I think a week from now it could still be Cage The Elephant for one more week. We shall see.

Should be an interesting week for chart watching. I'd like for all three songs to get a turn at the top, because I like all of them.

There are a few stations that'll probably hold out on M&S. Mine will be leading the way! I can't even believe that they bothered putting "Little Lion Man" on the bottom rung of their year-end countdown when, to my knowledge, they never played it outside of Out of Order or the new music hour they do once a week. The absence of great songs like Mumford's singles, for instance, to the gain of generic, limited-to-non-crossover active rock crap is seriously why I barely even listen to it anymore.

As much I love this song, to be fair, this probably isn't "alternative rock" as some people have come to know it.

Which is good. Why should "alternative" have to be considered a "rock" format when there already are rock formats?

^ I guess... but I think the bigger problem is alternative radio's taste in rock music. If alternative goes all Indie, and active rock continues to lean cock-rock / crappy post-grunge, then there'll be no format left for some pretty damn good alternative metal that just 7 years ago had been the biggest genre on BOTH formats. I wish it could divide into three formats: indie/alternative, rock/metal for people of same IQ as indie/alternative people, and rock/metal for fucking dumbasses. Those would be the official names for the three radio formats too. The latter format would pick up the lousy heritage rock stations while we're simplifying things.

My station's tagline is "Defining New Rock."
I guess that this is the definition of new rock?

Where are you from Billy? What station is this (I'm wanting to see the definition of new rock and decide for myself what I think about it).

I actually meant to post this a couple days ago, but Alternative ratings in the past month have skyrocketed (on average, nationwide), so I definitely think leaning Indie is a good thing for the format - for the first time in probably a decade it's not just doubling the currents from Active

I'm not a huge fan of most indie bands out there, but if it keeps the format alive, then I'm all for it.

No, but I passed through regularly when I was attending college in Memphis. I could swear that the last time I passed through the area (2007), that the station was gone and it made me sad. I only had a CD player in my car halfway through college, but even then, every time I would drive that way, I would stop whatever I was listening to and turn on the Pulse, I loved the station that much. Their playlist was the ideal Alternative station, as far as I was concerned. Happy to know they still exist, even though I haven't gotten to enjoy listening in years.

Oh I see. Driving to Memphis would take you right through my area. Glad to hear that you liked the station. I really like their playlist too. They really like the early Killers. I hear "Read My Mind" and "All the Things I've Done" at least once a week.

I only drove to/from St. Louis, maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the time, though. It's not where I lived, so if I was actually going home, it was never the quickest way. My brother lived there, I'd go up for concerts regularly, and I had friends that went to school in Cape Girardeau. Now that I'm thinking about it, this week would've typically been my spring break week. So 8 years ago I drove up that way and saw Evanescence for $10 the week Fallen came out. 2 years later, I went up that way and saw the first Taste of Chaos tour with The Used, My Chemical Romance, and Killswitch Engage. The show was a Sunday night, so I turned Monday's homework in the previous Friday, so I wouldn't have a long overnight drive just to go to class the next morning.
