Every city has this radio station — you know, the station that is acceptable to be played at work, the station that generally identifies itself as: “world-class,” “all-rock,” “rock.” These stations, no matter where you are located, are always, in every way, terrible. With a capitol T. Terrrible. See that, capitolized now. They play the same songs, repeatedly, every day, day in, day out, over and over. Vampire Weekend cradles up with Death Cab for Cutie for a funeral service with Peter Frampton and CCR jamming in the background.
Denver’s radio station is KBCO. It’s the one you’ll hear in offices, in Saab’s, in grocery stores. I hear it every day at work. Every day I hear the same 150-200 songs, over and over, sometimes at the same time every day — like they want me to equate Death Cab’s newest single with 3:30 or “1234″ with lunchtime. In an effort to rid myself of some demon’s, I’m going to attempt to live blog an entire day’s worth of work while listenening to this shit station. Why? I dunno. I hope it’ll make me feel better. Now than, that being said, I’ll be at work, so don’t expect constant updates, but they’ll be streaming via Twitter for the majority of the day, followed by a roundup up of everything (with bonus spelling corrections!) here.
On another note, the other new Bruce Springsteen single, the one that doesn’t sound like “867-8309″ sounds like a Magnetic Fields song. Listen:
Which happens to be the song that hit rock band, Arcade Fire covered (which, oddly sounds like a mix of Springsteen and the Magnetic Fields):
Looks like the Boss just got pwned.
