There are 4 music stations I can listen to in San Antonio: one each of classical, rock, alternative, and metal. Everything else is pop, latin, or country. My favorite is the alternative station; I like most of what they play but it's not stuff I've heard a thousand times. (Except for when they sometimes play country. Sorry guys, country is not "alternative." Especially not in Texas.)
But a couple days ago I'd turn it on in the morning driving in to work and get some latin crap. What the hell? I switched back and forth unhappily between the other stations. When I got closer to work I tried it again and this time I got the alternative station.
I thought some other station must have started up and was overpowering the poor little alternative college-radio transmitter.
But last night when I got the latin I decided to wait for the station ID to see what was going on. When the song ended the DJ started interviewing the singer, some fairly popular guy from Brazil who's won a few awards. (Although he's not that popular -- I tried to google him based on knowing that his first name was Alexander, he's from Brazil, and he's on tour in the US now including SA this weekend. I failed.) So the latin crap was from this guy's latest album to promote his tour. Presumably Monday all will be back to normal.
Whew.

LOL. Are you sure is Alexander and not Alexandre?
Alexandre Pires is a famous singer in Brazil..I do not like his songs though LOL.
That's probably him, then. Although I still can't google [alexandre pires "san antonio"] or [alexandre pires sxsw] (a music festival in nearby austin).
I hate not knowing for sure. Oh well. :)
