Well, it's come to this: It's midnight and I'm listening to a heavy metal cover version of "The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round" on pirate short wave radio on Sternradio. Is life great, or what!?

Very true. 48/MRI usually has a pretty wide signal, but I don't know what it will be set to until audio begins.

Listening via the SDR in Cape May County, New Jersey, which has an S9ish signal and good audio overall ...

0003 UTC: Radio 48 ID, followed by a dubstep remix of Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls."
0006 UTC: "Ensenada" by Sublime.
0008 UTC: Radio 48 ID again into "Until the Sun Explodes" by Sublime.
0011 UTC: Female-voiced ID for Radio 48 via Mix Radio International. That was followed by "Warning Sign/Armagideon Time (Live)" by Sublime.
0014 UTC: Very produced-sounding Radio 48 ID into "Feel Like That" by Sublime & Stick Figure feat. Bradley Nowell.
0019 UTC: Male-voiced Radio 48 ID into "Daft Funk (Joey Negro's Computer Funk)" by Sadam Ant. This one prominently samples De La Soul, which made me happy.
0024 UTC: I can't tell if this is the same song or if we went straight into a remix of "Me Myself and I" by De La Soul.
0026 UTC: "(Not Just) Knee Deep" by Funkadelic.
0030 UTC: "California Love" by 2Pac.

Thanks, Radio 48, for the music on this Saturday night!
