Well I haven't listened to any radio in a few months, but Zane plays 
guitar music, dance, and rap (with all their various subgenres), plus 
the odd oddity (I first heard Hayseed Dixie on his show, Joanna Newsom, 
ukulele orchestra etc).

I've just bought a big shedload of albums in the past few months, both 
new and old.

I have a lot of time. Seriously I liked Peel but I don't consider it 
shameful to like other radio shows too.
