I have a problem listening to the radio. Stations would play the same radio rotation over and over, and they just didn’t change. I get really tired of listening to the same songs by the same artists over and over. I was starting to get so fed up with it all that I would begin listening to talk radio instead. Unfortunately, talk radio becomes so boring that I just end up turning the radio off.

I always crave to hear new music by new musicians. It’s important that I hear creativity and talent when I’m listening. I feel like the music industry ignores a lot of truly passionate, independent musicians. Every single time, artistic management agencies just go and pick more of the same to represent. Even music videos on TV just offer the same.

I found myself becoming really cynical about music. In fact, I realized that I hadn’t listened to any music for quite some time. I’d become so bitter towards the music industry that I didn’t want to hear anything on the radio that reminded me of that.

Finally, I figured out that my girlfriend was tired of my whining about the lack of music with creativity. Apparently she found one website she thought was really great after she went online and searched internet radio stations. One night we sat down at the computer together, and she showed me the IM Radio site.

On IM Radio, I found internet radio at its finest. Independent musicians, poets, and comedians have all found a home there. You see, the typical air play is not what you’ll find there; they have something completely different. Their playlist features talented artists that are up and coming. None of the comedians, poets, artists, or musicians on the site have sold out. All of the website’s material is really new, fresh, and exciting. As a true independent internet radio station, IM Radio features offerings that are completely away from the norm. On that website, you won’t run out of new, talented creatives to follow.

My girlfriend and I finally turned the computer off after several hours of listening. However, since then, we leave the computer on at the IM Radio site all the time. We are listening to it while we read, watch TV, or clean house. It’s become really easy to just kick back on the couch and let our minds wander, especially when we’ve become really entranced by the latest thing playing on that internet radio station. We’ve discovered that we are really inspired by some of the stuff they play, too. A lot of times I’ll be listening to the IM Radio airplay, and I’ll come up with a lot of amazing ideas.

You definitely need to check out IM Radio if you’ve become as cynical about radio as I was. You’ll find music, comedy, and poetry from artists that are still incredibly creative and full of talent; all while you listen to a whole new internet radio station. I’ve never found that their playlist seems stale; it changes all the time.
