I can't say enough good things about StrangeWays Radio. A friend who shares musical tastes with me introduced me to the station a few months back, and I'm hooked. It plays music you can't find played anywhere else. I especially enjoy the Black Planet and Vicious Pink shows by DJ Pinknoise on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
