An Internet Radio Station For True Music Fans

By Julio Haselton

I have a problem listening to the radio. Stations would play the same radio rotation over and over, and they just didn't change. I was starting to get really tired of listening to the same artists play the same songs. Sometimes I get so fed up, I start listening to talk radio instead. Unfortunately, I would just end up turning the radio off because talk radio became so boring.

You see, I always want to hear new musicians play new music. It's important that I hear creativity and talent when I'm listening. I'm pretty sure that truly passionate, independent musicians are usually ignored by the music industry. Instead, artistic management agencies just pick to represent more of the same, every single time. When you watch TV, even the music videos are all the same.

I found myself becoming really cynical about music. In fact, I realized that I hadn't listened to any music for quite some time. I'd become so bitter towards the music industry that I didn't want to hear anything on the radio that reminded me of that.

Finally, I figured out that my girlfriend was tired of my whining about the lack of music with creativity. Apparently she found one website she thought was really great after she went online and searched internet radio stations. One night we sat down at the computer together, and she showed me the IM Radio site.

On IM Radio, I found internet radio at its finest. A ton of independent musicians, comedians, and poets have found the website to be home. You see, they play something completely different from the typical air play. Their playlist offers songs and acts from talented artists that are up and coming. These artists, musicians, comedians, and poets didn't sell out. This material is just fresh, exciting, and new. IM Radio is a true, independent internet radio station; they feature acts that just are completely away from the norm. On that website, you won't run out of new, talented creatives to follow.

My girlfriend and I finally turned the computer off after several hours of listening. However, we now leave the computer on at the IM Radio site all the time. While we clean house, read, or watch TV, we are listening. Sometimes we become entranced by the latest thing playing on the internet radio station, so we'll just sit on the couch and let our minds wander. We've discovered that we are really inspired by some of the stuff they play, too. A lot of times I'll be listening to the IM Radio airplay, and I'll come up with a lot of amazing ideas.

You definitely need to check out IM Radio if you've become as cynical about radio as I was. You'll find music, comedy, and poetry from artists that are still incredibly creative and full of talent; all while you listen to a whole new internet radio station. I've never found that their playlist seems stale; it changes all the time.
