Free Music!
I'm just sharing the love with the list...
It was a tough call, but I almost included The Witness Exchange on the list... I'm a regular reader of 3hive as well, I may have to do a list of numbers as well sometime.
Marquis... there couldn't be a list of online music without Said the Gramophone, it's an institution!

Sad day for music.
He was a true champion of good music. John Peel introduced me to too many bands to mention, I'll miss him greatly.

Nipsey Russell's Funky Palace
Plus, Nipsey was a car hop at The Varsity in Atlanta, serving the masses "allaway" dogs and Varsity Oranges at the world's largest drive-in restaurant, which adds immensely to his cool factor.

Born Again Liberal!
Unfortunately, the statewide referendum (to be held September 9th) is polling about twenty points short of passing, and shows no sign of gaining positive momentum. At the bare minimum, Riley has broached the subject of tax reform statewide, and provided a better alternative than his predecessor's ill-fated lottery referendum to cure the state's financial woes.

Where exactly does he get all that urine anyway?
We had a drug-testing firm locally that used Calvin peeing in a specimen jar as their logo, even placing a large sign on the major highway through the city. I never heard why, but they did change the logo after about six months.

Actually, all 67 counties' machines are not tested and tallied in the same place. Several counties (the bigger ones) own their own machines and maintain and program them. The others are leased by Election Systems & Software, which has an office in Birmingham (where I worked for five years, in charge of programming election machines for Alabama and elsewhere).

Where do you find new music? I have so much music...
I trade mix CD's, roughly every month, with a makeshift bunch of music lovers, some found through , Burn, Baby, Burn, some friends, and some online acquaintances. I am exposed to many musical genres and styles this way, and I get to promote the indie music I love.
I also listen to several music streams, especially No Love For Ned, Left Of The Dial, and Power Pop Radio.
Lately my best source of new music has been the Postal Blowfish mailing list... [more]

"I Knew A Woman" Theodore Roethke
Don't forget the power of Oprah, she has elevated Maya beyond merely bestseller and into the mythdom of soothsayer.
