So we know that we're not on the cutting edge of ... Well... Of anything. And we can be extremely slow when it comes to the "next cool thing", but we have just discovered one of the coolest things to happen to San Francisco in a looooooong time. We're talking about Pirate Cat Radio! That's right, it's a real pirate radio station in SF! It's an unlicensed, low powered community radio station, broadcasting at 87.9 FM.

We haven't listened to the radio in years, but with Pirate Cat Radio, we've listened to more radio in the last two weeks than the past 10 years combined.

Pirate Cat Radio plays a strange eclectic mix of punk, new wave and things I couldn't even begin to label. There are no commercials, (or at least we've never heard any). Only 1 cool song after another! They play anything from Radiohead to The Clash to The Raincoats to whatever.

Listening to this station reminds us that there was a time when bands didn't exist thinking only of the bottom line ... SALES!

The cool thing is that you don't have to live in SF to enjoy Pirate Cat Radio. You can listen anytime you're near your computer using iTunes. http://www.piratecatradio.com/listen.pls

That's our plug!
