I filled it out, but since I lamely waited until today tp post about it, you can&#8217;t see for yourself. I was going to give them shit for asking a question that expected a single response, but allowed multiple (side effect of being a geek who worked at a market research firm), but I missed my chance. They do still have a link on the site to call or e-mail, so I included it as well.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been spending more time than usual with them this week because it was fund drive week on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kut.org\">KUT<\/a> and we all know how much fun that is. 101X seems to be paying attention to it or at least making an attempt. I heard &#8220;God Save the Queen&#8221; on either Monday or Tuesday morning and then &#8220;Losing My Religion&#8221; was on Tuesday morning. I know it&#8217;s not that much of a stretch, but at least it&#8217;s not playing Fall Out Boy over and over again. Lawless was at <strike>KNAC<\/strike> KNNC, arguably KROX&#8217;s predecessor from the early 90&#8217;s. He replaced Melody Lee, who also worked at <strike>KNAC<\/strike> KNNC and took off at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.austinchronicle.com\/issues\/dispatch\/2004-12-24\/pols_naked6.html\">end of last year for greener pastures<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you listen to 101X at all, you&#8217;ve been hearing promos from the relatively new program director, Lawless.
