College radio is one of the last great untamed resources in American music.
Unencumbered by strict formats and with an ear more tuned to music than to
money, these stations can play the best and the brightest and the oddest.
Follows a list of the stations that have plucked the debut Pawnshop
CD, Three Brass Balls, out of the river of new releases and spun it
live, gracing the airwaves with Sean Smith's brand of pop/rock pleasure.
The stations marked in yellow charted the record in their weekly top-30
lists on the (approximate) weeks listed! We've provided the best contact
info we've got so you can reach these stations and let them know your
tastes. Please note that many of these stations will be off the air in
summertime, though. Give 'em a shot.
Can you help? Yes you can! Be a grass root with us (or is it "be a brass ball?") and email or call your nearest or favorite station from this list. Tell them you want more Pawnshop to tickle the airwaves! And if you're suffering from radio ennui -- who isn't these days? -- note that lots of the links below will connect you to streaming RealAudio broadcasts from these stations, which do the good work of bringing fine and new music to a world of modern ears numb from the repetitive thumping of commercial broadcasting. Remember: radio folks like it when you call. It lets 'em know that you're out there. We know: our own Mr. Cyrano did a late-night radio show for a few years on WHRB 95.3 FM in Cambridge, back in the days. So check these links, listen in a bit, and click your way to satisfaction. Oooo. Was that good for you too?
