It's safe to turn on the radio again.

From al.com:

As Scott Register left the air this morning, officially announcing the format changeover to Live 100.5 in Birmingham, he told listeners, "It's been a long time coming. I'm excited about it."

Here is the first hour's worth of songs from the new station's playlist:


1. Bruce Springsteen - Radio Nowhere
2. R.E.M. - Radio Free Europe
3. Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart
4. Pearl Jam - Daughter
5. Coldplay - Viva la Vida
6. New Radicals - You Get What You Give
7. KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See
8. Spoon - Don't You Evah
9. The Killers - All These Things That I've Done
10. U2 - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?
11. Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
12. O.A.R. - Shattered
13. Feist - 1234
14. The Police - So Lonely
15. Duffy - Mercy

Y'all. I may cry.

And we'll all stay free.

Yeah, I dunno but it probably made sense at the time. That's my grandfather on the right.

*Yet another album I wore out.
**Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.
