Wow. Just disturbing...

The opening plea alone is a gas:
To: Radio Network
We, the people of Maryland, believe the change of 99.1 HFS, the greatest alternative Rock station in Maryland to 99.1 EL Zol, Siempre De Feista, meaning "always of celebration" playing spanish music. HFS has provided the adolecent community with good music, the well know "HFSestival", and many other gatherings. Many people are disapointed about the change, and we, the people of Maryland believe a Spanish station will not do well in this area. We would like the owners of the station, please, revise you decision as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
School's out forEVER!

6261. Carly Dierkes infinity has just ripped out my soul. theyre doing so much damage by shutting down HFS, they cant even imagine the kinds of repurcussions this is going to create
One of my personal faves the 30 seconds I took to read this petition.
I was wondering who even still listened to hfs. Now, I know....
-
Just the comments are enough for me to realize that the best thing we could do for the youth of today is shoot them in the head.
-
i am in tears over here (laughing)
1258. Britton Wooten-Janney I dont much care for HFS but i expicaly hate spainsh
1262. Kelly Spanish ppl suck!
1271. Jamie Se habla espagnol? Hell naw. And even if I did, why would I want to listen to MUSIC in Spanish!? Come on, people.
4182. Brian bring it back i like getting drunk at hfstival
2819. nate bring it bak i hate dirty mexicans
4735. Ben Tedesco DUDE WE NEED OUR ROCK!
-
Kids aren't going to be as eloquent as a lawyer, and I do feel for them, but saying things like Spanish music sucks ass is just ignorant.
-
the maintenence crew at my apt. building is a bunch of young Mexican men, and they would all be outside blaring WHFS when i came home from work.
last night, the radio was off.
wierd.
-
Maybe they found new work as dj's?

wow i think there more people signing that petition than actual listeners.
-
threats are always good:
4265. Cristina Lugo if you're really against illegal downloading of MP3s you should bring back the station.
this person wrote the new Linkin Park song:
4252. timi fadden EL ZOL and Infinity can suck my dick because now that HFS is gone that means HFStival is gone which means i have no way of excaping the pain i go through every year in school so thank you El Zol im going to kill myself now thanks for murdering a helpless teen
and then, the unexplainable
3950. Chris Gallup block my last name out if possible
-
Should read
To: "The Man"
We, the 15 year old people of Rockville, Maryland, believe the change of 99.1 HFS, the greatest Linkin Park-centric Rock station in Maryland to 99.1 EL Zol, Siempre De Feista, meaning "always of celebration" (I learned that in Spanish 2 last week) playing spanish music. They can't even get the station in Spain, what gives?!?!?! HFS has provided the adolecent community with sounds and inane chatter regarding Slipknot, the well know "HFSestival-themed High School Drunkfest", and many other gatherings. Many people are disapointed about the change, and were surprised the station was still around since everyone stopped listening when they started playing 'Jane Says' on heavy rotation. The white people of Maryland believe a Spanish station will not do well in this area aside from every restaurant kitchen. We would like the owners of the station, please, revise your decision as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned Morons
-
Who knew that only Mexicans spoke Spanish...
oh, and it's not "always of celebrating"...it's "always celebrating". But don't listen to me, I'm not Mexican so hence I don't speak spanish...guess I speak Quisqueyan or some other dialect..
-

obviously this guy doesnt listen to HFS
6382. Matt C. Como estan b i t c h e s... All spanish music sounds the same
-
Where are the parents?
-
whoever wrote that petition did a pretty poor job wording it.
"We, the people of Maryland, believe the change of 99.1 HFS, the greatest alternative Rock station in Maryland to 99.1 EL Zol, Siempre De Feista, meaning "always of celebration" playing spanish music."
he didn't even finish that sentence.

Speaking seriously for a second.
did Infinity perhaps just increase racial tension in the Baltimore/DC area by taking a large part of a lot of people's lives and giving it to a minority without warning?
-
I,sadly, have not read the petition. Is this petition to keep the old station OFF the air??? Is so...count me in!!

Only among 15 year olds. The remiander understand that if you're ranked in the bottom 25% of the market share, you are the minority.
The without warning part is common practice in radio turnover.

15 year olds now, 25 year olds in 10 years.
i mean some ppl may really take this seriously.
and its the younger ages that are more easily influenced on stuff like that.
-
of course there's a market for another spanish station, half of my neighbors are from el salvador. i rarely listen to the radio so i'm happy the hispanic/latino crowd is getting a station. besides, merengue is fun. i like me some elvis crespo every now and then.

I think we need to be vigilant and look out for the 15 year old white kids because they're probably quite vulnerable at this time to neo nazi recruiting. The rest of the people making the ignorant comments were already racially biased from the beginning. Now they finally get a forum to express themselves!

Have you listened to the new HFS? The new music almost sucks ass harder than the old music, if it were only possible.
So do you have any Spanish recommendations?

No, I haven't listened to the new HFS. I was commenting on what Ally White said, "Spanish music sux ass!"
If you want to toss genres and culture out the window and make it as generic as possible, then yes, the new HFS plays Spanish Music.

I might have to side with Rhett and his wife on this one. That's an excellent compilation of contemporary Latin Jazz.

As far as I could tell in my few listens a lot of the music sounds pretty different, the unifying thing being the language it was sung in.....

Did The Clash enter the Spanish Music market with Spanish Bombs and Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Oh font of world music knowledge, please enlighten me.
Oh wait, your cd rack is bloated with CD Game Exchange Britpop litter.

Fico - I got Robi Draco Rosa's Mad Love last summer. It's one of my favs. Have they ever played anywhere around here?

Wouldn't think of it. Someone gave us a gift certificate awhile ago, and we had a hell of a time finding anything we wanted there. Finally ended up getting a fondue making thingamagig.
The cd was from CD Game Exchange.
And speaking of cheesy corporate sponsored albums, this Starbucks compilation looks promising:
Various Artists/Compilation - Sweetheart 2005 (Hear Music)
The latest Hear Music compilation of artists covering their favorite love songs features a great lineup including Neko Case, Sondre Lerche, Old 97â??s, Joseph Arthur, Martina Topley-Bird, Rufus Wainwright, M. Ward, Jim White, Madeleine Peyroux and other KEXP favorites. Songs range from old Tin Pan Alley chestnuts to the Smiths and Matthew Sweet. -

No, neither of those were recorded entirely in Spanish, so I am sure would not get played on the new HFS, but then you have not listened to it. So you are talking authoritatively about something you know nothing about, again.

Phew.....
I noticed that Starbucks have been shifting large volumes of CDs. But I still cannot feel entirely comfortable liking "coffee house music" whatever that means.
-
Do Frank Black's broken spanish screams in 'Vamos' qualify it to be played on the new HFS: El Zol? Viva El ZOL! La oficial estacion de radio de los Washuerto Rico Nationales!!!! (this post makes me yearn for upsidedown punctuation)

I actually don't like Mad Love much since it seems a bit of a half-assed attempt to do a crossover. His album "Vagabundo" IMHO is the best rock record in spanish. He has another one called "Libertad del ALma" which is a sort of greatest hits that came out before MAd Love..it's the best choice for the un-initiated..
Also check out Cafe Tacuba's "Cuatro Caminos" for some really mixed up stuff..
Jumbo is outstanding power-pop and one of my favorite bands http://www.jumbo.com.mx (http://www.jumbo.com.mx)
if you like more stuff a la kinky, amigos invisibles..check out Ilya Kuryaki & the Valderamas..
There's also the ska of Fabulosos Cadillacs, the fun rap-metal of Molotov, and the quircks of Plastilina Mosh..

My thoughts exactly. Do parents not teach tolerance for other races/cultures anymore? Imagine what these kids' kids will be like. I say someone should hunt them down and castrate them before these junior neo-Nazis get a chance to multiply. :p

I'll bring the rusty knives, you bring the masks. Seriously, if all these rednecks insist on trashing the latino community for this, I say good riddance to HFS and its pee brained listeners.

Thats not even a joke. The ratings were pathetic according to the numbers I read today in the papers. You can't blame them for switching to a more lucrative format. Its a business.
And honestly, I kind of like the new stuff. I'd rather hear salsa in the shower every morning than Creed.

That's a great point. It's not the hispanic market's fault for the change and all of the intolerance shown by "loyal listeners" is doing a disservice to HFS.

"take away 99.5 or sumthng, no one needs that crap. 99.1 has the best concerts and they r always the biggest concerts of the season and sometimes year. i know the rating and number of people listnenig to the station are going down but until the number gets down to like 100 it should be kept. please bring them back. if i go to mexico there r no american stations, so in america there shouldnt be a mexican station."
3057. lauren THIS IS AMERICA.. IT WAS BUILT ON ROCK.. 99.1 HAS BEEN AROUND MY ENTIRE LIFE WHY.. I WAS RAISED ON IT.. WHY ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE AWAY A TRADITION THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR LONGER THEN I CAN REMEMBER?! its messed up.

Online Petitions have the same amount of impact as trying to fly a paper plane around the world. The folks at Infinity are not gonna take that seriously. If you really want to make a difference, stop by Asylum Wake, Skate and Snow to join others and your voice heard the right way.

All of a sudden Devo's "Mongoloid" is playing in my head...
-
In the end it comes down to money, not rock 'n' roll. The best station in town will be missed. :(
Another station will come but hopefully soon.
-
dude, HFS has been all about money since probably before you were born.
-
There's lots of good Latino Shoegaze music out there but somehow I have a feeling that none of it will ever be played.
What I'm wondering about is if the station will stick to the stereotypical Latin format or if they will explore and showcase all sorts of genres that just happen to be from Hispanic musicians? Being Infinity, I would assume they are going to profile and stereotype like crazy.
I love what Sonick posted about the Mexican workers giving up on 99.1. Not that I was any kind of fan of it's latter years. Makes you think that Infinity assumes that all Latinos listen to the same music. This will be kind of interesting to see what happens and where it goes.
