Radio Radio

There was an interesting article about one of my favourite radio stations in the Guardian over the weekend.Resonance Fm is constantly pushing the boundaries to what a radio channel shouls be and is the best slice of radio in he U.K< Here is the artcle - http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,1820598,00.html

With Ed Baxter at the helm and with such favourite geezers such as Edwin Pouncey spinning all manner of out rock and noise,and guys from THE WIRE having their own slot makes RESONANCE FM the defacto numero uno station for the strange and leftfield. MAY IT REIGN FORVER.

Talking of Mr.Pouncey. His own magazine,The Sound Projector, which seems to be about yearly or twice yearly now, is an excellent read.Eqwually as important as THE WIRE.
