Right on Kent! This is, over all, one of my favorite streams -- consistently interesting! Variety, plenty of Detroit representation, and a sense of humor. The other day I was on and in the same hour or three you can hear Gas, Stereolab, X-103, Gary Numan, Arab Strap, The Martian, Geto Boys, Ilkae, NewOrder, CiM, Club 8, Astrobotnia, Camper Van Beethoven, Hab, Tom & Elis, Monolake, Leonard Nimoy!?! and a host of indie bands I've never heard of before and can't remember anyway. In the spirit of Mojo, there's a subcurrent of the better B-side or album cut you barely remember now, but in retrospect it's better than the single you knew so well in the first place. And you can usually count on hearing some Drexciya or Dopplereffekt during your stay. The direct station page is <http://www.live365.com/stations/20005> It's "Genre free internet radio," but longtime 313'er D.W. takes the smart bets wherever he finds them on the musical spectrum. If you're needing some tasty side-dishes to your musical diet look no further. peace, Matt MacQueen
