I just want to add a little additional story to my last post. So as I mentioned I listened to HiP Radio from about 3:00pm to 6:30pm at work today. The set list that played for that time was amazing!
I was so excited I had to tell my buddy about it (we were chatting on MSN). I live in Toronto, ON Canada

(finally get to use this smiley) and he lives in Portland, OR USA. He is a good friend...have known each other for 10 years.
I have been trying to educate him in the ways of H!P for the last few months. He has always taken the position that it was just some kind of perversion that I had with young girls and he had no interest in hearing the music.
Well I was so impressed with the HiP Radio show and the streaming quality that I kept raving about it. Eventually he asked me how he could listen to it too on his computer at work. I told him to install Winamp and gave him the HiP Radio URL.
Next thing you know he is getting into it. Telling me how his wife by comparison is getting him to listen to Chinese music and that H!P stuff is not bad and he wish he could understand Japanese. He even pointed out to me that he recognized
Rika's name when her name appeared in the playlist

(she was doing a solo of Morning Coffee...he's knows about
Rika because I have shown him pics).
For every artist I told him a bit about their history and their nickname.
In the end he was quite impressed. He listened for at least 2 & 1/2 hours to HiP Radio.
I think he respects my taste in music a little bit more (he basically said that) and was impressed with the variety of music in H!P.
You guys have no idea (or maybe you do for all I know) how big this is to have a close friend finally acknowledge that there might be more to H!P and your devotion than just young pretty girls...shiet...who am I kidding...all that matters is the young pretty girls...(

did I just write that?.. :ROFL )
Thanks for helping me share my apprecation of H!P music with another person out there on this lonely planet.
