I’m swooning this morning over The Current, a public radio station in Minneapolis that also streams online. I discovered them a couple of days ago when Robyn Hitchcock was an in-studio guest1 and cued ‘em up again this a.m. when he appeared on a taped segment2 spinning some of his all-time fave tracks.
Since then they’ve won my barnacled heart with a playlist that sandwiched Kool & the Gang between the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Empire of the Sun and—as I type this—they just served a Joe Jackson apertif to complement a meaty new(ish) Franz Ferdinand track.
Check ‘em out, yo.
1 And, of course, I tumbled about it, because that’s how I roll. Stalkery fan style.
2 A hat tip to Leif The Insanely Hot for e’ing me about it and for not recoiling in horror when I confessed that I was already listening.
