  1. I remember when KVRX ruled in the 90s and the station had balls to play something different. Now it’s like listening to 101x-lite.

  2. concerned listener

    fuck kvrx.

  4. anyone know where to rsvp for vice kills texas?

  5. don’t they have rules requiring them not play 101x material?

  6. Yes. DJs are penalized if they knowingly play “mainstream” material (basically stuff commonly played on other radio stations).

  7. Sure…they don’t play Disturbed. But +/-, etc.? Like that’s cutting edge? It’s like listening to every other college radio station in the god damn country. The music director dudes are just lame brains.

    I agree with 1st poster. 90s were KVRX heyday.

  8. I didn’t say it was “cutting edge.” Just not the same bands that other stations play. “Cutting edge” is a little subjective. And don’t blame the music directors; the DJs themselves choose what they play. Some are more adventurous than others. Sure, it sounds like other college radio stations. It -is- a college radio station, after all.

  9. What an elitist, asinine thing to complain about. So if they aren’t playing non-stop avant-garde tracks from the latest band to be influenced by The Boredoms or Diamanda Galas, then the station is somehow comparable to 101X? How about they just play good rock/pop/alt-rock/po mo/whatever music from all sorts of subgenres? Play your iPod if you want to hear that shit non-stop.

  10. I… (who’s worked for a college station) can honestly say comparing 101X to KVRX is a little extreme. I work(ed) for KTSW. I’m sure we play stuff I hate and may be even some edging main stream. It’s about catering to the audience sometimes. You may hate a band, but 1000 others love it. Bloc Party was played all over MTV, but people love it still. It still gets spins on college radio. If you guys are going to argue over a radio station that doesn’t even have it’s own radio signal 24hrs a day 7days a week… that’s seems kind of pointless.

  11. the 90s were college radio heyday, not just KVRX.

  12. I never played anything I hated at KVRX. I also ran sound for the event above. I had a video camera and shot two songs from each band. The Six Parts Seven didn’t show.

    Have a good day.
