    i'm a fan of all the 2-step garage shows. the dreem
    teem are great, but i don't want to hear the r&b that
    i avoid on u.s. radio...

    i try to listen to some of the d&b shows, but i'm
    playing it at work. although i work at a music shop,
    most of my customers aren't club-heads, so it gets a
    little heavy sometimes.

    as far as jazzfm, i have a hard time with it. i want
    to like it, but there's WAY too much cheeze! i would
    pick "liquid lounge" from radiofree virgin over
    jazzfm. as far as them having this great
    listenership, don't we always bitch about people not
    knowing the real?
