Pirate Cat Radio

we all have a voice.... somewhere.

I didn't know that because of the war we are required to make it possible to communicate by any means; that's a potent reason to allow "pirate" stations, which I think ought not be interfered with anyway...

Now I guess I'll have to find a station that plays music that is actually out of the mainstream rather than merely known and lesser-known corporate music. This station still follows the model of the corporate station, with DJs spinning the music they favor and calling other music "crap" and not realizing that they reinforce the model and the restrictiveness of what is playable on the air rather than giving listeners more diverse choices...

It's funny; I listen to PirateCat and enjoy its mainstreamness, yet I hope for it to transcend rather than emulate other stations. That would be truly interesting...

Very nice piece. Monkey is an impressive young man, and Pixie is cute as can be :)

This is important. The media, and as such, big business, controls what we hear and what we see. New ideas, new music, innovators, consequently, are gatekept by this business concern. However we, the people, can regain some control of the transmission of ideas is good.

And, as currentPC says, Pixie is cuter than can be.

Pirate Cat is a fixture in San Francisco......It's the only station programmed in my car.....I think it's awesome you did a story on the station!

You guys truely ROCK I hope listeners contribute to keeping you out of the red and well fed.
