I didn't see the article he refered to, but I haven't heard that song on any of the "popular" radio stations around here (Boston/NH). I've only heard it on WFNX (Boston). WFNX is also the only station I've heard play songs from such as Yaz, Depeche Mode, Bongos, Jaluka, and the like; and they're often likely to turn around and play some William Ackerman or old 60's music. Whoops. I rambled. Oh well. Mark E. Mallett decvax!sii!mem
