Looking for good music?

I had planned to post on this, and on reading sundancekid's thread on the sorry state of country music, it became imperative.

Check out http://www.woxy.com. They style themselves the "Future of Rock n' Roll" and they play excellent modern rock!! I started listening to them at work and have discovered all sorts of great bands: The New Pornographers, Dios Malos, Her Space Holiday, The Minus 5, Immaculate Machine, and Sons and Daughters, just to name a few. They also play artists I've liked for a while, like Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Tegan and Sara, The Bravery, The Killers, etc.

Give it a try. And also check out the Vintage Woxy feed for great "historical" modern rock, alternative and punk.

Thanks for the link. I'm listening to it now on iTunes. At first I was trying through Windows Media Player, and it just wouldn't work.

My pleasure. If you listen for a while, every now and then you will catch them playing a block that has some sort of theme (all the song titles contain the same word, etc.). Just about an hour ago they played "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" by LCD Soundsystem, and followed it with "Around the World" by Daft Punk!

Also, they only show the last five songs that they played on the main site, but you can find play lists for any period deeper in the site (http://www.woxy.com/music/playlist/).

Franz Ferdinand - Michael
Broadcast - Michael A Grammar

This was cute. I like the station a lot, and they have a great backstory. Rainman and everything!
