About Me

Cowboys & Indies debuted on CJAM in September of 1989. For over 18 years, Cowboys & Indies has been the home of the British Indie and Alternative scene for the Windsor/Detroit area. Hosts Marc & Scott, veterans of local record stores, decided that it was time to bring the British Indie/Alternative sound to the masses. Each week we strive to play the very best in the British Alternative and Independent music scene. Most of our featured music is comprised of imports and domestic items as well as music from our own collections and currents from the on-air studio. Each week we preview new releases and an upcoming album in The LP Session. We also take listener requests! website: http://cowboysandindies.tripod.com yahoo blog: http://360.yahoo.com/marccazabon radio station website: http://www.cjam.caI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
