Re: After a year as a Kate fan...

Hey, I live in NYC and I have about six Kate albums, does that make me cool?
Just kidding. Anyways, I think the ironic problem with living in NYC, 
being the cultural mecca of the States, is that people can't get exposed 
to real 'alternative' music. Most of the stations in NY are out to make a 
buck, not make people's minds expand. I grew up in a college town and so 
we had the benefits of an ecclectic college radio station, something NY 
doesn't, and even if it did, no one can get in any radio station besides 
the major ones because of all the tall buildings and volumes of signals 
in the city. Also, kate has not toured in a really long time and the way 
most punk/wacky type music people get to experience new music is through 
shows. I have met other Kate fans, but they are few and far between.
