Today, in Musical History:

November 5th, 1977: The manager of the Virgin Recortds store in Nottingham, England, was arrested for displaying a large poster advertising the Sex Pistol's' debut album,"Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols".

High Street stores banned the album after the police warned them that they could be fined under an 1898 "indecent advertising" act.

Because nothing says "We're the strong, confident government of an open, free country" like censoring music and free expression, right ?

Today, in Musical History:

November7th, 1994: The student radio station at the University of Southy Carolina at Chapel Hill (WXYC) makes the first internet radio broadcast; i wonder if they still would have done it, if they'd known that they'd be opening a door for weirdos like me ?



'Course they would have. This sounds pretty similar to WQNA. It's the attitude as much as it's the content: fearless, playful curiosity is something people should never lose if they have it, and they should get some if they don't.
