Heard here in TN about an S4 via whip antenna. However, since the carrier is 500 hz off center, the pitch is shifted wrong and therefore songs are now un-shazamable. Will try to id songs as best I can.
23:31- OM talking Live commentary, "3 beers to start feeling the buzz"
23:36- HFU mention
23:40- It Just Comes and Goes by Old Man Canyon
