God Bless Web Radio!

Okay, I may be sans-TV, and I'll admit that I enjoy German radio for lots of reasons, not the least of which is hearing tunes that you would simply never, ever hear in the states. Case in point? In heavy rotation on my radio station of choice here is the Tom Jones classic "Sex Bomb". If you have not heard this doozy, as I had not, prior to living here, I promise you, you can be in the worst mood ever and this song is capable of fixing it for you. Fixing what, you ask? Anything. Really, it's just that hysterical. Trust me, it's Monday morning, you've overslept and now you're smack in the middle of the worst hair day you've ever had...life as you know it, it's in the toilet. Well, folks, I've found the answer! Throw on a little "Sex Bomb" from Mr. Jones' and his totally over-the-top crooning sprinkled with some fairly ri-diculous lyrics and things are bound to be looking just a little bit better! That being said, however, there are days in Germany when you get homesick for all of the songs that you're used to listening to in America. So, hearing of my particular homesickness predicament, M. hooked me up this past weekend by finding the weblink to a radio station in Atlanta that we've listened to while visiting his family. And these days, I am in love with this radio station, in no small part, because they are supporting my current fascination with the song "Speed of Sound" by Coldplay. This song is being played absolutely constantly in Amsterdam (hey, thanks Amsterdam for creating my latest sonic addiction!) So, if you're like me, and being subjected to endless renditions of the Spice Girls or Tom Jones (or polka of ANY sort, as I sometimes am!) on your local radio station and feel yourself needing a break, here's my radio hookup from M.'s neck of the woods: http://www.99x.com/ . Aaaaah...it's so nice to hear even the commercials from home: it makes us feel like we're almost there!
