Repeat after me: "I, (state your name), will liberate myself from the vertiginous tether of the status-quo also known as the mainstream machine!"
Although, should mainstream radio ever invite EWO to their very elite private party for Jerks, we would certainly be remiss of the above statement and decline ever having uttered such damning wordage... our hypocrisy knows no bounds.
That said, if you're tired of the repetition and the monotony of mainstream FM, you have far more choice than you may realize. College radio is a refreshing alternative, Satellite radio offers a wide variety of themed stations... but probably the most under rated form of radio listening is on the web. Specifically Indie web radio.
I know, I know... "the sound quality blows, the streaming is never smooth, my speakers suck!"... For the longest time I thought the very same things. But as father time keeps on keepin' on, the technology improves and new amazing organizations emerge to improve on a growing trend.
Enter indielove.ca
Indielove.ca plays straight through your iTunes (other methods are also available). The DJ's have personality plus and play really great Independent Canadian artists from coast to coast. As for sound quality, get off your ass and buy a pair of decent speakers from Futureshop for $40 and you'll be golden... you cheap bastard!
Yes, EWO is currently on their play list, and yes we need you to request the tunes as often as possible. But our admiration for Indielove.ca reaches far beyond the realm of shameless self promotion. I have found other acts I truly love - Ninja Highschool and Drowning Girl are just a couple of great examples. So get online, there's no sign up, there's no charges and no hassle.
