Agreed, Hot 97 is disappointing now. I used to listen to it all the time
as well, then it faded to just "Old School At Noon" and "Funkarama
Thursday" nights. Now I can't take it, it's the same shit over and over
and over. Talk about getting programmed...
I do have to say 98.7 Kiss can be sweet. It was most amazing a few years
ago when Roger was still alive and doing his "Uptown Saturday Night" right
into Jay "Mixin'" Dixon's "Kiss Club Classics." I have a ton of tapes from
then. It's since been replaced by the Allen brothers doing "Saturday Night
House Party" which can be really good but also lame in spots - which
Roger's show never was. However Saturday nights bring out a lot of amazing
music - some pre-techno "Detroit"-style sounds, like Was Not Was, Kano and
Kraftwerk.
