I know they're older than the songs that the currently play, but they should be played given their Queens roots. They are playing a lot of Beastie Boys, probably to make up for the fact there was no station regularly playing them when MCA died recently
The dubstep will be here by the end of the year. Alex Clare's "Too Close" is doing very well and will open the floodgates to dubstep on Alternative radio. Much like Fall Out Boy ushered in the emo-pop wave of the mid part of the last decade.Tony Santiago said:I know the track.
Yeah, the older listeners wouldn't necessarily want to deal with dubstep after hearing the groups you've mentioned. Even for those within the dance music community, people either really love it or really hate it. But for what it's worth, if you want to get the younger listeners, I think dubstep would be a perfect fit for such a station because of that angst and rebellion in the sound that would well fit into a rock station's philosophy

I disagree, didn't work out to well for Korn w/ Skrillex. Alex Clare is doing well in large part because of the Internet Explorer campaign on national TV. Also "Too Close" alone is not dubstep. A slight electro wobble doesn't make it dubstep. Trying to say so reminds me of people saying Britney Spears went dubstep.
I do agree that the Ramones should be played - and since pre-90's music is apparently not off-limits to New Rock 101.9, I don't see why they haven't already been played. Same goes for the Clash for that matter. The only possible excuse I can think of for not playing them is that they can be heard on Q104.3 - but that doesn't stop them from playing Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Green Day, STP, and Chili Peppers. Plus, they could always go deeper than the tracks Q chooses to play.
As for dubstep, I suspect that some dubstep-influenced music will continue to pepper the format, but an onslaught of full-on dubstep tracks would probably prove to be too polarizing. Though I don't think the Korn track is a good example, because Korn is a band associated with the nu-metal sound that has largely fallen out of favor. Even so, they've gotten more airplay with their recent dubstep-influenced material than they have in years.

I definitely agree with you on that one.
My suggestion was only meant for a few dubstep tracks anyway, the more popular ones. Otherwise I do agree that too much of it can be polarizing, especially if you're putting them in alongside groups like Korn, Green Day, etc.
Just heard a real "live" (possibly tracked) person introducing the Of Monster's and Men tune. Could this be the elusive "JR" who's been tweeting on behalf of the station?
If you enjoyed this new format on 101.9, here is a aircheck that is done outside of NYC, but it's a copycat, and it was from 1/23/12 where Deuce & Bandy did their first show on WRRV, as you know, the music for this format sounded the same which is now being heard on WRXP's "New Rock 101.9" after pulling the plug on this "FM News" thingamajig to focus on bringing the rock back to the station. Cumulus, eat your heart out to Merlin. Here it goes!

I love WRRV I can get it in a few parts of town and up in Warwick obviously. Once you go towards the center of West Milford it fades out but you can sometimes get it on 96.9 with no bleed in from 97.1 or 96.7 & no bleed occurs on 97.1 or 96.7 from either frequency.
