Internet Radio

I found my new favorite internet radio station of all time this morning:

Classic Soul, slacker.com.

In the past hour they have played hard-core gems, including:

Why You Treat Me So Bad: Club Nouveau
Girlfriend: Bobby Brown

And to refresh your memory of Girlfriend:

I'm liking this station mostly because half of the songs are great, and half of the songs SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. I want all of these songs (like that Bobby Brown song, or the DeBarge song that was just on) on vinyl in order to rival Chippy's yodeling chickens (don't ask-- you don't want to know) at the Casa on occasion.

I'll have to try your Soultown sometime.

The Temptations and the Five Stairsteps, respectively.

That Bobby Brown chestnut was AMAZING. This has nothing to do with Bobby Brown. (Forgive me if I'm violating posting rules.) But I'm reading the Aeneid for class, which isn't funny, and came across this with kind of is:

That one was a winner, but I don't know if it beats this one:

I now have "Rush Radio" and "Bread Radio" on pandora.com. It's not spectactular; the variety could be better, but I like the semi-randomness of it.

Glib, You are the new winner, my friend. I laughed my ass off! It's going to take me a few days for an appropriate reply. I've never seen anything quite so good.
Find me on github.
