Dreams Do Come True...
WXRT now is (finally) steaming over the internet. Trust me, no matter how long and hard people in Chicago complain XRT is not what is used to be, it's still at least 10 times better than almost anything else around the country, and especcially here in Rockford. Is it what is used to be? No, of course not. But the strength of the station is the music and the DJs. People listeners have known for more than a decade. I would have paid to hear Bobby Skafish and Lin Brehmer and Tom Marker again. Now I get to hear them for free.
In the first of a series, I present songs I probably would not have known about if not for XRT Streaming on the net:
Jack Johnson -- Taylor: I liked Flake, and I do think Johnson is more than Dave Matthews lite. The songs I've heard from him do a great job of creating mood and feeling. Taylor does this perfectly and is a great acoustic guitar workout too. At the very least it beats hearing Britney Spears for the 100th time on the Top 40 station out here or more Jackson Browne on the classic rock station.
