We all know commercial radio sucks. It’s devolved into a noxious amalgamation of McSongs, McDJs, and McAdvertising. I’m not in my car enough to invest in satellite radio, but I’ve been listening to more Internet radio lately, at least when I get tired of my own collection. Right now, I’m streaming Radio Paradise, which is the shiznit. Peggy Lee just finished “Fever.” No annoying ads, the DJ is not a screaming chimp, and no goddamn Brittney Spears. I may even send these guys some money. Broadcast radio is a lost cause, but Web radio is astounding in its diversity.
And on a related note, the bastards who put Wang Chung’s “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” on their list of the 50 Worst Songs. Worse than Celine Dion? Surely they jest.

check out the Magnatune guys. Creative Commons licensing and such. Great internet radio.
You need to try WOXY (www.woxy.com). Great alternative (I hate to use that word) new music along the lines of Radio K (which is awesome) but from a commercial station.
