a shout-out for ME!

So, I know I've mentioned here that my three favorite internet radio stations are Groove Salad, Whole Wheat Radio, and Radio Paradise.

Whole Wheat Radio is a pretty neat station. It's based out of Alaska and they play indie folk music. trouble4hire liked it when I played it around her and she discovered that there is a wiki, which we both signed up for. One of the benefits of this wiki is that those signed on can look and see who is listening at a given time. One of the other benefits is that you can request music, and that is how most of their playlists are generated - they only use DJs if they run out of listener requests.

I was listening in my room, and I heard a guy's voice say, "I just wanted to suggest that for the current show, the next five hours, we play our favorites. We have a lot of new listeners, like LadyAnemone, and instead of requesting obscure stuff like $ArtistINeverHeardOf let's show off the stuff that makes us so great for a while. I see LadyAnemone is listening from a Streamium, which is apparently a wireless device, how cool is that?"

How cool my wireless stereo is? It's nothing compared to the excitement of hearing my name on a radio station I love! Awesome!

If you like folk music, you should try Whole Wheat Radio. Really you should.

That's pretty cool.

Do you ever listen to WUMB, from UMass Boston? I used to listen to it all the time when I lived there. I was so excited when I found it online.

very cool that you got a shout out!

Thank you! I think I like it.

Yes, I do sometimes listen to WUMB. I wouldn't say it's on my top-ten list, but I do like it. :)

[lady-anemone.livejournal.com]

Cool! I didn't know you enjoyed folk music. :)

Haha, amazing. xD Being on the radio is totally exciting. Especially since it involves your stereo of ridiculous, which can access the internet.

Glad you liked us!

Hey LadyAnemone ... it was a pleasure having you listening. Come back sometime and I'll read you a whole poem. Or a book or something. Or, if you'd like, I say your name 50 times in a row! :-)

I agree, it was really cool! And I still love my stereo. People are still surprised to find out that it is wireless, even though it's now been several years since I bought it, and it wasn't the top of the line then... I guess newer stereos have HD. I'll have to invest in that sometime since I do really like listening to the radio. But not this year, that's for sure.

Hey Jim, thanks for the re-shout! Ooh, a poem! With an offer like that, you'll be seeing me again for sure!

Just kidding. I would have kept listening with no shout-outs. :) You just didn't know I was there before because I hadn't found the wiki.
