NOT QUITE ON THE AIR BUT CLOSE

There's good news and bad news. The bad news is that Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban is no longer. The good news is that they're now Boss Radio 66, a channel at MixCloud with online radio shows featuring the same mob plus, it appears, guest DJs. The whole lot of 'em are or were affiliated with WFMU and if you know that station, you know what they're about, namely (in their words) "garage, funk, go-go, psych, rhythm & blues, rockabilly, soul, sound bites, movie trailers and tons more nonsense 24 hours every day". Yee haw!

Because everyone and their mother have smart phones at this point, it's getting harder to find downloads particularly single songs. If you can stream from someone else's cloud, why bother downloading? I get that. Guess what? I'm the last hold out. I don't have a cell phone at all because I don't want to pay for the privilege of having a distraction in my pocket. It's awesome, you should try leaving your phone at home sometime. Pretend you're camping or something.

You're not the last holdout.
I still do not have a mobile telephone. I do not like how they poke a huge hole in the 4th Amendment. This, not the 2nd, is the Amendment dying by a thousand cuts, with phone providers, large on-line conglomerates, and non-governmental agencies undertaking the 'unreasonable' searches.
