what do y'all like on the radio?

I have a small computer that set up to play streaming audio from the Internet on a schedule. The goal is to have good (or at least potentially good) music on tap round the clock. It's my personal radio station. I've already got my favorites in rotation, but I want more. I'll listen to any damn thing . . . what do y'all like on the radio?

In case you care, my favorites include:

KEXP Seattle . . . good all-purpose college station. Good weeknight shows as well. Swingin' Doors on Thursday nights is a great non-cheesy C&W/"American Roots" show. I used to live in Seattle and still listen to KUOW (NPR) and KPLU (Jazz) as well.

WMNF Tampa has a sometimes-great hip-hop show called "Underground Railroad" on Saturday nights. They make an effort to give lots of time to Florida acts; I live in So. Florida as well so I give 'em points for that. As a public service they report the locations of speed traps and police checkpoints. The tension created when three or more drunk and stoned DJs are trying not to cuss or play songs with cusswords adds to the entertainment value, especially since they always let a few slip.

WDVX is broadcast out of a 16-foot trailer home in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee. It's mostly bluegrass and country gospel, and they know their shit.

to name just a few . . .

I don't listen to radio. Not to be a uber-hip, indie snob or anything. Its just that they never play anything I like. When they do its one song amongst a thousand songs that grate on me. Ugh. Hell, I didn't even know who Weezer were till a few weeks ago. I feel really out of it at times.

I listen to Sports Talk Radio in Philly. I used to listen to college radio but even that isn't hip enough anymore for such a rad, ultracontarian such as myself.
