The local "independent" station here in SLC is pretty good, but also varies wildly. Here's the playlist for yesterday, 3-6pm, all were listener sets sent in.
Pretty damn good, but it's once a week for three hours. In the slot today, different guy was playing all kinds of Beth Orton/Alanis wannabe crap. This past Friday, the Bob Log III show (highly recommended by the way) was opened by some DJ/Video guys called The Electric Space Jihad. They started off w/"Rockin' Pneumonia", then played some Spirit & a few more obscure psychedelics, then ZZ Top's "Francine", then Ace Frehley's "I'm In Need Of Love", then some Hasil Adkins , then some Wu-Tang, then some Tom Waits (his 'groovier' stuff, such as it is). Obviously, they had some effects, loops & samples overlaid, and up on the screen they had clips from 30's musicals & vintage porn movies, with the requisite paint splatters, crawling bugs, etc. Pretty cool, esp. the more beer etc. Anyway, anyone know a place online that streams similar stuff like those two playlists? Psychedelic rockabilly; obscure 60's soul/funk, 70's rock and '80s-90's East coast rap; anything but weepy REMo, DMB, Jack Johnson, Lilith Faeries or the tired old blues standards like "Crossroads", "Hoochie Coochie Man" & "Born Under A Bad Sign".

I like woxy.com which is kinda similar to kexp.org if you like independent rock. Also I recommend listening to last.fm which is a lot better than pandora imo. Pandra repeats songs too often FWIW.

I grew up listening to WOXY when they were a regular radio station in Oxford, OH and even played on a T-Ball team that they sponsored when I was 7 yrs old or something. The morning-jocks would read our score on the radio, "WOXY T-Ball had a tough one last night. The little kids played their hearts out but lost a tough one to Baskin Robbins 42-37. Go get 'em next time kids!" Anyway, they were way better way back in the day. When the owners sold the station to corporate folk leaving the original WOXY personnel to try to make it work as an internet-only station it was a sad day for all. Kudos to them for getting the funds to keep it going and make it work which I know has been a struggle. But it just isn't the same really. Yeah, I'm old school. But anybody who was in that area during WOXY's hey-day...one of the first alternative-rock stations in the country....would agree with me. WOXY was more commonly known as 97x back then and is the station that Dustin Hoffman hears in Rain Man when they are driving out of Cincinnati and he says, "97x...Bam, the Future of Rock 'n Roll" over and over again. |

Pandora.com or slacker.com are much much better than anything else.
