Indie 103.1 FM Rest in Pieces
File under: day late dollar short.
In the category of radio station most likely to play the bands on the cover of SPIN magazine in Los Angeles, there was only one. Indie 103.1… I don’t know the who deal beyond the fact that this radio station is going to become net only. (I guess they weren’t getting enough advertising revenue) You can check it out at indie1031.com
But in my opinion, wfmu.org is the best online radio by far. Also, as a shout out to my Dad’s lifelong love of steel guitar you can check out Steel Guitar Radio
Then in terms of LA “independent” radio, it’s nearly maxxxxed out already with:
littleradio.com who had an interview with erstwhile indie 1031 program director Mark Shovel::: here (look on the left under archives 1/16/09… it starts with a wicked sharp ease track)
vivaradio.com run by the canadian/american dreamers at American Apparel.
killradio.org very independent… clark 8 (err me playing clark 8 songs acoustically) played on killradio.org a while back
dublab.com killer electronic sounds and events around LA
and finally
imradionetwork.org
All of those are LA based alt-sounds streaming on the internet…
not to mention the variety of podcasts coming out of more and more blogs… who knows, maybe this one.
So… I personally think Fox/MySpace should buy 103.1 FM. I personally see more rotation of commercially viable rock, rap, r&b, etc. on MySpace Music than anywhere else. They just cornered that market early and well.
I still mainly buy local when it comes to fresh tunes.
