Save Net Radio

[filkertom]

What internet stations do you listen to? My favorites are Folk Alley, Pandora, and WCPE, although I've also spent decent amounts of time listening to Air America.

While I don't often listen to outside music much (which is probably not a good thing...), when I've listened to Internet Radio, it has been to "Radio Paradise (http://www.radioparadise.com)" for eclectic "normal" music, and stations like "Groove Salad" and "Drone Zone on SomaFM" (safe with most medications, they say) for ambient/electronic music.

Good stuff all the way around.

I don't think there's a bad station on SoMa - I'm partial to Secret Agent, myself.

My current passion has been DJ Lex's 12" Retro, part of his Club 80s family of stations.

Alan found BootLiquor ("Music for Cowhands, Cowpokes, and Cowtippers,") but ever since the fellow running it got overwhelmed (he needed a life) and gave it to SoMa, SoMa, (http://somafm.com/) it hasn't been quite as edgy.

They're still playing Two Nice Girls, however ("I Spent My Last $10 on Birth Control and Beer.")

Mostly I listen to my local NPR stations at work, since radio and cellphone reception is lousy in the new Physics Research Building. I listen to Air America, but only when nobody else is within earshot.

Pandora is a little repetitive but easy to use. AOL Radio, despite being very corporate, has a very good menu of stations, including two that play strong selections of movie soundtracks. And I listen to a variety of stations as Live365.com, including Filk Radio.

Digitally Imported. <http://www.di.fm/> Especially the House, Trance and Euro Dance channels. Hey, I gots lots of classic rock, etc. music already! This is the stuff that's much harder, if not impossible, to find on free radio, and it's *the* best tune-in/tune-out for me while I'm working really hard on something and need to super focus. Like having Thomas Dolby coupled with BPD and ADD medication.

Eurodance, mmmmm... the thing that most makes me wish I lived in Europe. Sad, isn't it? :)

Pandora is the only reason I've bought music (other than yours) in the last year. I hate the repetitive nature of the radio, and the commercials (which are always louder than everything else) irritate me. And I'm not the sort to buy something on reputation alone. But Pandora is always recommending something I've never heard before, and usually something I like. (It sometimes gets on long jags of playing country, rap or whiny protest songs at me, but marking a few as, "I don't like it" usually makes it cut that out.)

I dunno, I'm kinda partial to Radio Nosferatu, myself. ;)

Before we got cut off at work from any streaming media, I was known to listen to Pandora, Filk Radio, and WFUV (Fordham University), as well as both local newsradio options and MLB Radio's archives of Fantasy 411.

This station is probably obvious to people who read this journal. I listen to Dementia Radio (http://www.dementiaradio.org) every night, as well as chat in the station's irc channel. I also do certain stations on Live365, particularly one where a friend does a weekly show on Sunday nights (I record the show and turn it into a podcast for him).

I don't listen to internet radio. I still have dialup at home, and the firewall at work blocks any streaming media. But if I did listen, I'd listen to WOXY -- the future of rock 'n roll.

I'm a Live 365 gal -- for Filk Radio, Highlander Radio, and RenRadio mostly

Pandora, Podcasts and Whole Wheat Radio

BTW - Whole Wheat Radio will let artists upload music to add to their playlists. Last year they did a feature show on Eric Coleman . . .

With Live365 I listen to Filk Radio and Highlander Radio. Also download podcasts from our local PBS station.

[bastian1967.livejournal.com]

I listen to Filk.com (http://www.live365.com/stations/filk_com) on Live365.com. It is the only place I can hear some of the filk I was listening to back in the late 80's/early 90's.

I like (and even contribute to) WFMU (http://www.wfmu.org), a listener supported over-the-air station in the NYC area that offers several different flavors of streaming audio for those listening on the 'Net. The only caveat is that what they play is all over the map, so if the current show isn't to your taste, try again a bit later. (It's kind of like a college radio station, without the college -- because that's precisely what it is! My uncle's an alumnus of Upsala College, which went bankrupt in the mid-90's; the campus radio station was the only remnant of the college that survived.)

I listened to Pandora until they realized I was Canadian. Bah.

I should cast about some for other such things to listen to, though.

I am all about the Pandora, with healthy helpings of WrestleCrap Radio, Doctor Floyd, NPR, especially Wait Wait Don't Tell Me!", WUSF, and WMNF.

My internet doesn't have pictures (text-only at home) and it's 38kbps. Does that answer your question?
