I'm a record store/label owner, and a music enthusiast.
You might also know me as @ajroach42
I want a decent Desktop podcatcher app for windows or linux.

@ajroach42 They're asymmetric to be sure. Local stations would deal with this by having a call-in number, or often you could just go down to the station. Part 15 AM is hyper-local, part 15 FM even more so. A dial-up BBS could have a page showing the schedule and currently playing music with an option to send a message to the DJ.
I went record shopping this weekend. I'll do some haul posting in a bit.
For future reference, here's the FCC guidelines on low power / part 15 unlicensed AM/FM radio:

It's my little brother's birthday celebration today (his actual birthday was several days ago)
I drove to a coffee shop in the town where we are having his celebration to do my job, so that I can make it to the party on time.
This coffee shop adjoins to a record store.
I know how I'm spending my lunch break.
It's raining, the power pulsing but has not yet gone out.
I have another hour of work in front of me. The storm is moving quickly, and will likely have blown passed by the time I am ready to go.
I am listening to All Thoughts Are Prey to Some Beasts by Bill Callahan from the album Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle.
It's good music for a fleeting rainy day.
Is anything more disappointing than listening to the ventures tepidly cover a song you know best as a raucous joint from the pyramids?
Expecting the pyramids and getting the ventures is pretty high on my list of disappointing events.
I know a lot of people don't really go in for piano jazz, but I'm listening to Erroll Garner's "gems" over coffee this morning, and I've got chills.
This man reaches out from across the eons to make a piano do unspeakable things.
Kicking off my morning with Revolver by The Beatles, a bowl of rice chex, and lingering questions of morality and good sense.
This isn't an easy read but it's an interesting one, bringing together punk, DIY, Dischord records, technology, Marx and some theorists I don't know.
I probably have to re-read it to make sense of it fully.
"If, in the US, there exists a fungible approximation of Murray Bookchin’s ideal of local, libertarian-socialist, self-governing communities, networked across a country and independently operative of the state and capitalist relations, grassroots DIY music has been a somewhat unwitting attempt and, possibly, a model."

The song "Do it with a rockstar" by Amanda Palmer is seriously powerful.
Take Five • As sung by an Indian woman with a drone in the background https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipCqEcEVFxU #linkblog
So this album (pop yeh yeh, psychedelic sounds of Singapore and Malaysia) is consistently one of my favorites to spin.
It’s So good.
I wish I had more like this.
@ajroach42 I just discovered that I can listen to trade radio through mpd. Which in turn gets played synchronized throughout the house with snapcast. Awesome!
#np The Human Beinz / nobody but me
(No no no no no no no no no no nobody!)
Only about half unpacked, but I’m already feeling better.
