    That is a serious honor. To me Garth is one of two or three of the coolest radio DJ's in the US (Ohsokool in NYC is the other). Spent a few years enjoying his amazing taste when I lived in LA (Big ups KCRW!) Congrats!

    hello, reading this I'm thinking: that is the worst and best that's happened this year?, and my answers are: the best thing that I love my girlfriend very much, and the worst was my study and research on Pharmacy No Prescription, was really the worst of my life, jejeje.
