I go there to listen to streaming episodes of The Ongoing History of New Rock at work on the weekends. I've found that occasionally the site gets lost in its own frames and such when following links here and there.

Mike, I was thinking the same thing, I Went there to check for the ground breakers and I had trouble finding it.

OK, you asked for this comment and now you're gonna get it! Dude! They only play 40 fuckin songs! How hard is it to follow! LMAO

here's what a real radio station looks like:

I forgot, Jason, you're British. At least I see they play the Foo.

I've been listening for a while now, and I like it. Strokes, the Rac, and lots and lots of British stuff.

Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of music out of the UK, but can't you recommend an XFM type station that isn't so UK-centric? Ideally there'd be a Canadian-centric equivalent, and barring that, an American one... so I get the odd Kooks, Arctic Monkeys, etc... but there's still lots of BSS, Strokes, White Stripes, Foo Fighters, Arcade Fire, etc.

Ideally there would be, wouldn't there? But there isn't. That's why I whine.

Try Indie 103 and CBC 3 or CFM Calgary.. Josh HOlliday is there... but I can only stand it in doses.

Oops, that was supposed to say Calgary's XFM.

XFM London plays all those bands you mentioned... maybe no BSS but every other single one. More during the day than during block programming hours. But block programming is where it's at. XFM London even plays a Newmarket band.. Tokyo Police Club... while in comparision I belt you'll never hear Razorlight on The Edge

Another good one is KCRW Santa Monica.

The new site is a work in progress...we're working on improving things as the site evolves.
Groundbreakers are back too!
