the current rocks!

is this the best new radio station in america? launched just 2 weeks ago, minnesota's public radio group (MPR) has unleashed what they call the 'free format' radio station the current.

with no real playlist policy, dj's basically play broad music based on personal tastes and they also retell stories of how they discovered classic bands that influenced them.

i've been listening to this station non-stop and it's amazing! in the past hour alone, i've heard everyone from the arcade fire to the concretes to kings of convenience. it's pure brilliance if you ask me!

please go check them out online and if you feel the need, pledge money cause public radio like this needs to be listened to.
