In the "Gainesville kicks ass" department

Hmmm, I start work tomorrow. Why am I writing a blog post at midnight? Probably because I just got into town, after getting an extremely late start from Banecker's place (lateness due largely to the usual me and Banecker activities).

Or maybe it's because I just encountered a kick ass radio station. It's 100.5 The Buzz (not to be confused with Nashville's 102.9 The Buzz or Houston's 94.5 The Buzz). This station, based in Gainesville, is awesome for this reason. During the hour and a half or so that I was able to pick up its transmission, I heard the Shins and the New Pornographers, neither of whom I'd ever encountered on the radio before. In addition, I heard several other solid songs I'd never heard before, but sadly I didn't get the artists. The station isn't perfect (the second song I heard was the Beastie Boys, whose music should really be purged from existence) but definitely solid, and one of the few that actually earns the category "alternative".

Anyway, bedtime.

Song lyric of the day:
"And if you had took to me
Like a gull takes to the wind
Well I'd have jumped from my tree
And I'd have danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would have fared well"
- the Shins, New Slang
