You know, I've always thought (and expounded on this point on many occasions) that the Metabeats crowd should have entered the fray of public music broadcast, or criticism, or commerce. Who was better positioned out there to launch a cool record store, set up a thoughtful review site, or hell even backstop a great radio station? If there's something missing "out there" that you are passionate about, go and do it yourself. Perhaps that ship sailed many years ago for us, but I know it would have been worthwhile.
So Derek I'll take you up on your idea of programming a few songs for an Indy station - quite a fun notion. I'll pop the set list up on Rdio so you folks can add to it....and presto we'll have a cutting edge cool list. The point begin stuff you don't hear too much or at all in the mainstream. Perhaps we refresh every few weeks.
I'll do primarily new / contemporary, with a few older (indy! lol) mixed in. For Mike G (i.e. not on Rdio, here are the first few songs....Mike, time to get on Rdio!).
