Just can't keep a good liberal down, it seems. But something tells us Farias will soon be replicating his Webcast online for another entity. Anyway, the rollicking, anything-goes Webcast continues live daily from 3 to 6 p.m., emanating from the studio in Farias' garage. Yes, you heard right: It's a Christian station. More recently, Farias has taken on his unapologetic liberalism back to the AM format, and he can be heard on Christian station KXXT 1010 AM from 11:30 a.m. For this, viewers have tuned in and called in, despite Farias' absence anywhere on the radio dial. (Progressive talk has returned to 1480, but NovaM remains moribund.)

Longtime liberal talk-show host Jeff Farias, who used to park himself behind the mike at KPHX 1480 AM, the former home of the ultra-lefty NovaM Radio network, parted ways with his bosses in 2008, months before NovaM self-destructed.

It's similar to London's Black Cab Sessions (albeit not in a back of a taxi), in which everything's done in one take. Conjured up by a cabal of CenPho left-brain types (including Inside Creative Minds filmmaker Tray Goodman and Modified Arts/Stinkweeds' Kimber Lanning) the weekly online video series records acoustic performances by such local scene favorites as Courtney Marie Andrews, Yourchestra, and Sugar Thieves during rush hour.

The folks behind the Train Tracks did us one better and have been booking Phoenix indie acts to play unplugged versions of their songs on light-rail cars since February. Either way, we figured that once the Valley's light-rail system launched last December, it wouldn't be too long until we heard live music at stations. Maybe it's the captive audience or Americana's deep-rooted bonds shared by trains and tunes.

subways while strumming their acoustic gee-tars. We've seen many a street rat busking in NYC and D.C. Musicians seem drawn to using public transit systems as a backdrop for performances.
