Recommendations for new cds? Here are a few I think you'd like, depending on what you are in the mood for:

Electronic/dance music:
Annie- Anniemal (see: Kylie Minogue)
Erlend Oye- DJ Kicks

Folky:
Bonnie "Prince" Billy- I See a Darkness (a MUST-own)
Joanna Newsom- The Milk-Eyed Mender
Sufjan Stevens- Greetings from Michigan

90s Brit-Pop:
Pulp- Different Class

Meanwhile, I'm still looking into internet radio recording programs, I'll probably try something out in the next week and let everyone know what's up. If anyone else tries one out or has more info, let me know.

Also, my little Neko review is up on www.radiofreechicago.org
