Yeah, it would make a difference to know the kind of music I do. Best example is if you look up "Shadow Complex Theme" on YouTube. I did the theme song for that video game recently and it's one that I'd push to radio if I were to push a song to radio of any kind.

Satellite radio probably is a great option. I'll definitely look into that!! Thanks for the tip!

I apreciate music, and still listen to the radio. The thing that pisses me off is that when a new Black Eyed Peas song comes out, it's played like 3 times an hour, does my box in. So I usually find myself switching chanels alot.

No I hate the radio. If they had a station dedicated to the 90s though, I'd be all over it. Until then I'll stick to my weird stuff that I doubt will be played on the radio anytime soon.

Canwll: Well here, at the weekends 2 stations do a special electronica thing, ones called GBXperience (DO NOT BUY THE CD) but maybe you would be interested in the podcasts, I mean it's alright. It plays some really good tunes, that are easily forgettable.

I still don't know how to use the radio in my car, tho I've had it for more than a year. I stopped listening to the radio since 2005, it just used to annoy me.

Sorry to disappoint, yet again, but I don't play in bars either. I don't know if you could make $100K in bars,anyway. Casinos, maybe. But I've never played in a casino before and I don't plan on changing that one...
