What the heck is going on at K-Rock? Promoting the Morrissey shows...and now a resurrection weekend where they say they're going to play The Cure and DM?!? I'm sure they'll be mixed in with Motley Crue and Pearl Jam every other song, but still!?!

Resurrection Weekend

Apr 2, 2004 12:15 am US/Eastern
It’s K-Rock’s Resurrection Weekend:

We’re resurrecting the best music from the 80’s & 90’s from Depeche Mode and The Cure to Nirvana and Korn…

Plus be the 92nd caller when we tell you & win tickets to the hottest ticket in town: Morrissey’s five night run at the world famous Apollo Theater in Harlem in May.

Holy Crap! Maybe LIR's been rubbing off on them after so many years together on the dial. All they have to do now is get rid of the hard rock shit & dump that ass hole Stern & they might become a decent station that I could listen to when Island 94 is pla

Hard to believe, but I think Island 94 might be giving them some competition. They've got an all 80s weekend planned too.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm guessing that any requests won't really get much play. But it's kinda interesting. Maybe it's cuz their PD used to work in programming at KROQ, LA...? Maybe he'll add more decent stuff in if this weekend is well-received??? *fi

Man, I wonder how many one chord thrash, scream and snarl rock listeners are going to delete their 92.3 presets and FLAME those unwitting request line interns this weekend?
By the looks of it, there may be a major changing if the (demographic & programmi

C'mon, give Howard a break. He may not be your cup of tea, but after the April Fool's gag he pulled, I wouldn't know what I'd listen to in the morning. If you see through all the puerile stuff he pulls, there is a show of entertainment there (it's not a

Well, I don't know about K-rock since I never listened to it EVER. (Except when it's signal would bleed into LIR on my walkman) but Island 94 is pretty ass kickingly delicious. Apart from a few crappy remnants from the previous play list, (Yes, Toto, Juli

this definately rocks. they're playing an 80's song once every ten songs but they are prety much playing all the top alternative songs of the nineties i.e dishwalla - blue cars(tell me all your thoughts on god) and l7 - pretend that were dead. maybe if th

ROTFLMAO!!!

I've listened to the Stuttering John show, and marvelled at the diversity of the requests, and enjoyed what little I heard of the "resurrection weekend."

I wonder if WXRK/K-Rock will ever get it through their skulls that maybe, just maybe, if people ca

So the weekend was pretty interesting. A little grungy for my tastes, but interesting to hear some of the stuff they played. Of course, they aren't that shrewd on the subtlety tip. Jesus Jones' Right Here... into Limp Bizkit's Nookie? My ears hurt.

I'm in Bethpage where the station comes in strong. (They're in Farmingdale.) The minute I go into the city, around New Hyde Park, the signal is GONE!! Very reminiscent of the original 92.7. The old LIR was maddening, you could change lanes on the expressw
