Hey, I've got a novel idea: how about WBOS going AAA?  They're certainly not
that now, and haven't been for quite some time.  The same goes for WXRV, IMHO,
especially in recent weeks.  To recalibrate your ears as to what AAA sounds
like, try out WXPN/Philadelphia's stream (Windows Media Player 6.4 required) at
http://209.240.147.11/wxpn.asx .  Though 'XPN is operated by the University of
Pennsylvania, it's hardly anti-commercial.  Its playist shares a lot of titles
with any ideal "alternative gold" format; I just heard two very familiar
vintage Bowie and REM songs back-to-back!  Followed by The Beatles circa "Let
it Be"...

Take care,
Chris
