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.
