My corporate firewall / proxy server defeated me at work today. I was unable to stream the Windows Media stream for 89.3, KCMP The Current. So tomorrow, I shall go old school, and bring an old radio / small boombox. Take that corporate IT managers!

The Current publishes their playlist for the last 6 hours, here’s a sample (in reverse order) of what I heard on the way home from work today:

The Jayhawks – I’d Run Away

Shivaree – I Close My Eyes

Iron & Wine – Teeth In The Grass

Pinetop Perkins – Meanest Woman

The Black Keys – Girl Is On My Mind

A.C. Newman – Miracle Drug

R.E.M. – Driver 8

T Rex – Mambo Sun

Fountains of Wayne – Radiation Vibe

They had a Beach Boys song in there too, that there website doesn’t list for whatever reason.

Looking through today’s playlist is absolutely amazing – Ani DiFranco (32 Flavors!), Dylan, Soul Coughing, a bunch of REM, Luna, deep cuts from Liz Phair, Luna, Muddy Waters and Sonic Youth. I could go on. This is everything I expected and more. I can’t communicate how happy and excited I am.

This is music. This is radio. This is freedom.
