For those of you who frequent the site, you may have caught on to the April Fools prank we pulled this April 1st. For those who dont, earlier last week we changed the design of the site, dropped a press release, changed the name of the show to Double-Hits, dropped all nasty language, drinking alcohol and spun strictly mainstream for the first 10 minutes of the show. Some listeners caught it, some listeners left with their hands in the air, some listeners totally stuck around rode it out (shouts ...
