This morning while firing up the house I heard an incredible old Johnny Cash song that I didn't even know existed. This powerful attack at consumeristic bullshit from one of our greatest songwriters was immediately followed by some Far East Trip Hop. I love 89.1 KHOL.
When I last left Jackson Hole the radio stations here pretty much sucked. They'd spin a good tune once in a while but most of what they played I considered crap. Also, they'd devote the first 10 minutes of every hour to repeating the same shitty CANNED NEWS over and over again. WTF?! Don't they know ski bums and folks on vacation couldn't give half a shit about kitties caught in trees halfway around the world. Ski bums and folks on vacation want good tunes.. you know, something they can groove to.
A friend with the most impressive record collection I've ever had the privilege to peruse (it takes up a whole room in his house) decided to change that. He made it his mission to bring good radio to Jackson Hole and after banging his head against bureaucratic walls for years finally succeeded. Jackson Hole Community Radio and it's flagship station KHOL were born. It kicks ass.
If you like it, show support to JHCR. Hopefully with enough good vibes flowing their way, they can boost their signal so it fills the entirety of Jackson's Hole with independently spun goodness.
