I take it back. I've said that Phoenix radio sucks royally. And that's still true, at least as far as the local "traditional" stations go. But I've discovered a new concept - Internet Radio. And it just so happens there's a great station here in Phoenix.
.
And it's free!! And you don't have to be in Arizona to enjoy it. You can find it at www.radiofreephoenix.com. Oh my! At long last, I can once again hear groups like
.
Mason Proffit
Renaissance
Randy Newman
It's A Beautiful Day
Melanie
Ian Dury & The Blockheads
Beat Farmers
Incredible String Band
.
...and a slew more. It isn't perfect. They don't list Al Kooper, Strawbs, or Jaime Brockett on their artists list. Then again, Firesign Theatre (who?, you say) isn't listed either, and they played a cut from them tonight.
.
So check it out! And rejoice that there still is an alternative to the repetitive, "vanilla" drivel that fouls up the airwaves on my car's radio.
