Ooh, see, this is why I need to get me a laptop posthaste: internet radio. I mean, I can always listen to it when I'm on the internet, but this generally a specific block late at night. :p When I had a friend's old laptop for a while before it broke down I was streaming WUMB constantly and getting all teary-eyed from sheer nostalgia. Discovering music by downloading it is fun, but serendipitiously hearing a spellbinding song is a treat I have not had in some time. (Also lately I have been missing most of the Thistle & Shamrock, and our local public radio folk show on Saturdays and Sundays, which is mostly a lot of tepid no-names and tepid big-names with occasional brilliance thrown in -- IF I NEVER HEAR ANOTHER PENNSYLVANIA BLUEGRASS BAND IT WILL BE TOO SOON -- and this is sad.)

Oh, this is gorgeous, it is. Nick Cave has such a marvellous voice -- I have an especial love for men with deep voices who are never quite technically perfect.
