    I just cancelled my kPig subscription. I love the music, but the ‘hog call’, pig-squealing, etc just got really old. I have found pretty good free options, so wifey said no mas.

    been listening to WXPN out of Philly the last few days, good tunes. They're doing a top 2020 songs countdown, they're at like number 1500 right now, quite a ways to go.

    As are the morning David Lynch weather reports.

    Henry Rollins’ shows are not really my musical lane but I still enjoy listening to them sometimes.

    Anne Lit’s era of MBE is fine.

    Every DJ on that station seems like a nice human being.

    I’ve listened to a startling amount of KCRW this year, particularly since I don’t live in LA and have to stream it.
    Cool! Jason Bentley, their music director, was doing metropis 8-9pm weekdays, if I remember correctly, in late 90-early 200... listened on the radio religiously. Friend of mine even taped it on occasion.

    So I was kinda semi-sorta following the top 2020 songs of all time list on WXPN, heard bits and pieces of it. I randomly clicked in and they were just starting the top 10. Did you know that Thunder Road is the best song in rock and roll history? Neither did I. pfft. boo. But Philly's next to Jersey...so, yeah.

    Used to listen to KPIG a lot over the air when I was living in the Santa Cruz mountains. Mainly because there was little choice, but I did like their music choices.

    Listened for awhile over the internet after I left the area, but when they started charging for subscription I let it drop too.

    These days, can’t say I listen to radio for music much at all. Got a bunch of flash drives with downloaded music that I cycle through. Mainly listen to the radio for news.

    I believe he’s doing metropolis 8-10 on saturdays these days. He just stepped down a year ago from being music director but is still doing that show on saturdays.

    We're the exact opposite there. I like curated music, where a good dj is connecting things in some fashion that may include music that I don't know and may or may not like. My hard drive was full a couple years ago and I spun off nearly 150 gigs of music to an external hard drive and I haven't accessed it once.

    I've heard a lot of it, here and there, played by someone else in a different context and in that way it seems fresh. Random access to archived music on a hard drive/cloud/whatever is just kind of stale to me.

    Dang... I did not know that. Tells you how little I tune in these days.

    I do check them out at the end of the year for the “best of the year” lists. They used to include links to Spotify and iTunes but nit this year for some reason.

    Anyway, the lists are the best way I know to discover new music:

    Finding a DJ who plays music I’m interested in listening to is the problem for me. The local stations are mostly top 40 corporate wastelands. I guess I really should check out some of the recommendation in this thread.

    For years now. Pretty great in general. It's pretty much all I listen to unless I'm looking for a specific tune or video.

    Been a while since I've thought about it, but I believe the bloodline runs something like...

    KSAN -> KFAT -> KPIG - Radio Paradise

    Not a bad lineage.

    It's radioparadise.com for me these days - good mixed bag of real music, no Cheezy Whiz.

    I liked their slogan: “Freedom’s just another word for Watsonville”.

    If you like jazz, check out kmhd. Really good "out of the box" type jazz from Mount Hood Community College.

    WNRN in Charlottesville VA is awesome, they do blocks like a college station and their music selection is amazing. Of particular mention is their Saturday 9 am - 11 am show “The Grateful Dead and Phriends Show” — two guys do a wake and bake with live Dead bootlegs, then for the last hour switch to jam bands.

    I pretty much exclusively listen to NTS these days. I don't even use my spotify anymore.
    WFMU is great.

    I got turned on to Cool Blue Flame late in 2020 and have been listening religiously. Described as: "Postwar atmospherica. High bop modernism and Afro-Latin sounds, twilight exotica and soundtrack moods, soul stompers and weepers, hypnotic R&B and blues, mystical '60s pop, lonely country, lonelier rock 'n' roll, instrumental weirdness, electronic creaking"

    Many songs shazamed into my playlist from this show.

    24/7 Ska & Reggae (with a smidgeon of Soul and Punk thrown in). The station has been building for over the past two years and has gained a following from nearly every continent on the globe. The station prides itself on the collection of Presenters that it has gathered from around the world. Each Presenter has a passion for the music they play, whether it is Ska, Ska Punk, Reggae, Boss Reggae, Dub, Lovers, Dancehall, etc. they try to bring you a mixture all the eras from the early 60’s right the way through to pre-release albums.
