HOLY... What a life I lead. Since last March I've been busy with moving. Being responsible for an elderly, disabled and increasingly senile mother and seven (that's right, 7) cats is a 24/7/365 thing. I was offline most of the time since April 1st - I was running Windows ME on an old Compaq with dial-up, and I let everything languish. Then I bought me a spankin' new iMac and slipped into a broadband connection, and I've been configuring and tweaking until recently. I finally reconnected with Soundclick, and I found I really missed being able to access so much excellent music that unfortunately never gets the radio exposure it deserves (I'm so sick of Top 40 I could hurl); I really miss the so-called "underground" FM stations of yesteryear (late 60's to early 80's) that played whatever they wanted and "payola" be damned. I live in the central Oregon area and it's inundated with drugstore-cowboy-country hackers and shallow-sultry diva-wanabe clones. The best station in the area is a tiny non-commercial one that broadcasts out of a Eugene high school, and that gives you an idea of the mindset of the locals in general. Where did it all go wrong?
