Internet Radio Favorites

[bruce johnson]

Alright I am not the most internet savvy guy. This higher speed connection deal has enlarged my horizons though and a pal introduced me to internet radio a few days ago. Who'd a thought of that?? I am not exactly a mainstream listener of broadcast radio. One suggestion he made was www.ranchandreata.com. Streaming radio of mostly the western persuasion. Pretty listenable for me. Other than the Yahoo ads, Wylie doesn't get much regular airplay on the top 40 stations. He's here. Another site worth checking out is www.clearoutwest.com. A couple of horsehoeing brothers from Pinedale WY have an hour long weekly radio show. They have the current one streaming on their website, and the past year's episodes are archived. I downloaded some and saved them to CD. A little humor, history lesson, music, and poetry in an hour. These boys are funny. I am getting looks at the stoplights laughing in the cab by myself. Any other suggestions are welcome.

You can go to shoutcast.com and choose your music by genre too. I am fond of Audiocandy's Big Blue Radio out of Spokane, Washington. (blues, folk & rock) If you're going to listen to Internet radio, do yourself a favor and download WinAmp (it's free) so you can set radio "presets" and have all the other conveniences. Many FM stations now "stream" their broadcasts, too, so if you like a particular station, check their website. The NPR site has archives of past shows and streams, too.

Ah the marvel of ergatrons. I Love the idea of being able to sit in Australia and listen to radio in another country. I have a couple of favourites on the computer back home. Lets see if I can remember them. I sometimes just use launchcast and pick from the various genres.

best that I've found is pandora.com. you can choose by genre, or better yet type in your favorite artist or song and it'll play bands similar to that. if ya don't like a song, simply give it the thumbs down and never hear it again. give it a thumbs up and it'll get a little heavier rotation. you can also set up multiple "stations" and pick which ones to play, just one of 'em, or all of 'em. you can also find out more about the song, band and album. I've got about 100 gigs of tunes on each 'puter and I don't even listen to 'em anymore, just pandora for the last few years.

I use this one all the time in my shop, goes by genre also, anything you are in the mood to listen to you can probably find on there.....

Bruce, you might try www.cowboyculturalsociety.com and www.cowboypoetry.com/radio if you like western music and poetry. I listen to both fairly regularly.

barra,

I was just thinking the very same thing!!!

There is just something about listening to radio from another land.

Even though it's in perfect english (ok... almost perfect LOL) it still sounds exotic!!!

Here is my all time favourite... http://fm985.com.au/LISTEN_LIVE.html

Shepparton hey. If you ever stay in Shepparton do not stay in the Pub across the road from the only doof doof night club. If you must stay there, ensure your room is not directly above the only taxi rank in town. It gets very interesting at 3am where the Queens English is not liberally used.

Me, I got to have my XM radio. Although it's not free I listen to it online at work, in the car and at home. Can't stand commercials! Bob Beard turned me on to it.

Hi Johanna, Does listening to radio on the 'net use much download?

Kind regards, Tony.
