Alternative Radio March Madness -- KRXF vs. WNNX

two stations -- ten songs each -- winner gets the #16 slot in the Midwest Divsionals

The stations KRXF -- a feisty little indie station from Bend Oregon
vs. Baton Rogue's WNXX/KNXX

KRXF gores first whipping out "Rock & Roll Radio" by the Ramones while WNXX counters with Self Esteem by Offspring -- Ouch they had to go with a Phil Spector produced track. I gotta five this one to WNXX.

Bullet the Blue Sky -- U2 vs. The Cave -- Mumford & Sons KRXF gets the edge this time.
There is No Other Way -- Blur vs. Photograph -- Nickelback In a very controversial call, the judges prefer the only decent song Nickelback wrote to Blur's weakest single WNXX wins!
Some Crappy Filter Song I Couldn't Bother to Find Out the Title to vs. My Body -- Young the Giant Advantage WNXX -- upset in the works?
Long Time -- Cake vs. Animal -- Neon Trees Haven't got into the new Cake single yet. Gotta give the edge to WNXX this time
Mr. Brightside -- The Killers vs. Add it Up -- Violent Femmes. Gotta give WNNX credit for playing a Violent Femmes song that isn't "Blister In the Sun"
Gotta Get Away -- Offspring vs. Louder Than Ever -- Cold War Kids. KRXF gets the edge here.
Idioteque -- Radiohead vs. Bulls on Parade -- Rage Against the Machine. Never thought I'd vote against a Rage song, but I got to give the win to the station that dares to pllay a Kid A track.
Walking On the Moon -- Police vs. Are You Gonna Be My Girl -- Jet Points for reaching back to an early Police track.
Redemption Song -- Bob Marley & The Wailers vs. Undercover of Darkness Ilove the new Strokes single but we're talking BOB MARLEY here.

Hey -- It looks like we got us a tie 5-5. That means OVERTIME! Best of 3!

KRXF lays down Will Do by TV on the Radio, April 29, 1992 -- Sublime and Wake Up by the Arcade Fire. KNNX is playing the Dr. Drew show -- that's almost enough to get them disqualified, but we'll go back to the last 3 songs they played before going syndicated. Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne, Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons and DOA by the Foo Fighters. Wow it's close but it's KRXF by a hair. They go onto meet Houston's Clear Channel horror KTBZ.
