Mystery Listener Card #2
Anybody know where this listener card come from? There was the short-lived KAKC "KC 93" in the mid-1970s in Tulsa, Oklahoma but they were Top-40. KACI in The Dalles, Oregon was known as "KC 93.5" but they didn't move to that frequency until 2012. Help!

WPLJ
Last night my wife and I went to the Fraze Pavilion to watch the Led Zeppelin cover band Get The Led Out. After getting up at 3:30 AM that morning and working 13 hours, I wouldn't have been too bummed out if the earlier downpours had continued and we decided to skip this outdoor show. Thankfully, the weather cleared and we got to experience a fantastic concert. GTLO are a dead-on sounding Zeppelin tribute band. They don't set out to look like the band (the singer admitted to looking like Howard Stern...although one guitarist looked an awful lot like Robert Plant) but rather concentrate on re-creating the sound of Zeppelin's studio albums. They even pulled out a theremin and what I think was a bit of turntablism to produce the mid-song freakout from Whole Lotta Love. Great show all around.

Mystery Listener Card
I found this listener card misfiled under KTXQ when I was pulling stickers for yesterday's post. Clearly, they share the same design but are one dial position off. Anyone know where this "Q101" card is from? The best known station with that branding is probably WKQX in Chicago but it's unknown if they ever had this logo.
