One complaint about 3WK
OK, I've found a complaint about the new Classic Alternative Radio playlist at 3WK: They play too much Pere Ubu and the Sugarcubes. It seems as though the rotation plays both bands two or three times a day. Alternative commercial radio pretty much ignored Pere Ubu. What minor amount of airplay the band did receive was on college radio. Personally, I never liked the band. Their songs just go on and on and not in the cool on and on way by which a Sonic Youth goes on and on, for example. It just never seems to end and the singer's voice is annoying.
The Sugercubes, on the other hand, received a lot of commercial airplay. But, they play the annoying songs which featured Bjork's husband barking through them, destroying the songs. It is truly annoying. I did, however, hear the lovely "Birthday" today, which was nice. Oh well.
