Call off the firing squad--it looks as though Internet radio will live to see another day. Thanks to....mounting pressure from congressional lawmakers, the Internet radio industry no longer appears likely to face the premature death that supporters had warned was imminent under the new rates.
Well, that seems like good news. I've come to really enjoy and appreciate internet radio; it's pretty cool to find a station playing some great music or offering interesting discussions whether it's across town or across the pond. I can somewhat understand where the royalty gestapo is coming from when money is concerned, but make it fair all the way around and either stop the payola, or force the stations themselves to play by the same rules on the non-streaming side of things.

Tonight's replay is...jeez...15 years old?!? The immensely popular (at the time)Stone Temple Pilots album, Core. The thing I remember is how well this music sounded while drinking quite a few Coors Lights listening to a buddy of mine explain away his third divorce...
