No need to clutter it up with discussions. Just post links to your favorite Internet radio stations/shows.
The guys from Firesign Theater (remember them?) have brought back an all new "Radio Free Oz", the LA radio show that launched Firesign Theater way back in 1966. Your host is Peter Bergmen. The broadcast is live on Sunday nights at 8:00 pm West Coast (you folks in other parts of the planet can figure out your own time).

They're a good oldies station that's like the radio stations they had when you were a kid. We can get them on the radio when we go to Nags Head, NC...

Does anybody here use Audacity? It's a great multi-track recorder. It can be used for long distance jamming too! I have some recordings of my friend in New Orleans, my son in Mobile, and me and Rhododendron jamming. It's not like being in the same room, but you would be surprised at what you can do. Now after all that...the reason I am mentioning it here is...you can also record anything you can hear on your computer...GREAT for all these cool links!

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Edited to say: It is free!

Thanks everybody for all the great information!!! Does anyone use Pandora? If you haven't you should give it a try. It's free as well, and I think you get to it @ Pandora Radio. com.......essentially you create your own station by plugging in an artist('s) name(s) and it starts spitting out songs, which you can then direct by liking/disliking. It will bring up other related artists/songs which you can again direct, and so on. If you create, for example, "Arlo Guthrie" radio, it'll soon offer up folks like Pete Seeger, Bod Dylan, Ramblin' Jack etc......and you can create as many different stations as you want. You can also "Bookmark" songs, which creates for you a library of stuff you can access and listen to anytime you're connected 8)

If you go here and click on St. James Infirmary with drums, you'll get an example of jamming from 3,000 miles apart...

Pandora sounds like www.jango.com.

With Jango.com, you can customize your own playlist of artists, and with each artist you add, you get more artists suggestions in the same genre that you can pick from.

it's like a CD changer for your favorite artists in random play. You can make it 100% your own, or add jango's suggestions, as many as you want.

Like Pandora, you can maintain multiple playlists, so if you want one for your early folk favorites, one for 50s, one for flower power, you can have it all and enjoy what you like, when you want it.

About every 10 or 15 songs, you have to sit through a 30-second commercial -- that is how Jango pays for its free service.

And about every 10 songs, Jango throws in a new artist along the lines of your playlist -- an unknown who may perk up your ears or just make you cringe. You can rate the artist yes or no, and you can either add it to your playlist or trash it. And you can skip to the next song if it does nothing for you.
