I've got a lot of music, collected over the years. Last check was something like 40,000 songs and over 2,000 full albums (growing very fast these days as well...). I started listening to online radio, but the best I find is either very/only obscure or top 40 indie music. I thought I could do better... I especially try to have lots of live/rare/remixes that are hard to find... Worth a listen if you like Indie or Electronica otherwise I doubt you'll enjoy it...

If you had a goldfish, what would you call it? dead! I can't even keep plants alive! Have you ever liked or, worse still, bought an East 17 record?Uh... never heard of 'em! Quick check on allmusic and can safely say that I would not have bought them even if I was in UK... never liked any teen bands, much less bought one... Early 90's I was mostly into Madchester music or Industrial... I wanna know more about the 3 women in the bathJust a joke really - happened when I was too young to remember..... And I want to hear your music It's on my to-do list to make you a CD andy - I don't think you'll like my radio that much (but could be wrong!!) Indie OR electronica?Indie. I struggle much more getting good electronica to put on my station. My CD collection is 80% Indie as well... with maybe 10% electronica. My mp3 collection is more balanced though....

how do you find the UK to the US? It's not really comparable - like an apple and organge comparison really... I have good friends in both places, in fact some of my best friends from the UK just moved to Seattle (where I'm from) For US - Make more money, cheaper to live, better housing etc... For UK - Close to very good and vibrant on-going music scene, More liberal politics/lifestyle, can work 40 hours a week (vs 60+ in the US), Travel (I love Europe), No religious BS to deal with (my parents live in a dry county if you can believe that!), Less ignorant/intollerant people than in the US, etc... I'm happy in UK/Europe right now... when I get tired of living paycheck to paycheck (mostly because I spend so much money doing all the fun things that I am able to do over here like festis etc) I'll go back to the US...
