Favorite online radio station
Posted: Aug 10th 2005, 4:09 pm
With high-bandwidth DSL finally being available in my part of Europe (6 Mbit downstream ) I'm listening more and more to internet based radio stations. Well, at least when I'm at work or at home. Internet connection in my car would be cool but I guess that'll take another few years.
So far I have two favorite online radio stations: Radio Free Colorado and Radio Paradise. Both are entirely listener financed -- they have no advertisements in their program or on their webpages. Everyone can listen for free. To keep the stations alive, they ask for donations.
Radio Free Colorado has mostly classic and modern rock on their playlists. They play a lot of good old stuff but also more recent rock songs.
Radio Paradise from California airs -- as they call it -- "eclectic rock". This station almost fits exactly my taste in music. I guess everything can somehow be considered "eclectic" -- but their selection is amazing. U2, Eels, The Shins, REM, The Cure, Moby, The Who, Beck and even Jazz classics like Dave Brubeck can be found on their playlist. It's worth mentioning that the playlist isn't randomly computer-generated, but a DJ-mixed setlist.
Other stations I sometimes listen to include: Frequence3.org, Club 977 The 80's channel and Maxi Radio Live from France.
So what's your favorite internet radio station?
