Tell Me a Good Online Radio Station For Work Listening

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.

Download iTunes on your computer, and you can listen to hundreds of different channels. A lot of them don't even have commercials.

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