With some nifty apps coming down the pipe soon

KEXP thrives in an era of dying radio, great to see them expanding east

Will broadcast KEXP from 6am to noon, host a nightly world music show and a weekly Kevin Cole show.

Agreement with the big four labels includes an ad revenue model that will share with artists based on how often a track gets played

Lots of streaming music, great aggregation of stations, including Seattle's own KEXP

Protesting the proposed changes to broadcast royalty rates that would make internet broadcasts all but impossible for everything but the most commercialized drivel.

I love NPR

Fuck me, I'm pissed that I get so irrationally pissed about this fucking bullshit. Motherfucking assholes...

...finally

In the late 50's, the US tried to blanket the earth atmosphere with tiny copper needles to create a redundant ionosphere for shortwave radio communications, in case the Russians cut our terrestrial cables. Crazy.

This made my day

Man, all the cool kids are using this thing...

Pretty soon the "I, for one, welcom our new Google overlord" jokes aren't going to be funny. Not. One. Bit.

"It's globally popular and flush with donations, but Seattle's seminal eclectic-music radio station is under financial strain that is affecting morale." Seems acquiring KXOT wasn't the best idea...

It's interesting that NPR is not only better serving their listeners, but have built a revenue stream from podcasting

Time to pay for that copy of Audio Hijack Pro and set up some micro podcasts

Kinda pathetically small [via joeweiss]

If I were at all interested in Sirius radio, this would rock. Instead, they should put a Roku Soundbridge inside one of these gorgeous boxes - i'd buy two.
