Fuck, my heart can't handle this. Rang a couple times, then hang up, lol.

 

[bono_212]

Oh my God, I got through. Didn't win, but I got through, lol

 

[ouizy]

This will be the show of the tour...

 

[Lila64]

My heart can't handle the stress!

I've had the phone ring a couple of times, but never had them answer. This is going to be a long week.

KROQ's signal doesn't reach me. There's these things called the San Gabriel Mountains are in the way.

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

OMG! I am going to be in LA on the 28th!!! Must. get. tickets!

 

[bono_212]

Fell asleep reading, missed this hour. One more today, gang.

Things I found out today:

Every song on this station has whistling, rock bands that sold their souls to EDM, or Dave Grohl.

And despite pimping their gig to an oblivion, they hardly play any U2. "Listen to hip music all day for a chance to see some old guys that our demographic doesn't care about!"

I'm really not sure what KROQ is shooting for these days. They still pretend to play rock music for the sake of their older listeners, but why would older listeners want to hear any of this?

Ugh. And these tickets are hard as fuck to get. I also learned that.

 

[trojanchick99]

LOL. I've heard the horrible Offspring song maybe 4 times today. That's 4 times more than anyone should have to hear it.

...on Hollllliddaaaayyy!!!

Speaking of, hearing When I Come Around has been the highlight today so far.

I was born in 1991. Do you know how many times I've heard When I Come Around?

 

[trojanchick99]

Yeah. KROQ's live affair with Sublime is eternal.

KROQ does this all the time. Last summer I was lucky enough to see both Jack White and Arcade Fire in private little shows at KROQ studios, and they sure as hell hyped up those two acts before the shows, and I'm forever grateful to the station for bringing them in, but since then I haven't heard them play a single solo Jack White song or ANY Arcade Fire song. Not sure how they decide to play what they do play, but it's usually not consistent with the shows that they promote.

i was born in 1991. Do you know how many times i've heard when i come around?

11?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I was gonna go with 13

 

[Hallucination]

It would be AWESOME if they film this and release it. U2 club gig would be unreal!!

 

[Hollow Island]

Is the show going to be on the radio/KROQ webstream?

 

[trojanchick99]

Since this isn't at their studio, I don't believe it will be broadcast. The last two club shows they did, NIN and Depeche Mode weren't streamed or broadcast.

 

[bono_212]

We begin again

 

[bono_212]

Someone streaming the station just managed to win...

 

[trojanchick99]

While waiting in line in freaking San Jose.

 

[bono_212]

I'm not gonna hate....


...just quietly seethe.

1113 would be a good guess.

Hey it's RHCP and they're singing about California.
