"Bumper" is a radio term for those little snippets that play before the host starts talking. The list is current as of early August 1996. It changes with my moods. You can find a lot of this music at Roadrunner Records, 43rd & Nicollet, a place where -- before I ever had a radio show -- I actually found a CD that had been stolen from my car (there was telltale water damage on the cover) and they let me have it back for free! This is their karma coming back! (Each entry lists band name, then title.)
