House music fans.... Clear out some space on your hard drive and download this MP3. Be warned, it's 161MB, but very high quality sound.

It is from a radio show in Zurich, Switzerland called ScoutLounge, hosted by DJ Lexx. On 26 June, he found out in the middle of his show that MJ was rushed to the hospital and was dead (or in a coma, remember the uncertainty). It's marked on the waveform at around the 1 hr 38min mark).
The first 90 minutes is simply great house music, About midway he anounces the news and drops a Billie Jean remix and plays house again. For the last 15 minutes of the show he plays out to MJ. It's 3 hours well spent in honor of MJ and apparently when out to a pretty big audience. In any case, it beats listening to commercial radio here where I live.
I remember I was glued to the TV that night like a fly on flypaper. I would have much rather been listening to this radio show instead...
Anway, I downloaded it and am archiving the latter half of the show to a Maxell XLII right now. Will give it a more critical listen on a boombox!.
Rest In Peace, M.J.
