y100. I think it's www.y100.com. That's Philadelphia's alternative station (I think they call themselves "new rock" now). 's good. No women except Dido and Poe and nothing really old, although they do play a lot of 90's Pearl Jam. They always release new songs before the allowed date, so that's pretty cool.

CD 101. Seriously. It's the little station that could.

Here's a possible list to choose from.

If you like American music, there's this station called Antennae Radio that the C is very fond of.

Gah! WDVX! They broadcast out of a camper in east Tennessee. There is some good music to be had, here.

As a lady said on the Frank Ski morning show this morning, "Now, I know that Alicia Keys has Clive in her corner, so she won the Grammy's, and India Arie doesn't have anyone pushing her in her corner, so she didn't win a Grammy, but I had never heard of this O Brother Where Art Thou band - who are they? Where'd they come from? And who do they have in THEIR corner to win all those Grammy awards??"

Lucinda Williams covered "Passionate Kisses"? Huh. Learn something new daily, we do.

-- Anonymous, March 06, 2002

No, no. Lucinda WROTE Passionate Kisses and Mary Chapin Carpenter covered it.

Well, apparently Lucinda recorded a version as well. In my (weak) defense, the first version I heard was a cover by a Swat a cappella group.

I swear, I nearly typed "meagre" and "defence." I'm not trying to be Snooty McBritSpell, here . . .

And I did not mean to disrespect Lucinda. You know that, right, HB? I am most heartily shamed.

Lucinda wrote it and recorded it on her self-titled album, but Mary Chapin-Carpenter won the Grammy for her version (not that the Grammy awards mean a damn thing). But - I have to confess that I like the MC-C version a little better than Lucinda's - kind of how while I like hearing Willie Nelson sing "Crazy" - seeing as how he wrote that song, and all - I definitely prefer Patsy's version.)

This is pretty sad, both because I listened to quite a bit of Fox 97 growing up (and thus I will brook no dissing of Tommy James & the Shondells, not even "Crystal Blue Persuasion") and because they don't seem to grasp that they lost their listeners their own selves. 400 songs? Is nothing.

But then again all the radio station playlists in Atlanta seem to be shrinking lately. I remember when 99X actually played "new" music, not simply claimed to in between playing Incubus/Staind/etc. Even the oldies R&B station couldn't cut it. Sigh.
