| What`s your fave Audiophile Chill Out recording? Check out music by "Stars of the Lid". | |
| Keeping up on new releases, reissues, etc. I used to listen to WXPN out of Phila all the time. Enjoyed that station a lot. It was a great way to hear good music and get ideas for stuff to buy. Since moving to Central PA, I'm clueless about the current "happenin' scene" (but maybe better of... | |
