First: I'm aware that rhythmic probably has a different connotation than I'm intending. What I'm thinking of is "rock with a dance beat" - for instance, holding the Psychedelic Furs up against REO Speedwagon if this were the 80's. "Urban Alternative", perhaps, where the bands you'd hear are likely to be playing the Bowery Ballroom or Webster Hall in NYC...
WLIR's heritage was "Dance Oriented Rock". Now, with bands like Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, etc. around, and with Pearl Jam actually hewing back to a style that carries a solid beat with their latest single, there's a resurgence of that, and if I had my 'druthers, I'd push it - but again, that's me.
However, this is getting afield from the real topic - how would I change KRBZ? I'd add a bit of what I described above, because the station's pretty propulsive as it is. (But if I'd have to play Yellowcard to get people to listen to the upcoming !!! album, so be it.)
