Now they make podcasts and Internet radio stations. That's where you go today if you want to hear good music instead of the same forty songs in a row over and over.

Case in point, one of the Internet stations I listen to, and donate to when I have the money to do so: http://www.sanctuaryradio.com/ - plays gothy, industrial, EBM, darkwave, new-wave music. Some new, some retro-80's. You won't get a station like that on the FM dial - Clear Channel doesn't think there's money in playing good music, or catering to the goth subculture. Might be your kind of music, might not, but it's an example of what's out there.
