Listeners, you tickle my heart.

It has been brought to my attention that I have fans outside of the greater Rochester area.

Thank you to everybody who called in and listened tonight.

I especially enjoyed this bit of feedback:
- [JF] "i like juice!"

Radio wouldn't be radio without you.
I wouldn't be the same without you.
Radio and I are one in the same.

Love & kisses,
Lauren

Junior? Superior.

Royksopp. Love them? Never heard of Royksopp? Not really sure?

Now's a perfect time to check them out. Their latest cd "Junior" offers a mix of ambient tunes and upbeat dance tracks with a slew of guest vocalists including Robin and Karin Dreijer Andersson (of The Knife, and Fever Ray).

The cd has been in my car for weeks, and I don't anticipate it leaving any time soon.

Royksopp, you may make the soundtrack to my life whenever you want.

Thanks.
