Cracklin' Radio - Stimulating Your Ears, As Well As Your Mind...

About Me

Cracklin' Radio is a station that features great music, mainly from the original vinyl records. It was born out of my obsession for record collecting and my general frustration with the state of mainstream radio and music. If you are interested, go visit it now. I'm sure that there will be something you enjoy. I will also play your band if I like them. I just ask that you listen to my station first so you get an idea of my tastes and what is played; that way you'll know if sending me promotional material is worth your time. If you like what you hear, I also have a live show on a Canadian station called LG73 (http://www.lg73.com) - Vinyl Casserole, 12:00-3:00 p.m. PT/3:00-6:00 p.m. ET every Sunday. I do check out all friends requests I receive. I work in an industry that makes me rather familiar with African fraud schemes, so don't even try it. Also, if you are just trying to promote your porno site, don't bother either. I will also ignore any requests if the person is under 18 (even if you are a fan of the station). If I decide to add you, keep in mind that you will receive a number of bulletins about the station, many encouraging you to listen.

What happened to the Free Music Report?

The Free Music Report has been an invaluable asset to Cracklin' Radio.  Since last year I have been receiving a monthly list of artists who want to promote their CD's, and are willing to send out...

Discombobulated

To start off with - why isn't there a mood category for discombobulated?  That's the only way I can really describe myself when I start getting this tired.  It's a good tired, though.  ...
