 If you're looking to satisfy your local music jonz while you're paying your bills online, surfing internet porn or just want to hear something {{{{{{fresh}}}}} in the background while you operate your electric dog polisher, RADIO FREE MICHIGAN has you covered with a constant stream of home-grown music from all genres - just like terrestrial radio used to do before it got greedy, boring and stupid. In the span of just a half-hour, I heard rock, hard rock, soul, blues, pop, a solo acoustic performance and some pseudo-funky progressive stuff so cool you would NEVER hear it on terrestrial radio. And the best part is it's all LOCALLY PRODUCED in Michigan - NOT in L.A., NOT in Mexico, NOT in China, NOT in South America or any other distant locale where all the jobs have gone. This is the way to get hip to new local music. I've already found some new favorites (Crop Circle's "Flatland Queen" for one, Sweet Japonic's "Two O'Clock Sirens" for another) and I'm confident you will find some new favorites too. Tune in now while it's still interesting. - Mitch
