19 December 2008

Mariah & TransGlobal currently off-air, but will continue to blog about world/international and genre-blending music!

Hope to be back in Juneau and playing music for you again soon. In the meantime, I'm tuning in as a listener to all the K3 stations (via the Web) from my current "other home" in the Lower 48.

Check back for blog updates about the latest in cutting-edge international music -- and links to more info and free downloads.

Thanks, K3, for the terrific programming!
