Radio Done Right.
I once mentioned Roc Party Internet radio in a previous post, ages and ages ago, when it was just getting off the ground. Well, Roc Party's evolved into GBS-FM, a somethingawful.com-associated, user-run station. And it is awesome.
Sign up, upload an unlimited number of songs, and add them to the playlist. (You only get to have one song on the playlist at a time, so no one person can flood the station with four hours of Japanese pop or Inuit throat-singing.) Listen to a ridiculous variety of music that you would otherwise never hear: try some Guns N' Roses, which follows the Hebrew version of the Pokemon theme song, which follows Ween, which follows some band you've never heard of, which follows Roy Orbison, which follows Los Lobos covering La Bamba.
Better yet, GBS-FM allows sign-ups to host weekend hour-long blocks. Wanna be a DJ? Get a microphone.
Tell me this isn't beautiful.
Tune in. Enjoy.
