Where's my cane, sonny?
"Yes, my friends, anyone who actually remembers the Stone Roses is now officially old."

The article is about a new radio station in LA that's playing what I like to call "alternative oldies." The wonks at Clear Channel call it "alternative gold;" either way, I expect it to be a fairly common radio genre soon enough. I'd been wondering when it would happen on actual radios, not just on the alt.80s and alt.90s custom stations available on Net radio.

I agree with the LA Weekly article that such stations, in addition to taking us down memory lane and playing the more palatable mainstream hits of today, should be trying harder to introduce us to new stuff -- we're not that old.
