    Wel, in Mexico City, acid jazz, in the extended sense used in this list
    (NuJazz, downtempo, rare groove, et. al.) is all over the radio. 90.5 fm
    plays it almost exclusively (when it is playing music, instead of talk
    news which takes about a third of its airtime, half of its daytime), while
    other stations, like 90.9 fm, 96.9 fm and even 98.5 fm, which is almost
    all rock, have a surprisingly high concentration of it in their playlists.
    not to mention that it has become tha background music de jour in every
    hip or hip wannabe site in town: from galleries to bars, fashion stores
    and even hotels (just check the HABITA CD). As a matter of fact, I am
    really feeling an overload!
