Second Stage highlighting RPM Challenge AGAIN!

This from RPM HQ today:

One last quick note to say how happy we are that All Songs Considered's "Second Stage" will again be devoting some time in April to RPM music, much like they did last year -- they are great supporters of independent music and RPM, and we're thrilled to have them back!

Very cool; maybe we'll make the cut...

I've been preparing for TOMORROW by listening to a few selections from a few of my favorite influences:
THE SUGARCUBES
JETHRO TULL
THE POLICE
THE SMITHS
MCCOY TYNER
BRUCE HORNSBY

And by listening to other inspiring genres:
CELTIC
CAJUN
BLUEGRASS (progressive)

I've really taken quite a liking to some of the songs I've heard from these genres - primarily independent groups (check out ASTRONAUT AARDVARK ATTACK and choose the "Favorites" tab and you'll be able to listen (for free) to some really great tracks from:
SCYTHIAN
SNAKE OIL MEDICINE SHOW
THE BISCUIT BURNERS
LISA HALEY & THE ZYDEKATS
THE INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS (great name!)

They inspire me...
