I began listening to you back when 99x first started and got a list from you February of last year detailing the stations top songs for every year 1993 - 1999. While I still really appreciate that I have now found myself bored listening to that music over and over and over. I still try to find new music and there are alot of bands that I do like since that time perioud but they are few and far between. Should you find some new bands you'd like to share I am all ears. Right now I'm listening to The Duke Spirit. Not bad but not jaw dropping. Seems that most music I hear now doesn't have the emotion it used to. It's alot of prepackaged copycat stuff at this point. Hope things are going well with whatever you are up to these days. - Stephen I am with you Sean.

Like Pandora it's nice but I have a few problems with it as I do most of the internet technologies out there. 1) The mix of ubiquitous tracks per artist to great (gonna love them eventually) tracks are out of proportion. 2) Not that I'm in love with DJs... but I miss someone who knows a lot about the music telling me why some artist is so great or why I should listen to a particular track. this may be a confusing premise for a lot of people because there are so few DJs who a genuine enough or are able to do it competently . But when it's done right it makes all the difference in your listening experience. 3) I miss what a good station brings to the table with a sense of community. What shows are coming up, events, neighborhood happenings. 4) The massive spaces between songs drives me a bit crazy. i love the sound of different tracks mixed together... it's an art when done right. Other than that... yeah, it's not bad. LOL sd Yeah, I have a Jango account. Like Pandora it’s nice but I have a few problems with it as I do most of the internet technologies out there.

It takes a while to build up your artists (especially if you are trying to do it at work), but I finally have something to listen to that I don't get bored with.
