NASA launches new internet radio station 'Third Rock'



http://www.thirdrockradio.net/




From the website : " While NASA is synonymous with the exploration of space, technology, and science education, THIRD ROCK, which is focused on NASA and the great things going on there every day, is all about the exploration of New Rock.
-----
On THIRD ROCK, you’ll hear New Rock of all kinds, including a whole galaxy full of new music that seems to go largely unexplored by ordinary radio. Just like a healthy scientific curiosity leads to great discoveries in technology, a good musical curiosity is constantly leading us to great New Rock, which we will immediately share with you! "



I've already heard, NIN, Bon Iver, The Kills, Faith No More, and M.Ward. and I've also heard a few tunes I'm not familiar with. Hopefully they'll have a playlist up soon. It's worth a listen an it's 24/7. Enjoy!

Not a big NIN fan, but I'm glad they're branching out I guess. Appealing to youth, good move! Shoe Horn Dec 2011 #9

Maybe Lyoness was right, in one respect at least, NASA has seen better days.
Not that this new radio station isn't awesome, just, hard to compete with this:
