My winter job
I’ve managed to get a temporary job at the National institute of biology. I’m going through a bucket load of samples (a few 1000 vials), identifying animals, grouping them into size clusters and finally, count them. The work is done routinely, a perfect job for a graduate student like me. Behold my work place, my sanctuary where I spend my time lurking down the EtOH-ed insects (mostly), fighting off the janitors in the late evening hours. The only thing I could wish for is a good radio station. Radio Ekspres has gotten really boring, really fast.
Thats why there is internet radio! I frequently listen to BootLiquor on iTunes (under country, but they are not your traditional, mainstream american country).

Try www.icebergradio.com, out of Canada. Lots of channels there, many kinds of music, helpful playlist. I particularly like the Afro-Cuban and Celtic channels, along with some of the jazz channels. And there’s so much else when you want a change. They’re a little limited in terms of American folk music, but hey–it’s Canadian.
