BeSonic
Music without big business, what a concept.
Even when I find music that I like, if it's managed by a major record company then I somehow feel abused,
manipulated and overcharged.
Music produced by people who have signed a contract with the mainstream labels makes for a more stressful
listening experience than hearing music directly from the creators.
The decaying ethics of the majors devalues and distorts our shared cultural, sonic environment!
So, if you're ready, here's another source of the real stuff! Try BeSonic
Registration at this ghost of mp3 dot com, is simple and gives your online alias access
to an eclectic library of music.
I had a couple of days of supreme enjoyment after creating a streaming playlist of roots
reggae songs that I'd never heard before.

Whole Wheat Radio
I like listening to new music.
I don't enjoy hearing the same song over and over again.
So being both tired of the hassles involved in just listening to
new 'copyright' music and seeing little value in buying mp3 music files,
I've been receptive to new sources for my musical satisfaction.
Here's the 1st of a couple links that you might want to try.
Whole Wheat Radio originates from a 12 x 12 cabin in Talkeetna, Alaska
and plays music by independent artists 24 hours/day, 365 days/year.
The automated playlist can be over-ridden by listener requests.
Last time I tuned in there were 11 listeners worldwide.
The system can currently handle 30 concurrent listeners.
It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's worth a listen to find out.
