Vinally Friday – 9/21
There’s lots of fun trivia about what’s arguably the greatest rock album of this millennium – most notably the legend of its initial rejection by label execs, a subsidiary of which released it in full the very next year. But most critics will tell you what makes Wilco‘s fourth studio release, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, so […]
Great music – but resourceful too!
While a second place for one of our station basset hounds at the Pet Fest peanut butter lick elicited quite a bit of pride here at the Trail 103.3 this weekend, there was another accomplishment about which we’re having a hard time keeping quiet. Yes, the rumors are true: Our mishmash of office monkeys earned […]
See Bob Weir for FREE!
It’s no secret Grateful Dead fans love the Trail 103.3 Perhaps it’s because we’re where Missoulians go to enjoy the Grateful Dead Hour each and every week. Or perhaps it’s simply because we play the Dead on the Trail. A lot. But either way, we’re proud of our relationship with fans of the legendary group […]

What’s most interesting about Paul McCartney’s career today is not simply that he’s still alive and rockin’, but that he keeps finding ways to reinvent himself. I mean, you’d think after five-plus decades of legendary status he’d be content to just phone it in, collect his dues and spend as little time in the studio […]

Somewhere between the death of Ziggy Stardust and the birth of The Thin White Duke lies one of David Bowie’s more misunderstood albums. Yeah, so the Ziggy persona wasn’t really entirely absent from the English rocker’s eighth studio release, 1974’s Diamond Dogs. But it was clear glam rock was, and with the first album in […]
The best festivals have pets!
They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But apparently you can’t teach an old dog to do old tricks better, either. Or at least that was the lesson for our station’s general manager, Becky Smith, when she and her beloved Bassett Hound Buford competed in the Peanut Butter Lick at the annual […]
Get your alternative on!
Yeah, yeah – we’ve heard it before: Missoula traffic is so bad. But coming from a guy who just spent nearly three weeks in California, I have to say that a slight slowdown during rush hour on a single major thru-way (I’m looking at you, North Reserve) is really laughable. Seriously – there is someone […]

It’s been quite the year for Lukas Nelson. In addition to touring as backing band for Neil Young – and both appearing in and writing for upcoming Bradley Cooper/Lady Gaga remake A Star is Born – Lukas, son of Willie, has also been working on a new album with the group he fronts, Promise of […]
