It's Little Steven's Underground Garage. It recently went on the air in St. Louis. It's played across the country at various times and places. But, you can hear archived shows on the Internet.
And let me tell you. Wow. This is what radio is meant to be. I mean, really. This is what I've been trying to accomplish with every single tape and CD I've ever made for anyone. This is real radio. Songs from all over, all different eras and styles put together in a show. And damn, it's good. Where else could you hear the Ramones, Hollies, Courtney Love and Jet in one place, let alone in one hour of radio on one station. Where will you hear the Chesterfield Kings, the Ventures, Howlin' Wolf and Stiv Bators at all?

Listen at work. Listen at home. Listen in the car. Listen while you're in labor. It doesn't matter, just listen. It's that damn good. In fact, if you've ever been irritated by radio, and tired of not hearing the best music possible, here is an outlet. You ever wonder what the coolest song in the world is? You'll find it here. Past, present and future. In the process you'll hear good stories, learn a little bit about rock and roll and, for maybe the first time in a while, you'll find yourself jumping out of your chair.
In the few days I've been listening, Little Steven has managed to blow my music budget for six months.
And that, my friends, is a good thing.
