SHOUTcast Radio features over 32,000 radio stations from around the world and offers free broadcasting tools to set-up your own radio station.

In 2009 there were over 1,200 tunes submitted to SXSW. I’ve made it through about 1/3 of them. Most haven’t caught my fancy, but a few (4) have. Catchy enough for me to rate them 3 stars or better. At this rate about 1% will make it into the “make sure we listen to more” list.
