Yes it is true. And yeah you probably could get dual citizenship, anyone can get citizenship here it seems. Don't know about the exchange though. EH!\nAnd I agree the Hip suck now but their album Up To Here is one I like. They haven't done anything really good since then.

You don't have to pay for Launchcast, but you loose the option to skip songs more then 5 times an hour.  Try it.  When I'm not streaming the local radio station, I have Launchcast on.

I'd like to hear music with some substance.  With so much going on in our country today, I am surprised that popular music doesn't reflect the issues at hand.  There are some good tunes out there, but more often than not, they are not being played by the radio stations or mtv.  It seems like whenever I turn on my radio I hear "My Humps" or that "Crazy Bitc*" song.  Or that "Hate me Today" song or some other song about sex/women's bodies/or self loathing. bllllaaaah.    \nI was in college when September 11th happened and one of the things I noticed is how MTV stopped playing music like Britney Spears or the boy bands or rap.  They put on old videos of bands that actually HAVE messages in their music like U2, Pearl Jam, etc.   So they know they are playing crap, they just don't care, unless of course there is a tragedy.   Personally I'd like to hear music like that ALL of the time and I'd like our youth to hear that music, too.

Launchcast is specifically designed to feed you music of its choosing like a regular radio station does, except that its choices are *influenced* by your preferences.  It partly has to do with the licensing that the record companies give them for the fees they pay.  AT Best, you will get 80% of your rated music and 20% of totally unrated music.  Launchcast will try to respect the genres you like, but part of the service is that it is going to feed you music that, in theory, you haven't heard before.\n\nIf you want to specify ALL the music you hear, then Yahoo Music Unlimited is the product that does that (and it includes a Launchcast Plus subscription).

Wow.... you like crappy music. Or if you'd like i can put it this way.... You like music that requires very little talent to make....by someone who cares more about money than the actual art of music. (just like everyone else in that particular genre) How can you listen to this crap? Honestly. Do you just listen to what you hear on the radio because you're incapable of making your own choices? Or is it because you're a dumbass and incapable of making your own choices?

I think it's really inconsiderate that people do this.  In some cases they play their music too loud going through residential areas, and sometimes they do it really late at night.  It's ridiculous when I'm inside my house and hear their music louder than I can my own TV.  Similarly, it's a bit extreme when I can hear another driver's stereo louder than I can my own.  And what's really sad is that some of their stereos sound as if the nuts and bolts of the car will start popping out if they crank it up any louder.\n\nFortunately, many municipalities have laws against playing music too loudly, and they can receive tickets for doing it.  Unfortunately, the police can't be everywhere, but I think paying fines might make some of them think twice before cranking it up.\n\nI don't play mine so loud that it bothers others, and I expect the same courtesy.  I always had a saying that if I wanted to hear their music, I'd be in the car with them.  But I think one of the best quotes I ever heard about it came from Ted Danson's character on "Becker":  "I don't drive through their neighborhoods blasting James Taylor!"

depends what sort of music it is. ive heard lots of unsigned bands on radio 1(u.k) and xfm. send a demo cd off to stations of this ilk and as many of the djs on these staations as you can.

There was a hostage case some years ago where the gunman holding people hostage demanded that the local radio station play the same Celine Dion song over and over. The radio code is an urban legend that sprang from that situation.\nUsually when I hear a Celine Dion song my greatest concern is that I won't be able to change the station quickly enough.

No, you're correct, there is nothing on the radio.  All of what's being played now is fabricated by un-bands... instead of when we were growing up when bands were discovered instead of being 'made'.  We really have Milli Vanilli to thank for the current trend.  It's ironic, when Milli Vanilli was uncovered as a fake, they were basically drummed out of the business.  But, today, you'll find Milli Vanilli's all over the place (Ashlee Simpson) and yet they still release CDs.  Go figure.

I'm also in LA, unfortunately, there aren't any radio stations that play that music. The stupid oldies radio station, k-earth, doesn't even play real oldies...idiots!

You just say that you would like to request a song.  Then they will ask the song and you tell them what song you woulg like to hear.  Then they will tell you if they will play it or not.

Having lived through both era's, we like to think 'our music' how ever we individually define it has the most meaning. That's why some people adore pop stars and others like cult bands. \n\nDo I think that there will be a radio station like an 'oldies' or a 'classic rock' format that plays Green Day or Eminen ... if they programmers feel that they can make money doing it, there will be.

they dont play anything good on any radio station, your going to have to buy or download what you like and buy a cd player if you want something good.
