Right on Monk! I live here in San Antonio, home to the Clowdy Channel
mothership. Radio pretty much sucks here. I listen to the college
stations in my car, and the iTunes stations at work (props to Baby-Ace
radio). Corporate music is a terrible thing: the same 3 songs all day
long-that should be illegal.
