Due to the encroachment of bow-hunting season (in a county park yet!), the MB Geocache will be temporarily suspended. A deer stand was erected not twenty feet away from the cache. We don't want anybody getting an arrow in the head while looking for local music. So we'll find another spot for it, do some other promotion, or resume in the spring. The cache attracted about two-dozen visitors over the summer, about a fourth taking some local music with them. Thanks for playing - Mitch

The ad to the left appeared in the October issue of Blender magazine on page 52. It depicts a huge Viagra™ pill as a pictograph representing the various percentages of artists who are likely to get your parents hot (The Righteous Brothers beating out The Foo Fighters, Audioslave and The Killers by a landslide). The text at the bottom of the ad reads: 'Tons of Artists. Zillions of Songs. And oh yeah, it's free. Radio. Brought to you by America's 13,000 local radio stations that play artists like these every day.' This ad begs the question: In an era of "pod-safe" independent music, has commercial radio finally gone limp?
