Do you feel a need to know what music is charting? Do you listen to american radio online at all? Are blogs enough for you, or do you feel like you miss hearing mainstream stuff sometimes?

I moved to Israel 2 1/2 years ago, and its interesting to not ever listen to the radio, rarely feeling like a song is "overplayed" (unless its a club song, which who gives a shit most of the time), and relying soley on the niche music access that I am accustomed to (download links, blog rolls, and forum posts).

Sometimes I'll hook up the iphone to tune-in radio in the car and play hot 97 or some station from South Carolina (home state) and try to relive whats it like, but then i'm like, the fuck with all these commercials fuck, no thanks.

Sidebar, watching streams of American channels for sports games is a trip, every commercial is completely new!
