Artist Launch in the process of a refit, apparently. Quite a strange website with some strange music. Very alternative. Some jazz and blues stuff to keep you entertained. Lots of artists and a few hippies. All for streaming. Should have a new player soon.

Honking Duck has 701 files of, wait for it, 78RPM records in RealAudio format. What a novel idea. Early country music and string bands. Even a bit of sacred harp in there. Listen away.

Di.fm offers free electronic music, streaming at you 24 hours a day. Woohaa! Free stations from loads of DJs and artists. The usual electronic genres are covered here. You can upgrade for premium service for $4.95 a month, but it’s not essential.

Whole Wheat Radio is a streaming indie radio run out of Alaska. Certainly a novel idea. These guys say they are a non-profit venture and they donate lots of money to charity. Listen at high speed or low speed. Has forums and you can make requests. Pretty cool ideas here.

Radio 3 lets you listen to live concerts and studio jams. Another Canadian website. Haven’t heard of most of the bands, but had a listen and they sounded all right.

Beta Lounge is a cool little radio streaming website based out of San Francisco. Pretty hip beats here. Listen away.

Realtime365.com used to be a live streaming radio station. Things have changed and there is no more radio, but there are still lots of band links. Decent electornica stuff, from drum n bass to ambient. Shame the radio is off air now.

Polyrad is actually in French. From what we can see, though, it’s like a 24-hour student radio station. You can listen to all sorts of genres, from jazz to dance music. Lots of streaming audio to listen to.
