0119 tuning into electronica. Good signal.
0134 still hearing dance music, unfortunately lots of QRM tonight. Didn't even hear the station ID at 0127 at all.
0139 all right, here we go. "Looking For Your Door," Chrome
0143 more electronica, Shazam couldn't ID this song
0147 XLR8 ID
0148 More rock, reminds me of someone familiar but can't say who
0150 "Ask Me a Question About the Atom" Ancient Greeks
    sun has just set, concurrent improvement in reception
0154 something reminiscent of Gastr del Sol but that's not what this is, I'm pretty sure
0158 XLR8 ID
0209 "Four Sticks" Zep
0215 "Furniture Music" Bill Nelson's Red Noise
0219 XLR8 ID
0238 band with OM singer covering Romeo Void's "Never Say Never"
         Signal has been really good at times, barely there at others. There was lots of interference (I'm a noob, but I'm guessing it was lightning crashes others describe) but that seems to have subsided.
0305 "I Got a Right" Iggy! Signal quite faded now unfortunately.
0311 faded away and/or off

Thanks for the show! Interesting and different tonight

Mostly the deep notes are making it through the noise of the crashing lightning bolts.
