Reply #52: Thanks for pointing that out. It makes a lot of sense

Before I went to Europe in 1994, I used to listen to a lot of radio. The stations were pretty decent up to this point, especially in DC where I was stationed. A lot of great hip-hop, dance music, international Latin and African, soul and rock. The stations were teeming with a lot of great stuff.

I even taped a lot of my favorite shows, and this is what I listened to when I went to Germany. Germans, though I love them have horrible taste in radio programming.

When I got back to the states in 1998, I realized that things had changed and lot. Even in DC. Everything sucked and sucked hard.

I was left to listening to those tapes I had made years earlier and in comparing them to what was being played on the radio them was striking. Especially, on those "Clear Channel" stations.

It took me some time, but I discovered that I could find decent music on Internet only radio stations. One thing lead to another and I eventually found my current sources of Underground music.

Since then, I haven't looked back to radio of video channels.
