.. "i know it's only rock 'n roll but i like it." - the stones
.. just like kcrw, sounds eclectic: rock (indie. post punk. britpop. shoegaze. experimental. post-rock. etc... subgenres are lame). downtempo. trip-hop. electro. "indietronic" aka house made for hipsters (and stop calling it "nu rave"). drum 'n bass (some... not as much anymore). minimal techno. idm. tech house [but i'm mainly a sucker for all things electronic (and it's not 'electronica')- synths. minimal. quirky. groovy. choppy. dirty. grimey beats. rock 'n roll that sounds distorted. waaah waaah. scuzzy & fuzzy. and like guitars dripping with sex and oozing drugs.] //
