What some people in more culturally affluent cities (NYC, London, SF, etc.) don't realize is that radio airplay content is even worse in the smaller, less culturally affluent cities, and those that know better and live in these small cities have very little to listen to. I'll take Chem. Bros. or Prodigy ANY DAY OF THE WEEK over the likes of The Offspring, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. ,blah, blah. We're not saying it's great, it's just a damn sight better. And it will only improve the overall spectrum of sounds that so called "alternative radio" can provide. Halve Phun, James
