Just wanted to say hello and mention my 80s New-Wave/Alternative station - Flashback Alternatives (www.flashbackalternatives.com).
Playing classic, rare, and deep cuts from your favorite 80s artists, as well those 80s artists you may have overlooked or totally forgot about.
We also toss in current synthpop/alternative acts that have an 80s sound/feel to them.
We are listed on iTunes, Windowsmedia.com (where we are currently a featured station), as well as Winamp, and Shoutcast.
Streams are available in 64kb and 32kb mp3, and 64kb and 20kb WMA formats. A 128kb WMA stream will be available shortly.
Be sure to check out our 16,400 track online library with our automated real time request system.
Thanks!
Ed

COOL DJ ED!! Way to kept the 80's Alive.
I am thinking of getting the XM Radio system for my husband for Xmas, so we can pick up the 80's stations.
Does anyone else have this, and what do they think of it?? I just found out about the whole thing in the last week or so.

ISIS--have you found any XM radio systems? If you do I would like some prices on them if you look for any on the internet or what not. Do you know anyone that has one of these. I get the 80s music channel through my cable and I listen to it a lot. Could you use that type of radio in your car????

Everyone told me you can get them everywhere, including Wal-Mart and Best Buy. Someone told me they cost around $100, and then you pay every month for the service.
But, I am sure as with everything, there are different versions, and better qualities of stuff, so I am going to be checking more in to it myself here soon.

along with XM there is a service called Sirrus. The little bit I've looked into it seems like Sirrus gives you the most bang for your buck.

Thanks for the info Isis and Sam!!!!!!! What a great gift idea.

Sirrus is where Howard Stern is going, so I'm gonna have to check that out...I need my Stern fix to start the work day.

I saw an advertisement for that Sirrus last night at Radio Shack, saying it was available through dish network. Boy are they unsensored or something??? I wonder how much money he is getting for that?
