19th annual modern rock 500

Submitted by: mike

For the 19th year, one of our signature events, the Modern Rock 500, returns like clockwork this Memorial Day weekend. 500 songs, over 30 hours of some of the greatest modern rock, alternative and indie music ever recorded.

To long time listeners, you know what this is about. For newcomers, enjoy an entire weekend of counting down some of the best of the best that the radio station has had to offer in our 25 years as The Future of Rock and Roll.

We'll throw the green flag and start with #500 on Saturday, May 24th at 10am & run thru Midnight, continuing Sunday from 10am to Midnight & Memorial Day Monday from 10am until we reach the #1 song. Shiv, Joe, Bryan Jay and myself are excited to continue this annual tradition for music lovers everywhere, so please join us for the countdown Memorial Day weekend on the main WOXY.com stream.

If you won't be able to hear the "live coverage", we'll replay the entire 500 countdown on the WOXY Vintage channel sometime in June.

Portishead

Portishead returns after an 11 year layoff with a disc that sheds much of their trip-hop underpinnings, aiming to sound like themselves yet not sound like themselves. With Geoff Barrow's samples & turntable set aside, Beth Gibbons' distinctive croon now floats atop some harsher percussive beats and jagged guitar work that casts a dark cloak over the entire album. Still, it's a breathtaking step forward that manages to assemble elements of their 90's output and boldly re-imagines how the band can still very much be themselves without being themselves.
