homemade noize

My adblocker is not working so great lately. I read youtube comments by mistake. I got rickrolled(people still do that?) I get emails at work that have been forward 9 times before they get to me. All that forwarding so that a demotivational poster that I have seen 10,000 times already can add to the clutter of my inbox. I start thinking this Internet business is just a load of crap. The BS outweighs the benefit. We all probably feel like that from time to time.

Luckily, I found Resonance FM the other day and I like this Internet thing again. The cultural backwater I live in would never having anything like it. But I found it in cyberspace. Yea, Internet. To be fair I can’t imagine there are too many other radio stations like it anywhere. You could maybe find similar things elsewhere on the Internet but most likely not in one place.

The fact that it is actually going out of the airwaves makes it much cooler. There are other weird & wonderful web radio stations streaming strange bits to us across cyberspace but to have the weird & wonderful affirmed by bricks and mortar is makes me warm inside. It does a little to renew my faith in a world that seems all too homogenized and bland as a individually wrapped slice of American cheese all to often.

I found this craziness because on simonsound via musicthing mentioning The Tone Generation show. It is cool show and I am looking forward to listening to the next installment. But I liked other things even better. Listen live is great because you never know what it is going to be music, sound art or talk. I like some of the podcasts also. 8bit Adventures of a Bored Office Worker which seems to be a short lived podcast from last year but it might be the most necessary radio show ever(or course I have had the Zelda song stuck in my head of the last coupe decades.) Every station needs an 8-bit show.
