Are you trying to make me move to Chicago? Any plans to have your shows
broadcast in MD? :)  Wow!

Tori & Natalie Merchant & Sarah McLachlan & Maire Brennan & Diamanda Galas
& Siouxsie & Juliana Hatfield & Liz Fraser & Harriet Wheeler & Emma Anderson &
Johnette Napolitano & Miranda Sex Garden & Cranes & Julee Cruise &&&&&&

I give up. Pardon me while I pass out, overwhelmed...

Ok, thanks. Do you play: L7, Curve, (The) Breeders, My Bloody Valentine or
lulabox?

Do you think if I put up a *really big* antenna I could get WZRD in MD?
Down here the most to-my-liking station I've found is WHFS, which is nice,
but a long way off of your format.

(I'm not trying to slag off MD/DC/VA stations, I just haven't heard any that
sounded like WZRD. If anyone knows of one, please tell me. I'd like to find
one.)

And congratulations on your soon-anniversary.

  --Chris

P.S. - I'm faxing your playlist to WHFS with a polite suggestion that they
  borrow a clue.
