Aimless here. I'm heading to Houston this weekend, and was reminded of the last trip I made there. I was feeling particularly bitter about Dallas that day as I was driving through Houston. I have a guilty pleasure once I get there, which is the radio station 97.1 Country Legends. That's right, I said Country Legends. I am from Texas, and I did go through a country phase in my youth (but the good stuff mind you, not the new fangled country that's on the radio these days). This station plays awesome/epic music, like this song, this song, and this one that reminds me of my Mom and Dumb and Dumber. Yes, I actually did hear all of these songs in a matter of 20 minutes on my most recent trip.
I immediately decided that Dallas needed to lose points for not having a station that played good, legendary country music. Then it hit me. Dallas actually has a legit radio station that surpasses all of the Houston stations. In November, 91.7 KXT was born - Dallas's public music radio station. They play fantastic music and have great radio programs. I listen to it most days, and have heard songs like this one, this one and this one. Greatness.
Dallas, it's finally time you were recognized for an actually cool thing. +15 points!!

ReplyDeleteI've been enamored with this radio station for a long time. I think Dallas gets another +10.
Aimless--thanks for the heads up of 91.7. When I lived in Pittsburgh I was addicted to their public music radio station 93.3 WYEP (still stream it on my iTunes nearly daily). Glad to know that Dallas has one now, too.
