Technical Difficulties
Lately, we've been having some technical difficulties with your favorite radio station, The Hoss.  Turns out 1 out of every 2 songs we upload is somehow silent.  We find this to be really weird and annoying.  Anyways, if you hear a silent track, drop us a line.

Garth Debuts at #1
Good gravy... just when you thought he was done, here he comes back from beyond and debuts at #1.  Does this harken back to an era of mediocre predictability on country radio?   Er, wait...
