What others are saying
- Smashing PumpkinsGlad to see Planet go. Would like to see more Smashing Pumpkins played. They have some of the best songs of the 90's. I am a huge fan and would like to hear of their new stuff as well. "Freak" is a good song and I would like to see the reaction to it here.
- More IndieOne Death Cab for Cutie song a year isn't going to cut it. I'm not saying go all MGMT on us but get something that's rocks. White Rabbit, Passion Pit, and something from all those awesome bands that come to town. Play their stuff! no more Cage the Elephant. Shout out to the beaches area! Planet Radio is gone, so don't fuck this up. They could come back with vengeance... or less commercials.
- Wow...at all the Limp Bizkit bashers. Did they and Planet not help put Jacksonville on the map. I'm not hating on anything. Sad to see Planet go.....but I was also glad to see X come!
- BKBEver heard of Blue King Brown? Not so heavy, but would be great to hear in the states.
- Funeral For A Friend...yeah FFAF is great ...and Matisyahu! :)
- MATISYAHU!Matis is awesome... air his music for all to hear!!!!
- more of dis VDisturbed, Korn, Godsmack and play that new song by switchfoot "the sound" when u get the chance,thanks
- PlanetfestYou guys have to take over planetfest. Jax NEEDS planetfest every year. Call it XNationfest. I don't care you guys just have to do it. PLEASE. The free concerts aren't cutting it. They are WAY overcrowded (The Landing)
- more chevellePlease play more songs from Chevelle! They are my favorite band (:
- More of my favesI would love one radio station to start playing Blue October.I am glad you play Muse ,but what about their other singles besides Uprising? It's Alive is a great band. What about playing some Kill Hannah?
- More Local Bands!!!!!you guys NEVER play any local bands! and ther eare tons of them here in jacksonville. check this one out!
http://inwhispers.com/#/music/4540163320 - A little harder rock!Ok, I'm a rock fan through and through. any genre I like it, all I'm askin' for is maybe some AX7 or maybe some more slipknot ( the older, harder, faster, Slipknot ) Yes, I may be a chick but hey chicks like rock too!
- Please play thisCirca Survive - Get Out
Or anything from Senses Fail - This band should be IN the PLAYLISTRed, is just utterly amazing...
www.myspace.com/dropofred - Some new songs to add?Evans Blue-Pin up, My Damsel
Tiger Amry- Rose in the Devils Garden, Forever Fades Away
A Day To Remember- The Downfall of Us All
or maybe some more Atreyu? or Killswitch Engage? - @ WicketLimp is a band that the listeners of the radio station put in the library...not the people who work here. based on the audience we actually ended up adding tracks from them last march. so yeah, if you have a problem with limp on the playlist, take it up with the people who listen to the station...but hey, if you'd like i'll play just the garbage that i like. DEATHCAB FOR CUTIE 24 HOURS A DAY!!!! WHERE"S MY POSTAL SERVICE CDs?!?!?!?!
- Same old #$%@Besides the commercials you're no better than PLANET. There is more out there than the 50 songs you keep playing over and over and over... Limp Bisquik sucks.
- maybe a couple tracks to add :Dmaybe a couple tracks maybe add?
a day to remember- downfall of us all
Andrew W.K. - party hard;Get Wet;She is beautiful
Bullet For My Valentine - Tears Dont Fall
o and last i hear while the dj talks paul revere by the beastie boys, PLAY IT!
thnx ;D - im sooo happy with this station i love 3 days grace i was sitting here you listening and i was wishing to here 1 of thier old song and i hate everything about you came on thanks ! but planet radio is cartching up except in the mornings i dont want to hear them complain thanks up i love rise againist flyleaf paramore keep playin new stuff ya'll thanks
- yes Bullet for My ValentineBullet for My Valentine , need some air play in Jacksonville. They got some off the posion cd and i think this one is just as good as the posion.
pop/metal on the radio, yes - vampire weekendawesome band! haven't gotten their new CD yet, but the first one is tres bein!
- @ TroyI hear what you're saying Troy. I also understand perception is everything, and if you think the station is playing LESS Shinedown lately than that's the image that will stick with you. The REALITY is since mid-March I added 4 more older Shinedown tracks to the library. The percentage of spins that band gets is in the top 10 on the station.
As for Rise Against, another reality is that the band is THE MOST requested on the station period. Blows every other band away. Unfortunately for you, those requests are centered around a few songs...mainly "savior".
I hope you continue to check us out Troy, but I get if you've reached your limit. Feel free to email feedback anytime. hit me up at aaron@x1029.com
thanks.. - Get it together~You guys used to own Planet Radio in the music. I knew pretty much any song you guys played would be good. Now pretty much every song you play is bad, and I only occasionally enjoy listening to you. In a 45 minute car ride I might expect one good song. What the heck happened? Please quit playing Rise Against. You play them about 90 times a day. Whatever happened to Shinedown songs? Poof. Gone. Just like my enjoyment of your station.
I remember what I first heard and liked about your station was "One Thing" Don't hear that on many stations. Now I get the same crap I could get on Planet. But at least Planet sprinkles some quality in there. So really, all you've done X1029 is make Planet play less commercials while you play more and more unappealing songs. Thanks a lot.
I get there's a loooot of songs in this genre to play and that you want to play the newest hottest songs, but not all new songs are good. - play some local bands or other less known bands like comeback kid or casey jones
- to jenyou love Nirvana, then buy the CD or listen to it on the classic rock station. 18 year old song are not NEW
- requestsSome bands that are new and are awesome are Paramore,Paper Route,Green Day,Muse,and Blink-182.If you guys would play some more songs by these bands that would REALLY rock!Keep up the good work!
- just thanksI just wanted to say that i love this station. I live in gainesville and despite the occasional static, it is completely worth it for the music.
That being said, i would like to request more music by blue october. The whole reason i tuned into this station was because i heard "hate me". All the local stations never play that kind of music anymore.
And i love that you play SSPU
It has been a long time since i could say that almost every song i hear on the radio is one i like. - :)you really need to play white flag warrior more often.
i love the nirvana<3 - MusicCan u add some disturbed(land of confusin)and avenged sevenfold(afterlife) those are just suggestions
- I think my two fav. songs should be played more!
White-flag warrior
What it's like - Agreed with everyone here. New means NEW.God if i hear nirvana or pearl jam one more time ill kill myself. Here is a list of some bands that myself as well as plenty of others would enjoy who enjoy alternative/hard/new rock/metal.
(if you can play framing hanley you can play these bands)
1)Alexisonfire: This could be anywhere in the world/To a Friend
2)Endeverafter: Poison
3)Killswitch Engage: Starting Over
4)Atreyu: Blow
5)Mayday Parade:Black Cat/Champagnes for Celebrating/Anything by them.
6)Scary kids Scaring Kids: Blood runs forever. - The SensesHey, we are a local Jax band called the Senses. We have a new CD out on iTunes, Shockhound,and Amazon and we think you will dig it! How can local bands get more "love" from our local stations?
- Please play MORE NEW MUSICNirvana IS NOT NEW Music!!!
Here's some from the current decade that are actually on tour and/or on the indie/alternative/college charts: Arctic Monkeys, Cursive, Grizzly Bear, Ra Ra Riot, Tokyo Police Club, The Whigs, White Rabbits, Land of Talk, Vampire Weekend, The Thermals, Monsters of Folk, Free Energy, Los Campesinos, Spoon, Ida Maria, My Morning Jacket, Yo La Tengo, Dinosaur Jr. Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips...There I gave you a few bands with new (2009-10) releases to start with. Oh, by the way, you can stop with the Oasis already...they aren't around anymore! Plus, some of the above listed are even coming to JAX!!! Just another reason you need to start playing them!!! Not to mention, they're the REAL alternative music! - Hollywood uneadHolllywood undead any of there songs are awesome i have not found i song i did not like you guys should so play some of there songs
- please put the " new" in "new" rocksparky, thank you. who could like Nirvana. Grunge died in 1996 get over it move on.
please play The Gaslight Anthem, why does good american bands get more radio plays in europe than america. - Just repeating what others are saying..I go to lots of shows and hear comments about alot of the local scene. One name that gets mentioned alot is MINDSLIP...and the comment is why doesn't the X play them... maybe you should give it a try.. I'd Recommend "JADE"
- harder stuffYou have got to stop playing Nirvana! I stopped listening to planet because they played him to much!
- music requestplz play i will not bow or kings and queens its up to yall cause yall F**KIN RULE
- musicplay Tokio Hotel!!!
- MUSIC REQUESTCAN YALL PLAY SOME HURT? THANKS
- have you heard of the offer you should deff play them
- Request.Miss Murder - AFI :]
- MetalWe need more metal please.Oh,and we also need a better yearly concert than planetfest,talk about lame line up!
- RequestFirst Date - Blink 182
- MuseWe need to here more Muse i absolutley love them B-)Up rising is one of there best songs but they do a great cover of feelin good
- why???why did your station stop playing Atreyu? you played them for a week and then stoped.
- "I don't want to hear any more deathcab, at the drivein"
From below.
Wow. I didnt know At the Drive-In got any radio play. great band. I doubt it will happen, as the similar artists aren't very mainstream rock friendly, but I would be thrilled if some bands that are similar to Death Cab are played.
-Ace Enders
-Copeland
-Mae
-Lovedrug
etc. Again, I doubt this will be paid much attention, as the general public has pretty bad taste, and accepts new music rather poorly, for the most part (cage the Elephant is kinda an exception apparently. Im surprised they got as popular as they did). - Girl Voice on XHer name is Katie, and she is completely awesome. I'll ask her how she feels about getting her picture up here...
- Who's voiceAaron, fair enough. But who's the chick that announces some of the music? I love her voice and would love to see what she looks like!
- @ Jackcouple of things...
the listeners to WOKV, and X102.9 (and Planet for that matter) are two very different audiences. When you talk about ratings, it's important to include what demographic you are talking about. While WOKV does great with the older crowd, they do not impact 18-34 year olds as much...
Which brings me to my next point. If we are talking about ratings, I do not wish my station to be where Planet is. They are getting their faces kicked in. Period. Just ask them. If they aren't cowards they will own it.
We will CONTINUE to play the best new rock, and we truly hope to expose Jacksonville to some great new up and coming bands. But we're also going to continue to poke fun at Planet because they are lame. Sorry if that is too distracting.
I hope you continue to enjoy X. If you want to debate this some more, feel free to email me:
aaron@x1029.com - Planet RadioThese commercials X1029 play knocking Planet is getting old. Every radio station wants to be where Planet is. Cox radio's very own 106.5 gets the highest ratings in Jax (I know, different format. Leave Planet be and just play kickass New Rock!
- Them Crooked VulturesYou should check out the band Them Crooked Vultures and their first single New Fang.
- new musici think you guys should play champagne by cavo that song is sweet and yall dont play it planet does!!!!!!!!!Whats up with that?
- musiclove love love this radio station:] I agree with what you guys say about planet :P haha. could you play Shinedown Breaking Inside
- It is very childish when you guys make fun of Planet. I always change the station when you do it. you also play that gay kings of leon song WAAAY to much.
- Paper RoutePlease play more of Paper Route.
- Spinnerette & Arctic MonkeysHey, could you guys play Ghetto Love By Spinnerette Or anything from the Arctic Monkeys? They both seem to be getting a lot of airplay everywhere else...
- skeetskeet skeet skeet
- Play TOKIO HOTELwould u guys please play more of tokio hotel if you never heard of them there really kool u and more people would like them.. they have a new cd coming out.. they have songs in english and in german both languages are really great u guys should give them a chance!!!!!

- real new rockyou guys claim to be the "new" rock station; but i have yet to hear you play new rock from bands like Flyleaf and Killswitch Engage whose singles have been out for weeks! What are you being restrained or policed in some manner. If you are going to have the "edge" over those other guys then you have got to play the new and the heavy stuff. TAKE THE DAMN SAFTEY OFF THE TRIGGER, BLOW OUR MINDS WITH ROCK ALREADY!!!

Sincerely,
AJ - trapt - contagiousdefinitely like the song - glad trapt brought some good new material
- local musicHey it'd be great to hear some of the local bands we hear live at Jack Rabbits and The Pit. Try HandsHigh (played with Sophmore Attempt)for fresh attitude. Jax spawns good live bands, not just mixed in studios!
- songthe sophomore attempt-i love this band they used to live by my buddys house.
- expanding with good music playlistlets hear some Bubbly joe, Pepper and some of The Supervillans on the air
- That Matisyahu song sucks, I would rather hear a commercial in its place, even if its that annoying one where the truck tires are talking!
- TraptI love Trapt, Please play it!
- new rockyour xfiles needs more new killswitch engage or dredg.
keep expanding your playlist...
i am looking at billboard right now and your not playing the new taking back sunday and rise against audience of one. - awsomematisyahu is still coming hard just as he did with king without a crown and i hope he continues!!!

- What A Shame by Shinedowncould you please play this song at least one time. i bought the shindeown cd and found it and i love it.
- can u play some tool that would be cool
- this station is awsome but needs more of the sond Break Stuff(i think i got the title wrong though)
- how come you guys dont play anything by MSI?
- MusicPlay the new Rise Against song Audience of One. Its been out a while still haven't heard it on the "new" rock radio yet.
- Put some local bands on the air. I love your music but it would be awesome if you would do a weekly highlight of up and coming local artists. I like Cage the Elephant. I'm tired of just the main stream stuff that you can get on Planet. Amber down below can get her fill of VH1 music at Planet.
- MusicYou guys play some of the best music on the radio. I leave you on in my room even when I'm not home :]
- ZeroGo ahead and play the song Zero - the teaser drives me crazy!!
- you should play mettalica,disturbed,avenged seven fold,dragonforce,bring me the horizon,shinedown,bullet for my vallentine,and korn.
- SuggestionYou should play the new Dredg song - I Don't Know its good
- New SongsI like "The Night" and "Sounds of Madness" is decent. The other two songs really annoy me. However, a lot of your songs do, so maybe some of your audience enjoys that kind of music? Anyhow, didn't Anberlin release "Breaking" as a single recently? Throw that in there... please?
- all of themTheir all good songs but how about putting on some company of thieves or sick puppies?
- playplay eyes on fire - blue foundation - it's a kick ass song
- Planet is the bomb......at playing commercials. just sayin.
- stop hating on planetplanets the bomb
- @ BrianThe Yeah Yeah Yeahs are an awesome group, but their tracks are not all that "radio friendly". Besides "Maps" I'm not sure what else you think we should play? hit me back and let me know!
- I like all these songs...play some Avenge sevenfold bat country!!!
- Play more emo..You like to hear the same crap, go listen to 107.3 they play that crappy washed up music you like.
- Same Ole Sh--Why not get off the Planet format?? Play bands like the Yeah yeah yeahs, or People in Planes and Boxer Rebellion?? Even the Verve has a new album out.. come on, i heard the same damn music on planet at the same time..
- yayrest for the wicked is cool, disturbed is frking awesome! shinedown is the shizzle!!
- quit playing emowhatsup with these lameass self-loathing bands that you guys slip in on occasion?
I don't want to hear any more deathcab, at the drivein, or any other of these queer emo bands.
Lets get some more badass music like disturbed on here! - shinedownlove shinedown, play more from them; love the wicked song; play more saving abel
- new musici listen all day at home, play more new songs like saving abel, all of the above too!
- Cage the ElephantAwesome, awesome group from my home state of KY. Keep playing them!!
- Ain't no rest for the wickedI love this song. I always hear the the teaser you guys play on the radio station and I walk around the office all day singing it.
- all of themall the songs are good but shinedown is by far the best
- Sound of MadnessI LOVE this song. Shindown's got the right idea with their new CD. They're rocking it and they're even better live. This is definitely a keeper. Play this song as much as you want!

I really like rock music. I think the rest of the city does too. Putting Passion Pit against The Pretty Reckless is putting to completely different genres of music against each other, and rock is winning by a long haul.
What it boils down to, is since Planet's disappearance, you guys are holding the torch for playing the newest and best rock music, and playing stuff like Passion Pit is going to make the majority of Jacksonville turn off your station.
