Crow for McCaw
| | Not sure the rest of the country wants to keep up with it, but the continuing meltdown of the Santa Barbara News-Press is one boffo soap opera, even if it's a real tragedy. |
| | Denial is the ink with which Wendy McCaw writes her paper's slo-mo obituary, every time it runs one of her surreally one-sided and fact-deprived defenses of choices that have been, one after the other, so odd and self-defeating that they defy explanation. |
| | The latest of these head-shakers ran on Memorial Day. (No link, of course, because the News-Press puts everything beyind a paywall.) Craig Smith, as usual, is On The Case, with long, detailed and entertaining posts here and here. My fave line: Give me one name, other than your boyfriend, who agrees with that statement. |
Country just got smaller
| | Because Ellen kept great radio alive. Thanks to Laura, we can still listen not only to the peerless KPIG, but to the long-gone and always legendary KFAT, plus the still-current Cowboy Cultural Society. Thanks to Laura, the Americana format is alive and well on what's left of American radio — not to mention what one KPIGGy once described as "mutant cowboy rock & roll". I hope it can all go on without her. |
| | They've been running reminiscences of Ellen on KPIG, which I'm listening to right now in a low-end Oakland hotel, where the station's AM night signal, coming from a couple exits up 880, barely gets in the window. Still, even though I can also get the MP3 stream, I like the low-end authenticity of it. Seems right somehow, today. |
