I know this is off topic, but hey, it's my blog, right?!?:

WOXY.com is a fantastic radio station.  If anyone remembers when they were on the air in Ohio, as "97X, the future of rock & roll", you'll know who I'm talking about.  The music pouring out of WOXY is incredible.. and abundant.

After the radio station frequency was sold off, the original 97X (which I was streaming on the 'net for a while) went away for a bit.  The station was resurrected on the WOXY.com domain and has been streaming high-quality alternative rock & roll free to lucky listeners all over the Web.  They play new artists very frequently and the pulse of the "alternative" scene is well within their grasp... forget that, their feel for Damn Fine Music is impeccable!   There's even another stream they set up for older catalog music called WOXY Vintage.  Great, great older tunes when I'm in the mood to reminisce... or to discover older stuff I wish I'd have known about back when it was new.

 Well, I love this music stream, as you may see by now.  They have live DJ's from when the station was on the airwaves and they're all fantastic.  Seriously, go check out this rare gem of excellent music. NOW!

 Now for the reason I'm posting this... they need our help to stay online.  The switch to "user supported" status is underway and they're looking for subscribers.  I listen to this station very near all day, every day and I can't imagine going back to the way it was for me before I found WOXY!  To put together a similarly amazing variety of music while I work at this darn computer machine all day would be impossible.  I don't want this history-drenched beauty to fade away.

Please, please go check out their music streams to see what you think about it.  If you like it, SUBSCRIBE!!  These are some fantastic people who've worked very hard over the years to assemble the most incredible music collection I've ever seen.  What they've done for the indie/alternative rock scene should not be underestimated.

Well... short of begging some more, I think you get the idea.  WOXY.com rocks!  I don't want to live without it... I will, but I don't want to.  $10/month is so close to nothing for what I get out of this station...  listen to it for a few hours or a day, but sign up soon, before it's too late!!
