While we wait anxiously for the upcoming Smashy & Dubby FM 
thought I'd mention this net radio station mularkey.
I'm just a crusty old git who still thinks 45rpm platters matter, but in case I'm not the only one have a shufty at www.last.fm. I found it after someone suggested launch.yahoo.com as custom radio station that plays music you tell it to, and similar stuff besides. It lasted 5 minutes before I binned it in disgust at the shite sound quality and bloody adverts
So a bit of googling later and I found LastFm.
Just for a laugh I told it to play stuff 'similar to Gary Numan' (so predictable
) and in the last hours or so it's given me Front 242, PWIE, Ultravox (Systems of Romance), Visage (The Dancer), Bauhaus, Nitzer Ebb, Kraftwerk (Radioactivity), Adam and the Ants (Ants Invasion), Foetus, Cocteau Twins, VNV Nation, KLF, Stranglers, etc etc etc. No Numan yet though. Oops spoke too soon, here's Exposure.
No adverts, no talking, and a decent quality 128K stream. Check it out. ;D
