Online Radio

Posts Tagged ‘top music’

With the advances in high-speed internet more and more people are flocking to online radio stations for their listening pleasure rather than tuning in to their local airwaves. The internet offers a wider variety of choices in every genre and it is instantly available. There are also talk radio stations that offer fun and informative programming and you can pick up stations in any country around the world no matter where you are located.
The only drawback to online radio stations is that high-speed connections are a must, and the faster the better.

Slower speeds even in DSL can cause lags in signal, slow loading, and a lot of buffering which causes breaking up of the music or information. Another reason people are tuning into internet radio in droves is the fact that they are largely commercial free. Like the old FM of the initial heyday in the 70’s that offered a commercial free alternative to AM stations, the internet gives its listeners continuous pleasure without breaks for advertising.

Some of the advantages of the top online radio stations:

• Many broadcast both music and videos so you can see the top music videos to go along with the song vs just listening to the music on your radio.
• Easy to use
• Many offer parental guidance ability to block what you do not want your children listening to
• Some allow you to create your own ‘station’ with music you choose to listen to

Some of the disadvantages of the top online radio stations:

• Many will require that you sign up for the service. Some are free, some are not, but most of the sign up forms are easy enough to fill out.
• Depending on your country of origin there may be some limitations from stations from other countries

For many listeners the internet is the way to go for the best music and talk radio experience.

NEW YORK — After the lukewarm reception Nelly received on the albums Sweat and Suit (two albums released on the same day in 2004) and the follow-up Brass Knuckles, the hip-hop Mayor of St. Louis has been back in the studio focusing on sounding better than ever.

“The thing is, I work best with two strikes, two outs,” Nelly said recently. “I really think I do. As an artist, you want to wake up every day and feel like you’re doing something people don’t think you can do. Now I feel like I’ve been put in that position again, where it’s more doubt than expectancy. The doubt is what fuels me, so to speak. I’ve been real fortunate where I have great people around me. Everybody wants to freakin’ work with me — not that everybody didn’t [before], but it’s different because I didn’t work with a lot of people. Coming into this situation, it’s beautiful.”

Nelly worked with producers Play-N-Skillz on a track called “Angel Eyes,” a record that samples Kim Carnes’ classic “Bette Davis Eyes.” Mr. Pimp Juice also says he has some samples of jazz great Miles Jaye as well as Notorious B.I.G. on a track called “Thousand Stacks.” Diddy, Jim Jonsin and Rico Love also produced on the album.

“In the booth right now, it’s kind of different,” he said about his guest stars. “I got Sean Paul, Akon … as far as the rappers go, Plies. Me and Jeezy talking about some things now. I’m not finished, but I’m a good portion on the way.”

Nelly’s album is still untitled.
