97.1 FM To Quit Talking This Friday

And so it goes in local radio...another station is shutting down and re-emerging as something the consumers apparently want more. In the wake of Indie 103.1's demise comes word that 97.1 FM, where folks like Adam Carolla, Tom Leykis, Danny Bonaduce, and Sam Phillips take the mic, will be no more as of this Friday, according to Defamer. News spread when Phillips made mention of the shutdown in a Facebook status update. Word has it the station will revamp and roll out again as an AMP Radio affiliate, playing such current faves as Katy Perry, Britney Spears, and Rihanna. And if it's happening on the airwaves, the proof is on the internet: "According to Radio Insight, someone recently, quietly registered the web domains AmpRadioLA.com, Amp971.com, and Amp971fm.com" a few days ago. And what of 97.1's chatterboxes? "A Howard Stern Show news board is reporting Carolla, who replaced Stern after Stern left for Sirius, has been fired." LAist recently interviewed Carolla's co-hostess, Teresa Strasser.

Constanze Mozart, 1762

Before you get your high-heeled thigh-high devil boots in a bunch, just know that there are other Gene Simmons's and the most famous of all is not 69. The one who passed away yesterday had a Top 20 hit in 1964 called "Haunted House" and was signed to Sun Records which meant that he had a chance to work with Sam Phillips and Mr. Elvis Aaron Presley. A true singer/songwriter, Simmons wrote or co-wrote...

"Despite a sound mix that bordered on muddy and amateurish, Jack White's new band, the Raconteurs, proved Tuesday in Tempe that they are much more than a 'side project' for the White Stripes star." - Arizona Republic 7/19

• Tonight at the Silverlake Lounge, KCRW presents Sam Phillips with Les Shelleys (Tom Brosseau and Angela Correa) for a reasonable $20. LAist suggests showing up early if you want to get in.

After much whining and pleading, LAist's inner child persuaded us to call USC and obtain a pass to the "Ready to Share: Ownership of Creativity in Fashion" conference on 1/30 sponsored by USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center's Creativity, Commerce & Culture project, Center for the Public Domain and The Fashion Institute of Desgin & Merchandise/FIDM.
