Laura Seabrook's Ramblings

• Darkerradio: Gothic – Rock – Darkwave – EBM – Electro – Synthpop – Industrial – Indie – Alternative;
• Dark Ambient Radio: The space, the space of it all!;
• Gothville Radio: Cheeky Belgium station;
• This is Corrosion: (no relation) and
• Tormented: steaming dark electronic music since 1998.

Of course I also love Doomed at Soma FM, but the stations above have a more focussed, insanely driven sound. Sometimes I just need light ambient, or relaxation/meditation music, but other times I just need something DARK and all consuming.

I love the fact that many German bands sing in English. Of course, Raamstein comments on this as well.

Just read this post referencing this. Am listening to it right now.

There seem to be heaps of other fan broadcasts as well:

Superman: The Last Son of Krypton
Batman: The Ace of Detectives
Wonder Woman: Champion of Themyscira
Supergirl: Lost Daughter of Krypton
Catwoman: Queen of Thieves
Martian Manhunter: Strange Visitor
Imperium (Earth-P Crossover I)
Vindicatum (Earth-P Crossover II)
Ex Tempus (Earth-P Crossover III)
Star Trek: Defiant
Star Wars: Blue Harvest
James Bond: To The End
Indiana Jones and the Well of Life

Without a doubt - Soma FM. It listen often to: Lush; Space Station Soma 9the first place I ever heard the MikeG Dune Mix);  Digitalis; Secret Agent and Doomed. And I am seriously considering sending them a donation, or buying a T-Shirt.

As demonstrated by my selecting this:

Actually I've been listening to Darknation radio. Also, other interesting dark stuff at Red Emprez - Caress Me Clip and NTRSN feat. Bleiburg - No more heroes.

I suspect it might be lack of sleep, so I'm off to bed.

I've been listening to these online lately:

There's something just a little surreal about listening to jazzy suggestive stuff and hearing random quotes from James Bond and other films! Of course on Space Station they repeat a certain track and you hear "The Spice extends life..."    What would Frank Herbert think?

I happened in be looking a for a Burning man Internet Radio channel. Not that I'm at Burning man or anything, but I was briefly in Second Life checking out Burning Life (their version of Burning Man and only there for two more days) and tried the background music. Odd, but I had no idea what it was.

However, after a search I found Soma FM. Not what I was looking for, but lots of laid back mood music, yea. I mean, I have the bandwidth, why not use it?

While I mention it, here's some other channels I've been listening to  on the net via winamp:

• D I G I T A L L Y - I M P O R T E D - Chillout - ambient psy chillout;
• Triple J - Australia's youth radio;
• Frozen Beats - A mellow mix of trip hop downtempo acid jazz and smooth sound;
• Pagan Radio Network ;
• Batcave Redemption Radio - Gothic, Industrial, Darkwave, Post-Punk, New Wave, & Electro;
• BeirutNights.com - mostly 80s stuff, like versions of ABBA in German;
• 1980s.FM - Songs you missed from the 80s with Chat & Automated Requests; and
• radio.XES - Gothic, Darkwave & Electro

I prefer stuff that sits in the background while I do other stuff on the PC. Do you have any suggestions or favourites with Internet radio?
