Internet Radio

[Faramir]

how many of you find your local radio seriously lacking? I for one, have turned to the Internet for MY radio listening. The only drawback about it is...you can't take it with you in your car (yes I know about XM and Sirius, but can't afford that at this time...but when I can it will definitely be XM).

Here are links to just some of my fav's...if you have a fave...post a link in a reply!

Beautiful Creatures

It's what you DON'T hear on commercial radio that turned me to Internet radio! I have discovered so much about the European Rock and Metal scene through the Internet, especially the Scandinavian bands...(I like to call it Viking Rock...lol..!!)

My latest discovery is a band called Beautiful Creatures . I was turned on to them a month or so ago, and just found a Japanese import of their self-titled debut CD (2001) yesterday at the 2nd hand shoppe. Let me tell ya fellow rocker's...you have got to get this CD!! If not THE best, it is right up there among the top of the list, of the greatest CD's I have ever heard...and I'm pretty selective.

I could not stop listening to it...even at the pub last night, I brought my Walkman in with me listening to it (good thing I've been a regular customer there for 4 years or so!). Peep's thought I had gone daft, until I gave them a listen to the earphones...and most of the crowd there are a VERY hard sell musically. Almost to the person, they asked who it was, and commented on how great it was.

I don't know where they are from yet, but I don't think they are from America. A second CD is due out soon.

For those who want to know more, their website addy is: www.beautifulcreatures.net , and you will need the Shockwave player to view the site.

I saw their CD for around $10.00 at www.bn.com (Barnes & Noble).

ROCK ON...!!
