It's a site that gathers the best of the unknown/unsigned music acts from around the world and places them alongside some of the best-known Indie artists in the world. On a single "station"/pod you could conceivably hear:
Isenho (a great, unknown band from Australia)
Teenage Fanclub
Richard Thompson
Hop On Pop
Frank Black
Steve Ison (great underground, still-unknown UK songwriter)
Aimee Mann
Daniel Johnston
Invisible Inc. (US retro pop act with beautiful harmonies)
Dinosaur Jr.
Via Audio (Boston Indie force that SHOULD be on the tip of all y'all's brains)
Killing Joke
Mekons
In THAT order!
Yes, Hop On Pop is a part of the site, but there are a LOT of other great reasons to go check it out. A helluva lot of great music over there and Scott is doing a helluva job to try to bring the unknowns over there the attention they deserve. Acts are extended invitations based upon the strength of their SONGWRITING, because the SONG is the thing over there.
I'm damn proud to be a part of it.

Hope you don't view this as street teaming, because I'm not really getting anything from this post (unless you specifically click to play my songs and send us up the online charts there). But you will – get smething fro it, that is.
Let me know what you think.
