RAIN 6/24: Westergren says Pandora business model "broken" by royalties ·Jun 24, 12:09 PM
EVERYDAY IS JULY 4 AT RADIO GEORGE: Internet radio station Radio George has added a new channel to its line-up: America’s Station. The station plays only patriotic tunes—tracks ranging from the standard anthems and military band marches to pro-America songs from Neil Diamond and Frank Sinatra. While the Radio George website is roughly designed, the media player itself is surprisingly slick. The glossy black background and sliding album art are similar to the iPhone interface. When the mouse is not hovering over the player, the control panels fade away leaving only the large album art. Interestingly (or perhaps annoyingly), the song skipping capability is limited: skipping backwards only allows you to view previously played songs (not actually listen to them), and if you skip forward too many times you’ll be scolded by the message: “You’re gonna have to listen to some of them…” We’re not sure how long you have to wait until this punishment is lifted, but it certainly is an unusual hitch in an otherwise enjoyable interface. Radio George also features dozens of jazz and oldies channels, and promises talk radio soon.
