Modern Rock 500
"Beloved Oxford alternative radio station 97X will return to the airwaves for two special broadcasts in May on Inhailer Radio and WGUC 90.9 HD3.
More than 30 former WOXY-FM DJs are on board to host the special dubbed "The 2023 Modern Rock 500,"
The program will count down the best alternative songs as "laps" in five 100-lap segments. It will air on Inhailer Radio from May 22-26 and again in the traditional Memorial Day weekend slot from May 27-29.
"This new Modern Rock 500 will be limited to those songs that landed on the countdown in the past. It's taking a look back from a present-day point of view," states Mike Taylor, 97X program director from 2001 to 2010 in a release. "Any way you slice it, it's gonna be 500 great tunes.""
Every once in a while I harken back to an album that I think is incredible for not only it's sonic and musical prowess, but as a concept album as well (imagining life as an early settler in Texas). The Trials of Van Occupanther by Midlake is one of those albums that needs to be studied in a lab and dissected. It's unique yet familiar, complex yet accessible, beautiful yet haunting.
I just wish more people heard it.

The Following User Says Thank You to Cali Panthers Fan For This Useful Post:
Sometimes you go on a journey to rediscover music you forgot.
A Kevin Smith mental health video led to a revisiting of the Clerks soundtrack (for Chewbacca reasons), and then a rediscovery of Girls Against Boys, only to end up finding this track that I loved in the day, but had forgotten until just now.
Here...enjoy.
