"The most 80's hits from a station promising only music from the 60s and 70s! Here's Toto--maybe this one will fool you; I don't know."

On Thursday, Negativland (with the help of the Mosquito Fleet) hijacked a Seattle-area Clear Channel-owned radio station and proceeded to broadcast an hour-long parody lambasting Clear Channel (and the station itself.) Take the time to download highlights from the broadcast--it's protest in its most entertaining form.

Read more about Clear Channel and its insidious effects on American broadcast radio here and here. And for those interested in more about Negativland's media hijinx, read more about their battles with U2 and Pepsi, the Onion Negativland interview (and, if you can find a copy, watch Sonic Outlaws.)
