Thanks to everyone who contributed during our June member drive! It was great hearing from all 10,000+ of you. Thanks for helping us bring you all this fantastic music and programming -- we truly couldn't be here without you.

I just wanted to mention my latest music dream. Last night, I dreamed that I was listening to the Smiths' Singles compilation. Upon awakening, I was disappointed, because I had woken up before "Panic". Is there no end to my music geekness?
