We are all quite sad that MI is no more, and must continue to voice our disgust to the powers that beeb. But in the meantime, how can we discover the gems and/or intelligent discussion MI offered us?

I listen to 'You Are Hear' on Resonance fm and by podcast. Magz Hall also organises gigs under this name. It's quite electronic in focus, but still varied.

The Wire's adventures in modern music on Resonance is great, but I can't listen on thursdays at the moment.

For indie with an edge I like Artrocker on Resonance (and the club).

John Kennedy late nights on xfm seems to be in it for the music, but its not exactly experimental.

Marvin suicide podcasts seek out freebie music on the internet - and discovers the odd 'booty' (sorry - the presenter intervenes in broad Norfolk accent)

Music Nerve.com podcasts often hit the mark.

I'm new to internet stations WFMU and borderline - any suggestions for good shows?

I also really enjoy the ecclectic enthusiasm of Upset The Rhythm as promoters in London.

What about other show/podcasts/events. I'm suffering Listen Again blues already! All suggestions will be followed up.

Re: Mixing It Replacements - Any Ideas?

adamhh, man,

On WFMU, The Stochastic Hit Parade is pretty cool: http://wfmu.org/playlists/HP ~ there's a BIG archive of shows on there too..

Also, I dunno if you've checked http://www.ubu.com/ but there's always summat interesting on there, innit.

Thanks for the tips - still working through them.

Tim -  Sonorama has a wonderful assortment on it, while the calibre of Kyle Gann intrigues me. Still haven't heard Non Pop, it's sat on the ipod, waiting. I don't know if its because I'm mac-based or just mentally-technically deficient, but I couldn't subscribe to Vital Weekly (just seem to get a page of code).

Kenny - Stochastic is a treat, nice to have track listings too. ubuweb - what a resource, I use it all the time, especially for film and video. A treasure.

Gabrielle - I make a point of not checking schedules on Resonance, so that most of the time I tune in I don't know what I'll hear. I like the random mix of shows and how that keeps me on my feet. Resonance is the antidote to the mechanised tyranny of  'selector' software.

Glad you like. Kyle's station is great - he may be ploughing a single furrow, but he ploughs it deep. The Vital Weekly feed isn't terribly well-explained, but you need to copy the following address  http://www.harmlog.nl/vitalfeed.asp into your podcast software (ignore the page of code - that's for your software to read). So in iTunes, eg, go to Advanced > Subscribe to podcast, then copy the address into the box and click OK. iTunes should do the rest for you. It's a bit of a mixed bag, extracts from some of this week's experimental releases, all played without comment. If anything catches your ear I think all the recordings are reviewed on the Vital Weekly site.

Hoorah!

No need for replacements now! Though I am very grateful for the advice folks, the hole in my radio week has been plugged:

BTW is anyone using last fm, I'm a recent convert to this site, but it seems to me we could all be learning a great deal from each others' playlists (probably more so than the mechanical selection the site itself will make)

my ID on last fm is the same as this one 'adamhh':

http://www.last.fm/user/adamhh/

There's also a 'mixing it' group on their too (still with links to to R3 at the moment!)

Plus mac osx users can download a widget which will show what your last fm friends have been listening to recently.

thanks for the tip tim

keep them coming

Ergo Phizmiz has a show on wfmu called the Phuj Phactory which has now become a regular of mine. Thanks King K, wfmu's got some supercalerfrajalisticexpeallidocious shows
