woxy holiday mixer is back

From now through the New Year, we're pleased to offer up the WOXY HOLIDAY MIXER! This unique 24/7 collection features hundreds of seasonal tunes and is filled with unique renditions of your holiday favorites by modern rockers from around the globe. We have a little bit of something for everyone. This year, we've added almost 100 new tracks to the mix from bands like Frightened Rabbit, Low, Goldfrapp, Gentleman Auction House, Rogue Wave, Blitzen Trapper, Evangelicals, Jason Collett, and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. You'll also hear modern rock faves like Sufjan Stevens, Belle and Sebastian, My Morning Jacket, The Flaming Lips, and Yo La Tengo heavily featured in the music mix along with some things you might not expect (like tracks from "A John Waters Christmas", Pee Wee Herman, or Spinal Tap).

new woxy 25th anniversary tees!

The Future Of Rock And Roll hit the airwaves on Labor Day weekend back in 1983. With a milestone like this, we'd be crazy not to commemorate it with something special.

We've again hooked up with our friends at Wire & Twine to bring you the official WOXY 25th Anniversary shirt. This five color, limited edition design is hand printed on a cream colored American Apparel shirt in both men's and women's sizes. Like previous WOXY shirts, we are doing a pre-order. Last day to order is Friday, Dec 5th. We will begin printing the week of Dec 8th and begin shipping at the end of the week.



As a special treat for anyone who orders an additional two shirts from Wire & Twine (which dont' have to be the 25th Anniversary shirt) you will receive a FREE a 12" record from the WOXY vinyl archives. These pieces of history once lined the walls of our original studios in Oxford, OH. Much of the vinyl has the date stamp stickers indicating when the album was played and includes all the wear and tear from the good old days of analogue. A true treat for any WOXY fan. Offer good while supplies last.

Head on over to the Wire And Twine store and order yours now...

the future of rock and roll turns 25

We've recently celebrated a pretty extraordinary milestone here at The Future Of Rock And Roll. On Labor Day weekend back in 1983, Doug & Linda Balogh flipped the switch on an FM radio station up in Oxford, Ohio. They sent over the following message to share with WOXY fans past and present and we'd like to share it with you.

25 years ago this weekend, U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" birthed the beginning of a dream ... 97X. A couple of decades later many of you listened to Steve Baker's eloquent final paragraph at midnight on May 13, 2004, when we closed the chapter on the "radio station."

We lived the American Dream for 23 years, working alongside so many talented, dedicated people who shared the passion ... too many to mention, but you know who you are! Little David did show Goliath that BIG isn't always better.

We want to say THANK YOU to the 97X People ~ staff and listeners ~ who forged that common bond of loyalty to the music. Dare To Dream, Dare To Do. A heartfelt standing ovation to you all.

BAM! ~ Doug and Linda Balogh, from retirement

P.S. We're soooooo glad and proud that The Music continues ~ with the same ethos ~ via woxy.com.
