The Best Radio Station I Can't Listen To

Where do you think you'll be most likely to find a local fairly cool radio station? Did I hear someone say college town? Good guess, but a wrong one. You go to an area where there's a lot of ski lifts and you're almost certain to be in luck. For example, southern Vermont's got WEQX, Vail's got KYSL, the Catskills have WDST. Probably the best of the bunch is an upstart in Bend, Oregon, of all places KRXF

The only problem, and from my perch on the end of the Great Lakes is a big one, there's no webstream! This is a taste of what I'm missing, one typical hour's worth:

Looking For A Kiss -- New York Dolls
I Walk the Line -- Johnny Cash
Steady As She Goes -- The Raconteurs
No Sleep Till Brooklyn -- The Beastie Boys
Hit -- The Sugarcubes
Bittersweet Symphony -- The Verve
Another Generation -- Fishbone
Jigsaw Falling Into Place -- Radiohead
Renegades of Funk -- Rage Against the Machine
Party Down -- Reel Big Fish
So Much to Say -- Dave Matthews Band
Long Road to Ruin -- Foo Fighters
The New Pollution -- Beck
I Turn My Camera On -- Spoon
Prophet -- Sublime

Only downside -- the program director seems to have a fondness for Black Sabbath/Ozzie Osborne. But how can you stay mad at a station that has John Coltrane in its list of artists?
