101.9 FM RXP

If I didn’t have XM, I would be a huge fan of this station.
Why are all the other stations pumpin eminem, drake, bob, usher, lil wayne, ludacris, jay-​z all f’n day, every day?
Why do philly stations play alt rock and why do ny stations play hip-​hop almost exclusively?
Why does Matt Pinfield know every song ever created?
I feel bad for those people who don’t have satellite radio. Actually, I feel bad for those people who enjoy what’s on ny radio.

This radio station is awesome! They did a halloween show with Weezer and Matt and Kim… then just weeks later they had Phoenix, Passion Pit, Jack’s Mannequin and Manchester Orchestra… incredible!
The summer concert series on the Brooklyn Waterfront is gonna be awesome too… Band of Horses, Grizzly Bear, Keane, Weezer…

I couldn’t disagree more with the shrill Jill M. who posted here. Does she have anger issues or what?
imo this station more or less saved NYC radio. I couldn’t bare to listen to radio since WLIR/​DRE was gone, until I discovered RXP.
Hey, Jill M — here’s something for ya to chew on — which bands are good and which are not is completely SUBJECTIVE, you stupid little tart. But if they play something *you* don’t like well then they are to be cursed at? How sophomoric.
It is sometimes weird for them to slide right from Siouxsie and the Bancess to Springsteen or something, but I’ll take that over «play 20 songs only» Q104 any day.
This is the ONLY station that will even touch new wave in NYC. When was the last time you heard The Smiths on the radio? Or Echo & the Bunnymen? The Pixies? They Might Be Giants? The list goes on and on.
I say hats off and keep it up. And Jill, I hope you get laid soon, sweetie — you need to relax. Stress kills!

Was jazz station which i loved
Now its this mix of stations which is not good They are trying ot be like JACK FM but failling at it pritty good.

The only FM radio station I listen to in New York any more. Period, end of discussion.
K-Rock’s daily Metallica playlist and Q104’s Guns N’Roses, rinse, repeat formulas were far too old for me. Then along came this gem — a great mix of the good new stuff I love (Foo Fighters, et. al.), sweetass rock from my childhood (a la Soundgarden), and great earlier stuff like Boston b-​sides. Plus, the not-​so-​mainstream stuff they play is surprisingly good. The station, while keeping me grounded in the safe musical tastes I’m comfortable with, is also slowly beginning to help me realize that there are actually some decent new bands out there.
Tell your friends to keep listening, because there is a strong rumor that ESPN Radio is going to move off AM and onto 101.9, since RXP is struggling financially.
Oh, and Matt Pinfield.

Everyone says radio is dead. In the age of the Ipod and digital tuneage in general, perhaps it is inevitable. I hope that’s not the case, however. Why, you ask? Well, there’s just something to be said for letting someone else (like knowledgeable dj’s who care about what they’re playing) surprise you with some great bands you may not have heard of, or from, in a long while. You know, post-​punk bands like Translator, for instance. Never heard if them, you say? Well listen to RXP, my friends. Perhaps there will be hope for you Nickelback & Staind lovers yet. I mean Matt Pinfield has a show on this station! Remember him from back in the day? 120 minutes or the launch of Mtv2? He knows more about music than most, that’s for sure! Sure, this station has to play some classic rock tracks once in awhile, but I’ll cut them some slack because I know the general population tends to go a bit more mainstream in their likes, so it has to be done. This station is for the true fans, though, and hopefully, it will remain so. It is a breath of fresh air in what was a pretty dire radio market, and I hope they are here forever. Thanks for playing great music RXP. Maybe you’ll create a semi-​radio revival! Hallelujah!
