If you guys and gals have not checked out Chad's live365 station, all I can
say
is go do it. The man's got the hottest playlist on the web. I suspect the
large
majority of the subscribers here will find something they like. Granted,
it's
pure downtempo, but offers a very diverse range of artists.
Chad -- distribute your station link to the group my man...
