[Square One 0]

1. How often do you listen to music? Every day - all day long

2. Do you ever listen to the radio? What is your favorite station? Yes, I listen to it in whenever I am in the car. I love 100.3 The Sound here in L.A. - the classics like KLOS - sometimes 98.7 and sometimes KROQ-FM

I recently found a new artist that I am soo excited about....but...anyway. Other than work, usually the radio, my husband or a friend will suggest something, or I'll hear it on a television show or in a film.

I think everything will continue to evolve but I am with EchosofTom and still hold out hope for free radio...and I love the idea Ref that we could go back to vinyl. That would be cool. I was listening to the Sound 100.3 a couple of days ago and they always have album sides Wednesday and they were playing Sgt. Peppers on vinyl and I thought it sounded so cool.
