Okay, I finally did it! I finally got a music page. The main page was just getting too cluttered, don't you think?! :-) Anyway, here it is, all the links and information about the music and radio I love! I hope you find some cool links or at least enjoy the pictures that are scattered on this page. :-) Like the above; it is from Tori's RAINN benefit concert on Lifetime's The Place. The picture was taken while she and Maynard from Tool sand "Muhammed My Friend." This was one of the best performances that Lifetime showed from the concert!

My favorite type of music is alternative. (Well, they call it alternative, but is it really?) Of course, my favorite is Tori Amos, one of the few alternative musicians who CAN truly be called alternative. How many "rock" musicians do you know of that sing with such intense emotion and incredible talent and actually use little more than a piano, organ, or, as of late, harpsicord?! Not many! That is very different, and really wonderful! There are other alternative groups or artists that I am into, as well. Some of these include Sarah McLachlan, Ani DiFranco, Fiona Apple (whose picture is to the left of this), Violent Femmes, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Tool, Alanis Morissette, Soul Coughing, Rusted Root, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, KoRn, Rage Against the Machine, Bush, Beck, Pearl Jam, Depeche Mode, Live, and the list goes on. Most of those links were found with the Ultimate Band List, a great search-engine-type thing that finds you anything musical you want to find, from artists to concerts and clubs, radio stations to record labels, ezines and magazines to newsgroups to fan clubs to tour dates.... You name it! So go there! (Oh, and click on Kurt's picture to see a picture of Nirvana.) One more thing. I am always looking to make my page great, of course, so if you see a link up there that you think isn't the best there is, email me and let me know! If you know of a web site for these artists or groups that is way beyond the one I have listen in quality, I want to know! What I am most interested in is pictures, info, tidbits, and fun ways to get to know the artist!!!! Anything cool!!!

I also like classic rock (another questionable name for a genre of music), or the kind of rock you might have listened to in the '60s and into the '70s. I am fairly obsessed with these two decades! Some of my clothes are even seventiesesque (oh, and I love inventing new words, too)! Some of my favorite classic rockers are the Beatles, the Doors, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, John Lennon, Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, and, well, you get the idea. (Click on the picture of the Beatles to see a real-life color photo of them! :-))

Oh, and, by the way, I LOVE TORI AMOS!! :-)

As far as radio stations go, my very very favorite radio station is Salt Lake City's X96, 96.3FM. They play alternative music, and they really aren't even all mainstream like some "alternative" stations are! When they aren't playing something I like, I listen to 107.5 FM, The End, another alternative station. Also, there is KBER 101.1FM, which is turning more alternative, though it is traditionally hard rock. Now, although I love FM and the music there is something I couldn't live without, FM ("Feeble Minds") is lacking intellectually when compared to AM ("Active Minds"). (Thanks to my 10th grade honors history/11th grade American West/soon-to-be 12th grade AP Political Science teacher Mr. Scott Crump for those definitions of AM and FM. :-)) That is why, as soon as I heard SuperTalk 1320AM, KCNR, I was hooked. They are a talk radio station. However, sometime last summer, I turned on 1320, and KCNR was gone. I freaked out, until I realized they had just moved. They were now HotTalk 860AM. (Or there's the "Unofficial KCNR Homepage" which is now more like the official page.) But not long after that, HotTalk was gone. Disney came in and offered them all this money, so now 860AM is Radio Disney, and I am without my beloved. They are working things out; they are getting on with Real Audio and will become "Xtreme Talk," but I don't have a sound card. :-( What am I getting at? If any of you is a philanthropic millionaire, how 'bout donating a couple million to KCNR to get them back online?! (Hey, didn't you learn ANYTHING from Andrew Carnegie?) :-)

And speaking of KCNR... (LINKS):

Ground Zero, starring Clyde Lewis. This show used to be on KCNR, but now, with the sad event told above, Clyde has moved the show to KBER, 101 FM Salt Lake City. Ground Zero is sort of like the Art Bell Coast-to-Coast and Dreamland shows (Art Bell also used to be on KCNR), but localized to Salt Lake. These shows are about things like UFOs, aliens, remote viewing, all that fun stuff that is eerie to listen to in bed at night! :-) Ground Zero is having amazing success lately!! _Entertainment Tonight_ called Sabrina, asking to do a story on GZ! _Radio and Records_, the industry bible, did a story on Ground Zero. I am placing my bets that syndication is in the near future!!!!!
Sabrina, the most beautiful woman ever to send me an email with the subject "Reasons Why You Are The Man." She was a producer at KCNR, and she now produces for Ground Zero. She also works on X-Treme Talk with the rest of the KCNR gang. I was able to meet Sabrina at the Ground Zero party at Night Flight, and she is not only beautiful, but very nice, very fun, and very cool!! (Thanks for the fun, Sabrina!! :-))
Clyde Lewis, host of Ground Zero and a part of X-Treme Talk! I met him at the Ground Zero party, too, and he is a really nice guy!!
