Anyone remember 92.1 The Edge from back in the 90s? How did I miss that it was back, now at 94.1? A welcome addition to the Lansing-area FM scene, finally there’s something other than classic rock, old heavy rock with some occasional newer rock, light rock, and country. Since I can’t get WGRD from Grand Rapids, and they killed off ‘KLQ, there’s finally something that plays the alt-rock hits from high school and college mixed with new alt-rock stuff as well.
I’ve been listening to it for the past week now. It’s mostly good…I’ve heard a lot of old groups that I loved that I haven’t heard in a long time. Garbage, Smashing Pumpkins, Our Lady Peace, Live, and songs from groups that I’d never heard before, or completely forgotten. One slight annoyance is that there does seem to be a lot of repetition. I got the same thing when I listened to a streaming radio station all day; after a couple of days the playlists would start to repeat and I’d get bored with it. The new Edge has a lot of variety, but there have been times where I’ll hear something on the way to work, and then hear the same one on the way home that night.
Either way, it’ll have to suffice until I manage to replace the stereo in my car, right?
