By Aaron Holm -
This probably isn't all that topical to you if you're living outside the Twin Cities FM radio broadcast range of the former radio station at 96.3 FM on your dial, but something strange is afoot on their frequency right now.
Go ahead, check it out, I'll wait ...
Don't live in the area? It's on Tune-in radio (android), just search for K-TWIN 96.3. You'll have to listen to a commercial first, but you'll get there.
Got it?
That's just weird, right? Imagine the scene, I'm out in my garage pre-midnight on December 31st, listening to what I thought was some pretty damn good music on the radio. I go inside just a few moments before midnight to watch the festivities on the television, we do our thing, and I move back out to the garage, to that!
It blew my mind man!
Now I don't travel around the airwaves to much. KFAN and The Current are really my staples. Occasionally I'll venture over to some of the others. I'm at that point in your life where you find the minions from Despicable Me to be the best thing to happen to movies this decade. I complain about a lot of new music, so when I discovered K-Twin had changed from Beat 96 (Yeah, that station was never on speed dial around here), granted it was nearly 3 years late, I was pretty pumped to hear their selection.
Seems that's over now ... Sounds like what's coming could be pretty cool though. We'll see.
No spoilers kids, you wanna be in the know, you'll have to check it out. Don't worry. If you're reading this before Monday, January 5th at 3pm Central time, you haven't missed it.
Today's music, just turn on K-TWIN.
