People used to post a lot of playlists on Blogcritics but I haven't seen many in quite a while 81610@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Aug 2004 14:11:40 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/25/112422.php#comment-81603 I think I've heard of things like this cropping up in places such as New York as well, although I'm too lazy to go look them up. Perhaps later. Either way, I think this is a fabulous idea and I would love to see it catch on in the States. With mostly all radio stations now operated by Clear Channel or some other similar conglomerate, club DJs are some of the few people left who really have a say in what they play (included in this category would be the small handful of independent radio stations, college radio, and internet radio). By allowing just anyone with an iPod (or similar music device) to walk in and play some music for 15 minutes, this club is further breaking down the boundaries between music and listener, allowing the fans themselves to program what THEY want to hear, and listeners the chance to hear things they might not otherwise in a Clear Channel-controlled universe. The future of the digital music revolution, anyone? 81603@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Aug 2004 13:45:09 EDT
