Other Options You Have Beyond The Radio/I Feel Cheated!

If you are sick of mainstream radio as I am, I just wanted to make you aware that you do have options and I just wanted to present some radio alternatives your way:

Yahoo Music

One of my favorite sources of music. You can create your own radio station based on your ratings. I have my radio station link below for you to check out:

Pandora Music

I love this site because it's in the same format as other Internet radio stations but this site is a little bit more detailed in its selection process for you. The site breaks down songs by genre, composition of the song, vocal styling, etc. The site shows much love to indie artists. Please check it out:

Last FM

I just started using this radio station and it seems like its a little needy in terms of setup but makes good choices based on your ratings. This one also scans your Itunes or Windwow's play lists and makes choices for you based on the number of times those songs are played. Check it out here:

I love soul/rb music. I feel like I have a strong connection with this genre and I have a friend who has an excellent radio program/podcast. (Plus her radio voice is hmmmm wonderful :)) I had to give her shout out. She always goes deep in her archives and provides you with the best of the best in soul/rb music. Check her out here:

I'm always looking for new music, so if you have any other suggestions, please pass them my way.

Why do I Feel Cheated?

All of those hours spending on my baseball card collections, organizing them by team, position, etc...Spending 3 and 4 hours in front of my tiny black and white TV with the UHF VHF dials watching 9 innings of baseball...bartering or just begging for the right baseball card with all of my friends in order to complete my collection....for what? Its been all a lie.....LIES I tell you. But to tell you the truth, Barry Bonds was quite obvious. I remember him playing with the Pittsburgh Pirates and he was skinny as a rail and then a few years later, BAM, he turned into the Negro Hulk! But Barry, Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco, Lenny Dykstra, and Roger Clemens, they all let me down.

I gave up on baseball after they striked for the second time back in the 80's. I kept saying, these are some spoiled, selfish players, so I quit watching the game. But, I had the itch again, I wanted to get back into the stats, figuring who would win the Cy Young award, etc...but thanks to the Mitchell Report.....I have lost interest again. I guess now it will be a matter of time that the NBA and the NFL will be under a nasty cloud of steroid talk. I guess time will tell....
