28 years on, and over a decade since it's sign-off, WPBZ 103.1 The Buzz FM continues to have a dedicated impact on the South Florida community.

In our love letter to the seminal FM alternative station, we speak with some of it's former radio hosts on their experiences, as well as take a deeper look into the ripple effect it's absence has left.

(Pictured Above: 2008 Logo for the Buzz Bake Sale, WPBZ’s annual music festival) While the station signed off the FM airwaves in 2011, its impact, disappearance and legacy remains prominent to this...

I know, it's been a while, and we missed you too.

We had a special post planned for yesterday afternoon which will still be posted albeit slightly late.

While it's a surprise, we can say it's a bit of a local love letter and tribute to one of the greatest musical influences in Southern Florida that helped nurture generations under its wing.

Stay tuned for Friday's posting.... 🤘

Happy Saturday!!!
We know, it's been a bit.
This post is a little more personal, and a bit on the real-er side of things.

As you may or may not know, the Readable Noise team is a one woman show run by yours truly, J. DeGuzman.
I am the sole editor, writer, creator, photographer, promotional team, (breathes in deep), coordinator and project manager. And we often have guest collaboration as well, which we also love and are appreciative for every time.

I do this in addition to working a 7a-5p job, and in between it all, enjoy life as well.

The past year has been rough. I lost a parent, got a new job and a residence of my own, which in this economy, is not easy.
I've been trying to arrange projects, but I have quite honestly, been burning myself to a point of a shortening wick.

So, I'm making the right but difficult choice, which is to limit the amount of projects Readable Noise will be covering this year to a few choice selections.
We will be highlighting a few of our favorite artists for this year's return of Purehoney Magazine 's long awaited BUMBLEFEST 2022: Sept 2 & 3 (which we hope to see you ALL at ❤️), and have a few more on the back burner as well.

But I wanted to let you all know, while we may not be posting as much for the rest of 2022, we are watching 👀
Not like creepy old Saint Nick and doing it AS YOU SLEEP, but, you know, watching.

We also would like to remind you all to take care of yourselves as well. It's easy to overwork, overdo and get down to the nubs or bare bones in the busyness of it all.

Life is about the little moments, the big events and the people, places and events that make it good in the midst of the clouds. Take it all in, and put your well being first. ❤️
We have a few posts coming for this weekends events that we are posting separately, standby and thank you all as always for your understanding ❤️

Sincerely,
J. DeGuzman

WEST PALM BEACH , Respectable Street has quite the hookup for you this weekend...

Not only do you have Thirst headlining a show with No Coffin , Pieced Up and TONIGHT (July 29th) to bestow some of the best metal sounds in the county and, dare we say, the state; but Saturday (July 30th) has quite the treat as well.

The Darling Fire will be heading their own bill alongside Embers Dawn and for you fine folks!

And while August has quite the packed bill for all counties statewide, why not send off July right?

Today is and we wanted to reach out here to tell you all: don't give up.
For those suffering with any mental illness, you are not alone, and you are more than your negative thoughts or feelings. Take time, and remind yourself that you are stronger than these temporary tides. And take as much time as you need.

For those who have friends, family or loved ones that struggle with mental illness, reach out and pop a hello or a random meme at times.

And if you're not having a particularly good day today, we got you.
We've got two spacey mixes for you: a Star Wars lo-fi mix that goes well with a nice cup of cocoa and some chill TV in the background; or the latest from La Science des Reves, which is perfect for meditation or creating art for your mind.

Click both whenever you feel, and sending all the good vibes today and all days, friends.

A quick personal note from your friendly neighborhood Editor:

We haven't forgotten you, Dear Florida.
We are cooking up a great deal of goodies for you, and have been trying our best to push them out.
There are some personal and familial issues happening right now that I'm trying to address, and have been delaying the steps to get these goodies to you.

I apologize for the time, but it shall only get fonder and I promise, all the adventures we have will be worth it.

Thanks for sticking with us, and stay tuned....
