Alright, for starters, if you're not listening to 3wk yet, you must start now! These folks have it all right as far as I'm concerned. Free underground internet radio--modern and classic. You can pay for a Hi-Fi signal if you want, but the lo-fi isn't too bad.
I've picked up so many new bands and titles--old and new--on the constant stream from 3wk! My favorite memory of listening to 3wk is a recurring one--ah the memories. . .(note to self, start a discussion on recurring dreams--I've got some doozies!). . .listening to the classic underground half, sort of passively, and hearing someone just ripping on vocals. I thought to myself, "Man, that sounds like Jeff Buckley. I wonder who it is." So, I click over to the player and there it is--Tim Buckley, Gypsy Woman!. Now I have heard of Jeff's dad before and have even downloaded the occasional MP3, but I had never heard anything like this. I resisted the urge to go home, turn off the lights and dive into my depression listening to Grace and, instead, linked to Insound where I bought my first Tim Buckley CD.
That's all for now. Sorry if this came out like an ad for 3wk. I just couldn't help myself.
