Yes, somebody made it while sitting in their mom's basement, using Angelfire. Now, behold the images of vintage Motley Crue flashing before your eyes. Want something else amazing? Click on the "Foxy Girls" link. See images of girls dressed as hair-metal groupies in a non-ironic fashion. This is what I wanted to be when I was 12. Seriously. As for music, this is what a classic rock station should be. Excellent mix from the 60s through the 80s, no nu-metal, no emo, just classic rock through butt rock/glam metal. PERFECT. This made my most recent trip to the Motherland bearable.

I love this station but on Sundays all I get here in Roaming Shores is static!!! What gives?read more

Visiting the station was a dream come true. One thing I've talked about doing for a while…read more I love how this is a student-led and-run radio station. I enjoyed seeing the layout of the spaces and the friendliness of each staff member, and I truly enjoyed the Latin music playing as we met. I was especially impressed with how volunteers and donations run this whole station!!! I highly suggest learning about your local college radio station. It's a genuinely enlightening and memorable experience.

That's a quote from a WCSB DJ during a midday shift. WCSB is somewhat like a guide to me when I make my annual visits to Cleveland each summer. It's something that my radio dial never wavers from in the car, except, maybe, when the high school kids take over and play Adam Levine, or the Indian trance music just becomes too much. But most of the time, the music on WCSB is a beautiful, eclectic but unknown mix of older and contemporary music, flanked by awkward PSAs and often college-aged DJ banter. More often than not, they're playing a gritty variety of obscure 60's/70's music, punk or garage rock that could not suit my drives through the city better. Anything from The Cramps to the original Spanish version of "Be My Baby." Something to compliment the rows of idle brick factories, abandoned apartment complexes, potholed streets, and forlorn, shirtless old men wandering the streets. I cherish these drives through Cleveland's gritty neighborhoods, and being able to stream this station while elsewhere only helps to remind me of what I really like about the city and why I continue to come back.

That caused me to look up iHeart Radio to see why they are such a big influence all over the country, and that's when I had a shocking realization. They are actually Clear Channel! They were found out to be the politically-motivated tool-of-the-state and so changed their name to something brand new to fool people. Same company that banned Rage Against The Machine during the 911 fallout. Wouldn't want to criticize the government. To be honest most of their stations here in Youngstown (and I've heard several), just play the same old tired Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift songs 24 7 anyway. Wasn't impressed at all. And it's worth remembering that some of those who work forces are the same that burn crosses.
