RE: Why contemporary music sounds terrible
 >> This is my current 
favorite "radio"  <<
 
I have three sony cd-jukebox things at 
home, each with 400 discs. faced with so little prospect of finding time to 
enjoy the fruits of my avaricious purchasing, I bought a thing called a 
"slingbox", & hooked two of the machines up to it, so that they 
crossfade/shuffle from my collection, totally at random. then I pointed an old 
dv camera at the front of them so I can see what they're doing. thus, I can 
see & hear my own cd collection being played 24/7, wherever I can get on the 
internet. sadly, it only supports one user at a time,but one day I might have 
the web chops to stream the buggers properly & publish a link. folks ask me 
why I don't just get an i-pod or something similar- I guess I'm just 
old-fashioned.
 
today the randomiser seems to be fixated 
on king crimson, the smiths & sonic youth. yesterday it was yes, bob 
dylan & hawkwind. all that's missing is a friendly knowledgable voice 
every now & then, but there are some bill hicks recordings in there, 
so.....
