If you mean not like WYSP, I'll agree with you--but I wouldn't consider them a new music station in any sense of the word--just like any other large rock station--and Kate Bush is a new artist. >>>> >>>> >>> ...Paul,at the risk of starting another nine-rounder,I'm afraid >>> I'm gonna hafta ask ya to give a more precise definition of "many >>> time".I listened to YNMT quite often and really don't remember e- >>> ver hearing her.Now I don't listen to Diaspar often but randomly >>> so I should get a good distribution of what they play.(I used to >>> listen often last year).Any Kate??

The way I know she is being played is that my brother is a Kate Bush freak (I'm not condoning or condemning that--I am not a Kate Bush fan AT ALL)and when both of us have been listening to diaspar or YNMT he has informed me that Kate Bush is being played. (He has many of her albums) Larry--listen to Fictitious on YNMT and on Diaspar--he's the DJ that plays her the most. I have especially heard a lot on Diaspar of her recently--mostly from her new album. >> > Paul it takes guts to come to Doug > Alan's aid,you're to be com- > mended first,then lynched, > > Larry Palena Editor's Note: Paul is not a KB fan.
