Okay Larry, in all fairness I will tell you--I have heard her at least
once a week on both of these shows (honest). You may not *know* whne you're
hearing her because I have heard her many times when they didn't bother to
tell you that it was her.(especially true on diaspar) Diaspar has only started
playing her heavily this year (I'll concede that much).

WKDU is good if you like new english new music. No, not every show
is good (I am not a big fan of the hardcore shows) but there is an awful
lot that is good--it's one of the few places I can hear about bands from england(YNMT on WXPN leans toward american new music)
