Yeah mapman, that is really the best radio ever was, wouldn't you say? I'm of the years that I recall those days all too well, and would miss that airplay if not for Rp. It's enjoyable to have someone else Dj for ya too. Keeps it interesting.
Radio Paradise -- Good Stuff
(First of all, I'm NOT affiliated with them in any way)
Just wanted to give them a plug though... Every once in a while when I need a change from my own (pretty vast) music collection...I put on Radio Paradise (they are a user-supported Internet Radio Station). Granted, you take a hit in fidelity (I think the best bit rate might be 192K) but the content is great...and If nothing else, it's great for background music.
The station is very eclectic... but not just for the sake of being so... almost every time I listen, something I've never heard before catches me...and I have to look at the playlist to write it down for my cd wish list! You will hear everything from Ry Cooder to Tears for Fears (Yuck! ; )
I wanted to share this for your (and their) sake...it's radio paradise. com
Here's their thing (mission statement, I guess)...(from their website)
"...Our specialty is taking a diverse assortment of songs and making them flow together in a way that makes sense harmonically, rhythmically, and lyrically — an art that, to us, is the very essence of radio. We hope that you'll enjoy RP so much that you'll want to share it with your friends, your family, your co-workers, your neighbors ... well you get the idea. ;~) ..."
