Radical!
Every since our personal source of music dried up I've felt real disconnected. Been listening to the same 65 CD's loaded on my computer at work in a shuffling rotation. But not catching anything new or interesting. Those of you that know, understand that the alternatives (radio etc.) in the Big Empty are pretty limited to the hits of the 50's, 80's, or 00's top 40. Today I rediscovered net radio. I used to listen to the Village Voice Radio, with everything,Bennie Goodman, Frank Zappa, Ani, Mos Def, Greg Brown, Eminem, Lou Reed, Hank Snow, Iris Dement, Bob Marley, anyway, an amazing mix of great music.....but their net radio feature is gone.
I do however still have KEXP from the University of Washington in Seattle. It's a great station and keeps a running archive of everything they played....both text and audio archives....so you can go back and hear it again if you'd like. Check it out.
If you have any recommendations for additional stations, the kind you actually listen to, let me know.

You sound like a candidate for satellite radio. Tell me, can you put an antenna in a south facing window (within 6-10 feet)?
Don't have it yet, but i am already a convert.
I'm not really a big internet radio person, but sometimes KRCW is good. I think it is out of LA. They had CD's made. But like I said, sometimes it's good, but other times it's nothing but cheesy trance music.
