A few Los Fastidios MP3s can be found at their record label legally and for free, http://www.madbutcher.de/MP3.55.0.html - on the third page.

No offense but, well, the stream is kind of shitty, I was constantly buffering the stream and never got to actually hear any music. Maybe it's because I'm in the US...

Cheers, updated first post list. Still downloading.

I was thinking about expanding on the current operation, instead of two 4 hour slots, expand to 9 hours a day (expect Sunday) and break it down to 3x3 slots, creating a new slot for paying a different genre, I was thinking along the lines of Acid, House, Techno etc

What do you think?

LOL ok

Well if thats teh kinda shit that the people want, let em av it.

Suggest some bands/people to download and ill get em on.

Cheers,

[Rawthentic]

What kind of "shit" you are referring to? Thats ignorant stupidity. In the US and elsewhere, hip hop is the expression and voice of the Black and Latino ghettoes, so I suggest you keep your ignorance to yourself.

Do you ever stop and think... "I'm an idiot" ?

Why does my personal taste in music have to reflect the expression and voice of the black and latino ghettoes?

Pull your head out of your arse mate

[Rawthentic]

Because you shove off hip hop as crap, which is simply your un-asked for opinion.

I suggest you go to where I live, and say the shit you are saying now. This is what would be in store for you (no kidding):

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w236/militante_08/latin04.jpg
and your opinion was asked for?

It is crap, to me, because it's not to my personal taste, do you not allow people to have personal choice, tastes and opinions?

This is the music section of a forum, surely the correct place for peoples opinions on music?

Please go away and get a life.

[Rawthentic]

It was a response to your dumbfounded opinion that, "does anyone listen to that crap?", when obviously people do.

That would be classed as humour; most people have a sense of it.

You don’t have to take everything so literally and get offended.

Also it isnt an opinion, its a question, it has a question mark after it.

[Rawthentic]

Very well.

[farleft]

Updated original post.

Keep the suggestions coming.

[Black Cross]

I didn't see aerosmith on that list. or...

Van Halen
Sly and the family Stone (if anyone here listens to that)
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Creedence Clearwater Revival
The Who
Doobie Brothers
Simon and Garfunkle
Jimi Hendrix
ZZ Top
The Beatles
Allman brothers
Steeley Dan
.... I can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

[Invader Zim]

I dont know if I really have a favourite band or artist. The band kost repeatedly come back to are the manics (and have been for nearly a decade). But at the moment the band I am listening to most are the Engineers.

KRS-One, 2pac, Aesop Rock, Blue Scholars, The Coup, dead prez, Jedi Mind Tricks, Kanye West, The Streets, Mos Def, and Public Enemy. For more fun, less political: Ludacris, Outkast, and Wyclef Jean.

[Never Give In]

Rammstein
The Unseen
Anti-Flag

Leftover Crack
The Vandals

I've only heard whats on myspace but if you could get songs by them up that would be crazy. "New Babylon" is a song most of the RevLeft community would really like. Other good ones are "McAllister's Hymn" , "Sweet Misery", and 'Cry for Help".

As for ladytron, unless I open the folder I couldnt name 1 track of theirs.

My personal tastes are Punk-Rock & Ska especially The Clash.

But this is Peoples Radio so alas if people want it, it goes in and on.

Fair enough if you like punk then Pitchshifter are amazing anything from the album (www.pitchshifter.com) it's the perfect fusion of punk and dance music. It's everything you wish The Prodigy would be.

[farleft]

Sorry for Peoples Radio being down for pretty much all of 11th July.

We had a technical error and the internet went down. Router problems, alas its been sorted now and we're back up and running.

When I studied at college, I was taught by the guitarist and the drummer from PWEI.

Also about the Cuban chill out guitar music, I just have a compliation called "Cafe Cubana" that's pretty cool.

Now that's a claim to fame. PWEI were amazing plus in my opinion the best Prodigy Album (Music for a gilted generation) featured them. I really like Bentley Rythm Ace too but they'll never be as good as PWEI.

[Kurt Crover]

B.R.A were good...Bentleys Gonna Sort You Out is a really good song... so yeah the guitarist Richard March was my main tutor, and the drummer Fuzz Townshend was always around. Rich was great, really funny and cool but Fuzz was a really egotistical prick.

Hello,

thanks for those suggestions.

I'd just like to add as I don't think i've mentioned it before that we really like hearing and playing unsigned bands, so if anyone is in a band or knows some awsome unsugned bands then please feel free to make me aware so we can check them out.

Thanks,

[farleft]

Peoples Radio has recorded some mini-clips as audio adverts for the following:


Now or Never! - Anarchist newspaper
SEA - Squatters Estate Agency
RevLeft - Left-wing online forum


If anyone has any others that are worth giving a shout feel free to suggest them.

[AnarchJim]

Acid Eyeliner (www.myspace.com/Acideyeliner)
Gyroscope
Kisschasey (though I don't like them much, but it's something different)
Six Pocket Thorey (www.myspace.com/sixpockettheory)
Ten Foot Pole
The Living End

Probably More but I can't think at the moment.

[Boriznov]

Gojira, Korn, Thanatology

[Edgar]

You gotta put some old school grunge in there: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Temple of the Dog, Screaming Trees, l7, Smashing Pumpkins, The Melvins.

Has anyone mentioned Phil Ochs yet? He's better and more red than Dylan ever was. Ryan Harvey and David Rovics are also good contemporary political folk artists.

Boys Next Door (later Birthday Party) (if you can find them, if you do pass some my way)
Go-Betweens
Hellcats
Last Words
Models
Psychosurgeons
Radio Birdman
Tactics
The Saints
Thought Criminals
X
/\->/\(um, fucked if I know how to spell it but three arrows, the first up, then left then up again and it is pronounced by three clicks of the tongue.)

All are Australian punk bands from 1976-1985

[Bad Grrrl Agro]

I recomend Tish Hinojosa

songs like:
something in the rain
bandera del sol
