क्या हुआ??

So with the help of internet streaming and a handy iPod touch application, I’ve continued listening to Minnesota Public Radio even after my move to Austin. I’d gotten used to the voices and the shows. So what if they’re telling me Minnesota’s weather and traffic conditions? 

Well, I’ve been having trouble with the internet stream lately, which sucks when you’re in the middle of listening to a really nice acapella duet on Prairie Home Companion. So I decided to attempt a switch today. That’s right, I’m currently listening to Austin’s public radio station. 90.5 KUT. Right now, there’s an audio documentary about Willie Nelson (I never knew he actually got kind of a start in Austin!) Prairie Home Companion starts in about  5 minutes or so!

It’s quite silly actually, I almost feel like I’m cheating on Minnesota right now! I’m so sorry MPR, you know I love you best!! However, it looks like this station has like 4 hours of world music on Sunday nights. Okay, I love you MPR, but that’s just awesome. But I guess it’s time to move on a bit and experience the audio culture of this place. Even though I’m now listening to a show which is recorded in Minnesota and is pretty much largely about Minnesotans.

Garrison is a really weird first name, by the way.

Side note: When I was little, I thought Garrison Keiller was two people. “Garris and Keeler” Yeah, not so much.
