I don't expect a comment daily you know, I'm just happy when someone does. In the UK we have a similar situation with novels and recordings. There is a lot more freedom nowadays, but there are still recording artists (The Macc Lads for one) that it's safe to say will never be played on the radio.
p.s. don't listen to the Macc Lads if you are of a religious or nervous background. Strictly adults only and definately NSFW!
Why don't you make a quiz with all Jetpunk users birthdays, and we have to guess with user is on which day ?
