Hey Webby

I used to get lots of stuff from Usenet, back in the day. Now I just play music that I own on my stereo, or listen to this amazing invention called Radio.

A perceptive post, but where I live, radio mostly reeks. Notice that I'm showing restraint here, and not being nasty about radio even if most of the stations are owned by corporations that play cookie cutter crap. I don't trust much of anything online anymore, certainly not torrents. I listen to a lot of NPR online, Pandora, and Amazon Prime free music. Sorry if I sound like a shill for Amazon, but doggone I like their services! Why in the heck isn't Bezos sending me a gift basket?

Radio here sucks ballz too, wish I could get some of the hill country stations for the stuff I listen to. But good ol' Pandora keeps me happy enough. wife loves her satellite but they also fail me on the stuff I listen to. I live in Texas, I want to listen to Texas/Red Dirt country. Is that too damn much to ask?

Twin Cities are corporate owned.

That means a 12-20 song rotation. that does not make an enjoyable work day.

Pandora helps but they don't randomize enough. I don't get repeats in the same day but I do day to day and the songs are almost in the same order. I have 15 radio stations on shuffle too. then again, maybe that is the problem.

These days the list is pretty short. I listen to Texas Rebel Radio out of Fredericksburg quite a bit, even if I think they've gotten a lot more conservative over the last 10 years or so. I was never a huge fan of Jody Denberg, until he quit his job as music director at KLBJ and they just became yet another generic station. Still, give Rebel Radio a shot. I think you will like it.
