This one is fun -- all 1960s psychadelic music "The technicolor web of sound." http://www.techwebsound.com/
I went up to school near buffalo and rochester and always heard a ton of tragically hip and tea party on the radio, looking at this playlist it looks like they still love them out there.
My favorite (show-specific) is Club Electrique on WMSE in Milwaukee, WI. 12 A.M. - 3:00 A.M. (Friday morning... or for some, late Thursday night) www.clubelectrique.com All electro and synthpop.
just tuned into my alma mater's radio station www.uab.edu/blazeradio/ lot's of rap, but they do other stuff to. they were just playing Onyx's "Slam" you got to love that.
WOXY, 97x of Oxford, Ohio. http://www.woxy.com An amazing station for those of you who are into more "alternative" rock. I can't even explain how good this station is, but go and check their playlists. kevin + http://tullamarine.org
i like the bbc radio player for the 'urban' and dance shows. i duno anything about their rock / pop shows, though.
In light of the FCC's recent ruling on media consolidation, I thought I would resurrect this thread to encourage everyone to support independent radio stations. KEXP out of Seattle is probably the most outstanding station listed in this thread. They are a non-profit, public radio station that relies on listener pledges to stay afloat. They are currently having a pledge drive. I urge everyone who hates commercial radio to give the station a listen -- http://www.kexp.org -- and consider making a pledge if you like what you hear.
Moved from the old movies board.... I've been listening to WOXY a lot lately...Kevin's right, these guys are fantastic for a commercial station. Another plus is that the very knowledgable jocks actually pick up the request line phone and play requests quickly. If you're an AOL user, their stream is available thru AOL radio, in the Alt Rock section, and sounds great even at dialup speeds.
Got me through school at Miami of Ohio, and turned me on to a lot of what are now my favorite bands. Actually, got me quite a few free tickets and CDs too. I still listen a lot. They're consistently picked as the best small-market station in the country by Rolling Stone. Also, check out http://wwwnew.towson.edu/wtmd/ WTMD out of Towson, MD. It's a bit more mellow than 97X, but they play a lot of great stuff.
Oh, and WTMD is listener-supported, so no commercials. You have to deal with an occasional pledge drive or two, but overall, it's a good deal.
