Online radio: While terrestrial radio stations choke on corporate policies, automated playlists and buzz-killing commercial breaks, online radio stations are becoming a safe haven for anyone who just wants to hear some good music. One of the best is Los Angeles-based public radio station KCRW (www.kcrw.com). Its daily "Morning Becomes Eclectic" program, hosted by Nic Harcourt, never ceases to amaze, mixing everything from indie rock and world beat to classical and jazz. Where else can you hear the Arctic Monkeys, Johnny Cash and Bebel Gilberto back to back? Another great station, Cincinnati's WOXY FM (www.woxy.com), set up shop on the Internet after it was bumped off the air. Now it reaches a worldwide audience with an adventurous mix of alternative rock. San Francisco's contribution to the online radio market is SOMA FM (www.somafm.com), a listener-supported portal providing eight channels of mostly electronic-based music.
