many times I've tuned into a college radio broadcast and heard something pretty good. I'd say Sun Araw "crete":

After realizing Miles Davis box sets ("in a silent way", "Bitches brew") are what I'm vibing with now after being into a wide range of music: R&B, hip-hop, black-rock, hardcore punk, alt-rock, neo-soul, etc. I am pretty sure I'm now less inclined to be too blinded by one style at the expense to another, so whatever I hear on radio dial surfing excursions, I know I'm in the best position to process it at this moment.

If a music lover has the time and inclination to investigate all sorts of music, I guess something good could come of that but I'm one of those types of music lovers who makes people in radio have a purpose, because I do appreciate radio djs (college or otherwise) playing some decent stuff.

but I definitely need my comfort zone listening moments, whether they be challenging music that fits my idea of challenging music (Henry Threadgill & Zooid as opposed to free-jazz) or peaceful hymns or subdued odd classical organ music pieces, or the afro-American thing (Badu, Ohio Players, Monk, Fishbone, P-funk, etc.) or modern day pop music.
