Prog Internet Radio Stations

Its been a while since we've discussed this and since I'm listening to more of this lately, I thought I'd share..

Right now I'm listening to ELP's Trilogy on "Live365"... their prog station which is called " Harold the Barrell".. don't know why... but its a great program... its UK 70s prog only... and I really love it.

When I want to listen to update myself on new prog... and I don't mean neo-prog... just current prog (most of who I've never heard of before) with some mix of the old stuff... I listen to

This station is great for hearing all there is out there today... what I listened to a bit this morning on this station:

The Age / Down and Away -Violet District

Metamorphosis - Curved Air

Dreamscapes - Sonic Pulsar

Dotyk Nocy – Svann

Inner Vision - Social Tension

Perseids - French TV

How To Make It – Fruitcake

Room For Sale – Circus

The Divide – Lorien

Rendezvous – UK

Follow Me to Salzberg –Jadis

History of the Sandman - F.R.E.U.D.

Rain Down - Ad Infinitum

Ksiezycowy – Svann

I mean how many stations would play Pete Sinfield's "Still" w/ Greg Lake .... as Live365 is playing right now....

However Live365 will give you ads.. not many, but they are there.... where Starsteam has no ads at all... just continuous music...

Live365 just played "Have a Cigar" and now its playing all of Genesis "The Musical Box"

The only problem playing this at work is keeping it at a level that won't piss off everyone else in the office.... Prog doesn't tend to be monotoned....

Has BBC Radio 6, found any room for prog rock - as the controller of BBC Radio claimed when DAB was unveiled several years ago?

I have to blow my own trumpet (especially now our server is sorted), check out my radio show Alternative Alternative Show, 8pm to 11pm GMT (BST from the end of March) on Thursday night.  The title of the show because I try to avoid the usual music heard on "youth-oriented radio" and as a result gained the largest listenship on radio station - i.e. the 18 to 24 years old music crowd is far more eclectic than BBC makes out  (say from Radio One). Don't expect an exclusive prog rock show for 3 hours, but as a flavour of tomorrow night's show:

Far Corners, Touch, Parallel Or 90 Degree, Govt. Mule, The Black Keys, Jo MacGregor (our own recording artist), Patrick O'Heanr, Jerry Goodman, Jan Hammer, The Muffins, (celebrate their lives and music), Dick Heckstall-Smith and Kevin Coyne  etc.

.e. the blues, jazz, jazz roick, prog, some folk and some raid of the rock obscurities in the archives.

Sooner or later the show will be regularly recorded and webarchived - already have a significant US listenership but with complaints that they have to have the show on when at work. Webarchive might be in operation again in a few weeks, however, starting with 2 and half hours of music and chat with Krimson biographer Sid Smith - greater raconteur, and an 20 minute interview with Gary Husband about Force Majeure. In talks with Chad Wackerman (Zappa, Holdsworth etc) about a phone interview in next few weeks (he has just released his 4th album) - and after confirmation I will be requesting topics to discuss here. BTW if Threefates can use her good contacts, I would love both Greg Lake and Carl Palmer to be on the show - one of Mr Palmer's children is a student here.

Where to find us:

www.LCR1350.co.uk

and follow the simple instructions. I like to talk off-air during the show - so use the e.mail link here. Requests most certainly taken, but played the following week if available.

I don't know.. when I click listen it gives me a selection of speeds and then it brings up my real player software to play off of.  At home it brings up my Jukebox software to play off of.  Maybe you don't have a media player that its use to dealing with.

You've probably forgot what happened on your initial visit to the site,3F's.

I have Realplayer,WinAmp etc etc. I dont like downloading files that I cant verify.

Anyone else here gone to the site recently?
