Man, I gave up on radio when I was a teen; actually, from basically the
first moment that I took an interest in contemporary "pop/rock/whatever"
I realized that nobody was playing anything I liked on the radio.  Some
college stations in the Boston area played some interesting stuff, but
by then I was already dead set against radio and never really bothered
to listen.  I can't actually remember the last time I _owned_ a radio
(don't have one now).  I suppose some of the Walkmans I used to have
probably had one .... Oh, when I last lived in the States, I had a car,
and _that_ had a radio in it, I guess!  So about four years :)

I pick up new music by osmosis, I guess :)  Quite a lot from this list,
back in the day (like Hawkwind, for example :)

Cheers,
Carl
