"I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day." -Douglas Adams

I forgot to mention this before: There's a pirate FM radio station in the heart of San Diego, Free Radio San Diego 96.9. They broadcast a bizarre mixture of indie-rock/hip-hop/eclectica and indie news stuff. They've been around for several months. The FCC wants to shut them down. But they can't find them. Check out the "FCC" button on their site. Odd how the FCC hasn't been able to can them yet, when a local news station found them with a cheap Wal-Mart radio. It's a fun station. Where else can I hear Sleater-Kinney next to the Dead Kennedys next to Deerhoof next to a track from the most recent David Byrne album next to three indistiguishable indie rock songs in a row? Perhaps while listening to random selections from my own collection, but, otherwise, nowhere, that's where. And the fight-the-power factor is through the roof.
