Jango.com is one of the biggest online streaming music sites in the world.  It’s pretty much like Pandora but with a more social networking aspect to it. Electron Love Theory recently launched a promotional campaign on the site.  In less than a week,  Electron Love Theory’s U2 Electronic Tribute: Blue Sky Vertigo— feat. fourteen extraordinary …

Speaking of awesome indie broadcasts, Annette Conlon’s NetteRadio has been on the air in streaming and/ or podcast form since 2001.  Her mission— to push independent female artists and female fronted bands.  Based in LA, Annette plays music in pretty much every genre.  From artists from all over the world.  Very cool indeed.

Face the facts.  There are a lot of lame podcasts out there.  Doing it right takes time, energy, talent and some serious dedication. Coverville, a podcast that focuses on the best cover songs in the world, does it right.  Brian Ibbott, the man behind the microphone, has been making this show happen for a very …
