Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance. Dance to theradio.

I've always had a fascination with underground radio, pirate radio, and the DJ as the taste maker. The John Peel's of the airwaves are very important. They play records that others would not and turn a lot of people on to music that they wouldn't normally have heard. That's fantastic! With the internet, the underground music radio shows are more prevalent and easier to access than ever. Here's a couple that stand out to me.

1.

Hellcast- Hellcast is a biweekly broadcast that plays only the finest of underground metal. It's some fantastic stuff. An amazing selection of modern and classic underground metal. It's turned me on to some fantastic bands (Nox Illunis is fantastic).  I also like that the hosts adopt pseudonyms (Reaper and Eddie Satan). It gives the whole production a cheap, scummy, underground 1980's vibe. http://hellcast.hellsheadbangers.com/

Maximum Rock N Roll Radio- Say what you will about MRR, but they have some great fucking records. I like the format of this show. Having touring bands come on and pick out their favorite records from the MRR library is just a cool premise and it ends up with a lot of variety. I've heard garage, goth, crust, and straight up death metal on the show. It's cool to see what music bands are into.
