I'm inbetween iPods at the moment, and so slave to the fickleness that is my car's radio antenna. As luck would have it, though, the first station in Seattle to come in clear was KEXP. KEXP is a listener-supported effort with top-notch programming, and a live stream to boot.

One of the songs getting a lot of play there lately, and deservedly so, is Citizen Cope's "Brother Lee". Do not operate heavy machinery while listening to this song, however, as speeding tickets may ensue.

Stan:	Okay, that'll work fine. Listen, there's a dance competition this Saturday and I need good dancers so I don't get served.
Red Goth:	[flips his hair back] No way. Dancing is something you do alone in your room at three in the morning.
Stan:	[walks up to the red Goth] Please, you guys, our whole town's reputation is at stake! Will any of you do it?
Red Goth:	I'm not doin' it. Being in a dance group is totally conformist.
Henrietta:	Yeah. I'm not conforming to some dance-off regulations.
Little Goth:	I'm not doin' it either. I'm the biggest nonconformist of all.
Tall Goth:	I'm such a nonconformist that I'm not going to conform with the rest of you. Okay, I'll do it. [rises and walks over to Stan]
Stan:	Great! [they leave together]
Henrietta:	Whoa. I think we just got put in our place.
Red Goth:	Yeah. We just got Goth-served.

Every week a few Ninja Tune DJs, and sometimes their friends, get together put on a smashing radio show that rivals even their live performances, and I've been lucky enough to attend a few. Oh, and for you podcast junkies, they've got an abridged Solid Steel, too.

Due to a freak backup accident, I've lost all of my MP3s and just haven't had the time to track them down again. In the meanwhile, the soundtrack to my life has been provided by Secret Agent. Tracks range from classic spy film themes, to drum 'n' bass perfectly suited for a modern day car chase. Ideal music to hack by, I find.
