^I saw that for the first time last night and would have to agree. Just about everything that has spawned from The Ricky Gervais Show has been genius.
I was just thinking on the way home last night that I wish FM radio was as good as it used to be. When I am without my iPod, NPR is really the only thing I can stand in Alabama. The old "rock" station is back on the air here... they play some good 90s stuff and a few obscurities here and there, but one also has to suffer through things such as Five Finger Death Punch, Nickleback, Godsmack and things of the like in order to hear decent music occasionally. It's commercial-free, but really, shitty modern "rock" is just about the equivalent to commercials to my hears. I guess I'll just be happy there's a little something circulating that's sometimes tolerable.
I always wonder about FM radio in other states. Does it all completely blow these days?

We have Lightning 100 that is pretty good up here, what I really would like is an oldies station.
Me and you both! I literally cried the day 96.3 changed their format... I was more upset by that change than the WKDF change.
97.1 is getting better, at least they play different songs than the other two "Classic Rock" stations. I seriously miss 96.3 as well though, if I win the powerball I am buying WRVU and setting up my own station.
I haven't listened to the radio since Christmas. Boz bought me a new car stereo with a USB port for my iPod which also is great for my iPhone - meaning I can listen to Pandora, Slacker, Last.fm and anything else I can find in my car because I got grandfathered in with unlimited data at $30 a month with my phone - so it's like I have sirius or xm but better!

It blows that bad here in the Southern Indiana, Western Kentucky area. I have Sirius and have not listed to FM in a very long time. I don't miss it at all.

Now I don't feel so FM deprived Meg, what kind of stereo is it? I've been thinking about upgrading to something like that now that I've joined the world of smartphones but don't have the slightest clue where to start.
In other news, what did they expect, I mean really?:

Wooohooo. I start work tomorrow selling cars. Should be a good deal while I slowly finish up my bachelors. Hopefully I will still be able to get time off for bonnaroo.
We had thundersnow here the week after New Year's! When we had the NINE INCHES of snow that kept us buried for over a week. Honestly...we've had rain for like 4 days since then and there is STILL snow in places here. We've had a total of over 14 inches of snow SO FAR in Madison, ALABAMA this winter...that HAS to be some kind of record. At least so far this year. And they are still expecting us to get MORE before the season is over...seems every week brings ANOTHER chance of snow. It was spitting snow this morning but thankfully it didn't bring the 2-4 inches they were predicting on Friday of last week!
Snow is pretty...from a distance and maybe 2 inches once a year. But this is REDIC! I live in the South for a reason...and SNOW is NOT that reason!

Yah, we have had 11.5" here in Florence so far.. it pretty much shut the city down for a couple days.. like nothing was open.

It's a Pioneer with USB and AUX plug in and a remote and detachable faceplate and I LOVE it! and it goes BOOM!
