Last night we went out for dinner to celebrate my wife’s birthday and the restaurant that we went to was playing some satellite radio station that seemed to play very ransom things (not too unlike 97.3 Jack FM). At some point though, the station played “Achin’ to Be” by The Replacements. My head shot up from my food and I said to my wife “this is why I don’t listen to The Spy more…I have yet to hear them play The Replacements.” She nodded in agreement. In fact whenever we’re in the car and we turn on The Spy, they seem to be playing the same basic thing. – wussy British music. Like I said in my email to The Spy, I like bands like The Smiths and The Charlatans UK but good lord there is more to alternative music than these bands and the bands that they influenced.
I would love to listen to The Spy non-stop but it is really hard we they seem to play a one-sided version of alternative music. I’ll forgive them for missing bands like The GC5 and The Devil Dogs but missing The Replacements is just completely and totally unacceptable. I know that I am being nit picky but when you have something with the amazing potential of The Spy and you watch it getting squandered it is very frustrating.
