portable internet radio? yes.
So I listen to KCRW and KEXP’s internet radio streams at some point each day from the comfort of the Moose desktop computer but now it seems I can access those streams on the go - read on.
Excerpt: …..to listen to Internet radio, you pretty much have to sit at your computer all day. Why doesn’t somebody invent a physical radio that can tune in all of this streaming goodness? Not a stereo component or computer peripheral, but a true-blue old-time tabletop console, with a row of preset buttons and built-in speakers? Somebody finally has. Several somebodies, actually. Companies like Roku, Com One, Revo, Terratec and Tivoli have all produced tabletop or bookshelf radios that are freaky hybrids of the old and new. You tune into radio shows just as you have for decades, but the radios’ antennas are internal Wi-Fi receivers that connect to a wireless home network. Talk about good reception: these radios can pull in any of 10,000 Internet radio stations from all over the world, without a single pop of static. Read the full article.

Hey Dave! Great hanging out with ya last week…you remember me the giant apelike man who cam out with sissyman riegert. Anyway, it is funny that you posted this link because I just happen to have a radio show that streams over the internet.
It runs from 7-9 (Your time) on Fridays. This may be a wee bit early for a drinking man like yourself, but if you find your bloodshot eyes open at that time give a listen. Being the jackass that I am, I dont have the site address; but just enter WRFL Lexington into any search engine and proceed from there…I think you will like most of the stuff I’m playing. And if you don’t, you can call me and berate me for my shortcomings.
Feel free to contact me through myspace..or whatever…I assume this is the best way to contact you on this here site?
Cheers,
Mike
