What you say is true enough.  I listen to Live 105 fairly frequently; at the 
wrong time, I guess.  I have even heard Constellation of the Heart a couple 
times.  I think what I really object to is the overall radio trend that I see 
(or is it hear), in that there seems to be a fixed song or songs by an artist 
that get constant play, regardless of the caliber of their other work.  I think 
this affects the exposure of Kate's music more than it does other, more readily 
available artists.  For example, Peter Gabriel also has the same songs in 
constant rotation, but he has the fortune to have a larger number of songs in 
that rotation.  It does make it more of a treat when a Kate song is played on 
the radio, though.  

 
As a matter of fact, last week a woman won a contest on a local radio station 
where the prize was the chance to request any song from the stations "amazing" 
music library.  Her choice, to my delight, was Eat the Music.  Good choice, 
that.
