Blog Radio
What if there was a radio station, a licensed legal station that paid royalties, that featured only music that had been recently blogged?
Where the DJs are us, the music bloggers who love music and talk about it incessantly on our blogs. And what if you could read the posts while listening to the songs that the posts are about?
And what if you could chat with other listeners about the music that's being played?
No more what ifs, because it's here.
Hype Radio rocks. Anthony has put together a great proof of concept, and then some. Looking fwd to advanced features.
I could also see the archived playlists becoming super-valuable to college radio, etc.
(don't see AVC in the blog list-- will have to submit it...)

What if blogtheque did a Take Away Show of the Shins?
What if it was right here?
That said, Hype Machine is already an unbelievable service, the radio is going to make it ridiculous.

This is great news. I think it is a wise decision on Hype Machine's part to legalize blog mp3 broadcasts.

In other news, Internet radio is still dead.
