Audio By Carbonatix
Been feeling awful nostalgic for KZEW in recent days — maybe it has to do with the latest eff-you over on 93.3; maybe it stemmed from catching a vintage clip last week on The Ticket, where someone had dug up Mike Rhyner talking media-league softball way back when. So, of course, I visited The Zoo File — where, as it turned out, late last week Scott, aka “The Zewkeeper,” updated the media player so it could kick out more flashbacks than a Dead show: prolonged clips of John LaBella and John Rody (and Rhyner), a traffic report (“Damn this traffic jam …”), a Hunt James commentary on how to be a man, the Bangles’ Rock and Roll Alternative theme song, a James Taylor in-studio and more than enough to get you through what’s left of your Monday afternoon.
Of course, there’s a plenty good reason to post this: This Wednesday — at 6 a.m., to be exact — marks the 36th anniversary of the station’s debut. (But: Some say September 19 is the actual launch date.) To mark the event, Scott writes, “I know I’m going to … add some more audio by then. I’m going to chat with Rody about it and see what we can come up with.” He’ll send a note when he’s got more.
