Default Indie Stations

Here in Houston, TX, we don't have much in the way of independent radio. The few good college stations we had phased out, and we're left with one or two English language public radio stations. This last Summer has been KPFT's fundraising event and on just about every programming block they'd desperately plead for money because nobody was pledging, but after the event just continued business as usual. I'll pledged what I could, which wasn't much.

I have an iPod adapter in my car and when I really want to listen to good music I'll just plug that in, but there's something special about public radio. The quirky personality of the hosts, the variety of unheard artists (discovered quite a few this way), the general lack of commercialism...

They're kind of like the hand reaching up from the grave of radio as a respectable medium.
