YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Larry--You are sadly mistaken--I have heard Kate Bush many times on WXPN
both on their new music show (Yesterday's Now Music Today) and the space-
art rock show (Diaspar). I wouldn't consider WMMR a pioneer in new music--
they're like evry other big rock station--they play it safe until something's
a hit--They never played Tears For Fears OR Simple Minds until both bands
had Top 40 singles. 

Larry--the most "with it" station in Philly is Drexel University's WKDU--
they play new music all the time. WXPN has one new music show a day--that's
it.
