    No, it gravitates to me. :wink:

    Growing up in BR I was friends with the owners of Leisure Landing on Chimes, they helped to open my ears up.

    Then when I moved here in '79 I discovered 6-8 excellent college stations locally, including KFJC, KALX, KZSU, and others. I really enjoy free form stuff, it is interesting and challenges your tastes.

    Some but not a lot. IMO most of it has been played into the ground and I find 95-98% of mainstream music, both new and old, banal and mundane. I actively listen to discover good new music.

    It's out there, trust me, but you gotta look for it.


    1400+, plus 3000 mp3 songs.

    Although I was saying Finger Bang way before SouthPark ever came out.....they had the idea of the band name first so I guess I'm guilty as charged!
