See, that's what the people who complain about a song getting played 2 or 3 times in a week don't get: there's a space in your head for a song to get stuck in. If you're lucky, it's this song. :-P If you're silly enough to listen to the usual FM dreck, you have only yourself to blame.

Oh, and thanks, B&B, for putting album covers on track pages, as that sticks in my mind better than CD titles and makes it easier for me to pick CDs out when I'm in the shops (yeah, old school I know, but I still go into record shops rather than buy online - it's the serendipity factor I like).

 
Right said Fred!

I used to be a Great Lake swimmer. I spent a lot of time in Lake Erie as a kid. That may explain why I glow in the dark today.

You are so right, Fred!  I too, stopped listening to FM radio years ago because I got so enraged listening to bellowing DJ's with IQ's less than that of a mosquito.  I'd turn the radio off after 5 minutes, even if the music was ok.  And I too have spent more money since I've caught on to RP about 18 months ago than I did in the 12 years previous, when the FM stations went downhill in Toronto.
 
Frankly, I don't know how any person can actually listen to any FM radio station.  Not only are the DJs retarded, corporate owned doofs, but all the blaring, repetitive commercials are enough to drive a sane, awake being to off himself/herself.  {#Wall}

That's funny — where I live, the hackneyed cliché is "IQ less than Dubya," but I kind of like the mosquito version.

Yep, I could cite a similar number of CDs I've bought because, and only because, I've heard the artists on RP. I've spent a good couple of hundred quid on the record industry which I'd otherwise not have spent because I quit listening to shitty music FM ages ago (too much yak and ads and egotistic DJs playing plastic McMusic). Yet a while back RP and other internet stations were being threatened with having to pay crippling royalties on the spurious grounds that that folk getting music for free won't dip into their pockets for CDs. Luckily that threat's receded for now, but if it returns I'm sure Bill & Becky could get listeners to put together lists of stuff we've bought and roughly how much we've spent, and I'd suspect that the figure would run into tens of thousands of CDs and hundreds of thousands of pounds/dollars/euros/monetary unit of choice.
