no love for ned ///

No Love for Ned is an awesome internet radio show out of Chapel Hill, NC hosted by Ned. Ned has been putting this thing on for eight years--pretty impressive! It is awesome for two reasons. First, like Chapel Hill, the radio show is home to unpretentious indie rock. Second, Ned is cool about playing music that you send him.

If you think your music fits his format, send your music material or links to:
ned@noloveforned.com

You can catch a new show on Mondays or check out the archives:

kim deal /// not my job

Bill St. James and his Flashback corporate media machine can suck it.

Here's a flashback of my own. Tonight, we're flashingback all the way to 2009.
Try if you can to remember all the way back to 2009 and all the stupid kitschy crap associated with that year...

Yep. Pretty unexciting.

Here is something that was exciting from 2009.
It was Kim Deal on the NPR show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

If you happened to have miss it, here is your chance to redeem yourself.
I <3 Kim Deal

Conspiracy Theory 1 /// Pandora

I understand that the whole idea of pandora is there are no asshole dj's, tastemakers, or pay per play deals to interfere with the music selection. The song selection is supposed to be random as all hell, right?

So, I select the "alternative/ indie rock" station from time to time. Once, I heard 4 Arctic Monkey songs within an hour. More recently, it played 5 death cab songs within an hour and 1/2. It seems to me that groups of songs at any given time period seems to go together. (sometimes you hear a lot of 90's, a lot of electro, etc.)

My conspiracy theory is that pandora either uses dj's, or more likely dj databases. That is to say, for a time period they will pull songs from collection A, then switch to collection B and so forth. All i know is that some where in there, some one has a huge hard-on for Arctic Monkeys.
