LOL! Yeah… It’s okay, we’ve all been there at one time or another.
I had just discovered soma fm in the fall of 2000 as I’d hit on listening to radio stations from around the world, and I used the old MIT List of Radio Stations on the Internet (now rebranded as radio-locator.com) to find stations that offered streams.
It was an epiphany that there were stations that ONLY were on the web as I was mostly hunting down terrestrial broadcast stations (one of my faves at the time was a New Zealand student station - Radio-active 88.6 - it still exists!) and once I’d found a mac version of Winamp that opened .pls links, I was off and running.
It was a heady time to be there as it all unfolded. The sense of discvovery was sharp… more than it is now, that’s for sure.
90’s? You listening via a time warp? Station went online in 2000.
Or are you talking about Rusty’s micro-FM station that he ran from his basement in '99.
Did it? Man, my memory must be a bit fuzzy…
