East Village Radio

They were originally 88.1 FM illegally; it's highly competitive business to buy into the FM market, especially in NYC. When they were called on it (2003) they switched to an internet station, great. I'm glad this music has found a home on the internet.

Maybe this is why I want to live in New York? I mean, don't get me wrong, Toronto is radical and magic and sweet and exciting, but excuse me storefront for an internet radio station! We've got a long way to go.

Before I go on, check out Short Bus Radio with Speculator Monday afternoons 2-4pm. He's a master aficionado of electronic, if y'all are into that sorta thing. You can also browse his four most recent sets because it's the internet!

ok so I asked William Burnett (host of Short Bus Radio) for the playlist I linked to in my previous post 'lovefingers' and am obsessed with right now, turns out the song i can't get out of my head is done by Daniel Wang called Pistol Oderso. Thank god and thank you William. This lead me to another blog called 'Oh Heavenly Dog' by Chevy Chasr which has another bunch of great posts on it. Digress.

There is a great article on EVR in the gothamist from this past September on EVR.

Can we start one!?
