here Come The Hotstepper"), and The Fresh Prince (w/ DJ Jazzy Jeff, of course.) As much as I'd love to listen to "Summertime by the Fresh Prince, I'm taking a stand. I will not listen to the Buzz. I would not mind this station if it was number seven on my car presets and didn't interfere with what was formally known as KWOD.

Despite the previous arguments, Tony B. has many reasons to think otherwise:
I'm not sure if this all steams back to the economy, or if it is harder for stations to get people to listen, but they are not helping themselves in the long run. They obviously have a business to run, but lowering short term costs by letting Johnny 5 run the station will ultimately decrease your overall listener base. Sure, I could be wrong for right now- but as the all 90s gimmick gets old and people tire of Sir Mix-A-Lot, KWOD may make another comeback. Only this time, it may be harder to regain your loyal listeners. I know for a fact my iPod has better music than you're willing to play anyway...

Entercom changing KWOD's format. I know there had been quite a turnover in on-air talent and morning shows in the past few years on KWOD while 98 Rock had the "Rob, Arnie, and Dawn Show" that apparently has done wonderfully in the ratings. I have a feeling that KWOD's writing was on the wall for some time.

Though I have never been a fan of KWOD's offerings (when I would have listened to it in the past 20 years or so), it's sad to see a station fade away. The lack of good station choices around here bothers me. With the demise of KWOD, all we have left is KRXQ and 96.9 The Eagle. KRXQ doesn't play enough alternative to keep that segment of society happy, and The Eagle has become more AOR but covering '60s-'80s and hard rock from '80s forward. It concerns me as to what they'll do to 98 Rock to possibly compensate. I also wonder if some other changes will occur that may be more drastic in these trying times. Either way, Sacramento needs a solid alternative presence. Maybe it'll get absorbed into a Top 40, but then the people who want to hear the Cure without having to hear Britney Spears will be out of luck.

Tony B. notices:
So besides me just being angry that "the Man" wrecked my number one FM preset, I've noticed a terrible trend in radio. They are canning DJs left and right, Adam Carolla even got the boot, and playing essentially iPod play lists with commercials. It's like SkyNet is taking over the radio! I have a feeling if radio station computers have already become self-aware, then they must really like Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Katy Perry, and Flo Rida. Note to self: become a pop star so the machines won't kill me when they decide to take over.
For example, dubs considers:
Last Friday’s Concert in the Park Series at Cesar Chavez saw the triumphant return of Middle Class Rut, another long-awaited addition to the short list of bands that have found mainstream success beyond our county lines. This success is partly due to the overwhelming response to their 2008 single, “New Low,†that was played almost nonstop on the now-defunct KWOD 106.5. The stoner-friendly, alternative radio station was a huge proponent of the band. In fact, one year ago on the same exact stage, KWOD DJ Andy Hawk announced them before they hit the stage to a much smaller crowd.
Tony B. brings more details:
I'm not sure if this all steams back to the economy, or if it is harder for stations to get people to listen, but they are not helping themselves in the long run. They obviously have a business to run, but lowering short term costs by letting Johnny 5 run the station will ultimately decrease your overall listener base.

Though I have never been a fan of KWOD's offerings (when I would have listened to it in the past 20 years or so), it's sad to see a station fade away. The lack of good station choices around here bothers me. With the demise of KWOD, all we have left is KRXQ and 96.9 The Eagle. KRXQ doesn't play enough alternative to keep that segment of society happy, and The Eagle has become more AOR but covering '60s-'80s and hard rock from '80s forward. It concerns me as to what they'll do to 98 Rock to possibly compensate. I also wonder if some other changes will occur that may be more drastic in these trying times. Either way, Sacramento needs a solid alternative presence. Maybe it'll get absorbed into a Top 40, but then the people who want to hear the Cure without having to hear Britney Spears will be out of luck.

For this reason, drainu182 says:

Tony B. notices:
So besides me just being angry that "the Man" wrecked my number one FM preset, I've noticed a terrible trend in radio. They are canning DJs left and right, Adam Carolla even got the boot, and playing essentially iPod play lists with commercials. It's like SkyNet is taking over the radio! I have a feeling if radio station computers have already become self-aware, then they must really like Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Katy Perry, and Flo Rida. Note to self: become a pop star so the machines won't kill me when they decide to take over.
For example, dubs considers:
Last Friday’s Concert in the Park Series at Cesar Chavez saw the triumphant return of Middle Class Rut, another long-awaited addition to the short list of bands that have found mainstream success beyond our county lines. This success is partly due to the overwhelming response to their 2008 single, “New Low,†that was played almost nonstop on the now-defunct KWOD 106.5. The stoner-friendly, alternative radio station was a huge proponent of the band. In fact, one year ago on the same exact stage, KWOD DJ Andy Hawk announced them before they hit the stage to a much smaller crowd.
Tony B. brings more details:
I'm not sure if this all steams back to the economy, or if it is harder for stations to get people to listen, but they are not helping themselves in the long run. They obviously have a business to run, but lowering short term costs by letting Johnny 5 run the station will ultimately decrease your overall listener base. Sure, I could be wrong for right now- but as the all 90s gimmick gets old and people tire of Sir Mix-A-Lot, KWOD may make another comeback. Only this time, it may be harder to regain your loyal listeners. I know for a fact my iPod has better music than you're willing to play anyway...

Kwod From: Tony B. Oconnellmd \m/ Dave \m/ Dubs Drainu182 /25798833
Still being unsure, Tony B. asks:
May 26, 2009 12:15 PM GMoney said... Ah yes, but there is the conundrum. The music that you like is probably not very profitable for the stations to secure advertising. Wilco is solid but only to a select group of music fans. Susie Secretary isn't going to pump that up in the office.
oconnellmd thinks that the problem is:
My radio station just switched formats! WTF? Okay, it's not MY station. I don't own it or work there or anything. KWOD 106.5 has been a staple in Sacramento forEVer. It's the main outlet for alternative music. Can't tell you how many bands I discovered through them over the years.

Having that in mind, dubs wonders:
During what seemed like the crux of the set, a murder of crows flew overhead to the wafting soundtrack of Lopez’s guitar that melodramatically pulsed in synch with the beating of their wings. “Hold the person you love tight,†Lopez instructed the mesmerized crowd who were eating out of his hand at this point. “I like the way your shirt’s unbuttoned,†Stockham joked with Lopez. Their humor on stage is evidence alone that these two have been friends and bandmates for over a decade now. They seem to be enjoying every moment of their second chance at success after their previous band, Leisure, was signed to and then dropped from Dreamworks.

dubs does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:

As dubs says:
Before their final song, a white tank top was hucked onto the stage, landing at the feet of Lopez, who remarked that he’d rather they get some bras and panties. And, like clockwork, a black strapless bra made its way to the stage. Stockham was pleased and proceeded to strap the bra on himself with a little help from Lopez, who was all smiles at his bandmate’s cross-dressing showmanship. The familiar metallic percussion that opens “New Low†began, and at that point the whole crowd was in it. They sang every last word of the tune with fists pumping and heads nodding.
In contrast, \m/ Dave \m/ replies:
As the years passed, the differences between the stations blurred. That included 98 Rock's parent company buying up KWOD and a slow integration of similar music between the two stations. With the gradual rise of hip-hip/R&B and the death of rock through the flash of grunge, both stations played the same new music with some crossover of the older stuff. No longer was KWOD not playing Metallica. Even 98 Rock played some songs that probably wouldn't have made it on a previous format. Sadly, it looks like this played some part in

As much as I'd love to listen to "Summertime by the Fresh Prince, I'm taking a stand. I will not listen to the Buzz. I would not mind this station if it was number seven on my car presets and didn't interfere with what was formally known as KWOD. Until they change it back (it happened before, it can happen again) I'm officially banning 106.5 from my radio dial.

Kwod From: Drainu182 Dubs Tony B. Oconnellmd \m/ Dave \m/ /25798837
drainu182 is rather skeptical:
5. Cage The Elephant - Ain t No Rest For The Wicked 6. The Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight
dubs points out another thing aside from that:
MC Rut, as they are referred to in short, consists of Zach Lopez on guitar and vocals and Sean Stockham on drums and back up vocals. That’s right, they’re a duo. But before you make up your mind based on all the preconceived notions of what a duo can and can’t do, hear me out. They aren’t the White Stripes and they sure as hell aren’t Hella. The energy that is harnessed by these two is stadium caliber, as was witnessed by a huge crowd at the Rock-am-Ring festival in Germany last June. Cesar Chavez Park isn’t exactly a stadium, but it isn’t The Press Club either, and I’ve seen the boys murder that tiny venue to a crowd of 20 on a Sunday night. The point? They’re a versatile band that owns any crowd, and Friday night was no different.
Still not being convi nced, dubs replies:

oconnellmd explains:
My radio station just switched formats! WTF? Okay, it's not MY station. I don't own it or work there or anything. KWOD 106.5 has been a staple in Sacramento forEVer. It's the main outlet for alternative music. Can't tell you how many bands I discovered through them over the years.

Kwod From: Dubs Tony B. \m/ Dave \m/ Drainu182 Oconnellmd /25798848
But dubs has a different opinion:
Before their final song, a white tank top was hucked onto the stage, landing at the feet of Lopez, who remarked that he’d rather they get some bras and panties. And, like clockwork, a black strapless bra made its way to the stage. Stockham was pleased and proceeded to strap the bra on himself with a little help from Lopez, who was all smiles at his bandmate’s cross-dressing showmanship. The familiar metallic percussion that opens “New Low†began, and at that point the whole crowd was in it. They sang every last word of the tune with fists pumping and heads nodding.
Tony B. brings more details:
Second Rate Blog Tuesday, May 26, 2009 Post #200: Death of Music Well, this is my 200th post and I have something very important to talk about- how this terrible economy is affecting music on the radio. Many of you might tell me to get satellite radio, or just listen to my iPod, but I think it's important to have decent music on the radio. It's important to have variety and not for every station to sound exactly the same.
In other words, dubs puts it this way:
During what seemed like the crux of the set, a murder of crows flew overhead to the wafting soundtrack of Lopez’s guitar that melodramatically pulsed in synch with the beating of their wings. “Hold the person you love tight,†Lopez instructed the mesmerized crowd who were eating out of his hand at this point. “I like the way your shirt’s unbuttoned,†Stockham joked with Lopez. Their humor on stage is evidence alone that these two have been friends and bandmates for over a decade now. They seem to be enjoying every moment of their second chance at success after their previous band, Leisure, was signed to and then dropped from Dreamworks.
In response, \m/ Dave \m/ claims:
Though I have never been a fan of KWOD's offerings (when I would have listened to it in the past 20 years or so), it's sad to see a station fade away. The lack of good station choices around here bothers me. With the demise of KWOD, all we have left is KRXQ and 96.9 The Eagle. KRXQ doesn't play enough alternative to keep that segment of society happy, and The Eagle has become more AOR but covering '60s-'80s and hard rock from '80s forward. It concerns me as to what they'll do to 98 Rock to possibly compensate. I also wonder if some other changes will occur that may be more drastic in these trying times. Either way, Sacramento needs a solid alternative presence. Maybe it'll get absorbed into a Top 40, but then the people who want to hear the Cure without having to hear Britney Spears will be out of luck.
Tony B. points out another t hing aside from that:
May 26, 2009 11:43 AM Tony B. said... I actually want good, creative radio (no, Dingo and the Baby do not qualify)- I want them to play great cutting edge music with radio personalities who interject intelligent banter in between songs. Do I ask too much? Probably...
For this purpose, Tony B. suggests:
May 26, 2009 4:51 PM Tony B. said... I agree- it's AM Sports talk or bust at this point... don't think AM Sports talk is immune to this kind of crap, though. Look at how much Damon Bruce has been limited these days and you'll see it's an epidemic.
dubs intervenes and adds:

However, Tony B. states that:

I'm not sure if this all steams back to the economy, or if it is harder for stations to get people to listen, but they are not helping themselves in the long run. They obviously have a business to run, but lowering short term costs by letting Johnny 5 run the station will ultimately decrease your overall listener base. Sure, I could be wrong for right now- but as the all 90s gimmick gets old and people tire of Sir Mix-A-Lot, KWOD may make another comeback. Only this time, it may be harder to regain your loyal listeners. I know for a fact my iPod has better music than you're willing to play anyway...

While it may be true, dubs thinks:
Last Friday’s Concert in the Park Series at Cesar Chavez saw the triumphant return of Middle Class Rut, another long-awaited addition to the short list of bands that have found mainstream success beyond our county lines. This success is partly due to the overwhelming response to their 2008 single, “New Low,†that was played almost nonstop on the now-defunct KWOD 106.5. The stoner-friendly, alternative radio station was a huge proponent of the band. In fact, one year ago on the same exact stage, KWOD DJ Andy Hawk announced them before they hit the stage to a much smaller crowd.
