Even More Eclecticism on OlioRadio

It's the monthly update (new tracks on a new playlist) of OlioRadio. Yes, your fave spot to hear the widest Variety of sound on Earth has added recordings fresh in the shops, & some fresh from decades ago.
And whose tracks were added, you ask? Tracks from these fine Artistes: Bauhaus - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - Cabaret Voltaire - Carissa's Wierd - Corruption Inc. - Dan Laurin, Hidemi Suzuki and Masaaki Suzuki - Delphic - Elysian Singers - Gustave Berl Resky - Hank Penny with Jaye P. Morgan - Hoodoo Gurus - Iggy Pop - Ilmar Lapinsch - Johnny Nash - Kabyzdoh Obtruhamchi - London Philharmonic Orchestra and David Parry - matt pond PA - Minus the Bear - New Lime - of Montreal - Oli Silk - Otis Redding - Paul Revere and the Raiders - Pavement - Ramiro Gallo Quinteto - Ric Flair - Sheffields - Silvia Gomez - St. Petersburg RTV Symphony Orchestra - Ted Nugent - The All-Star Trio - The Dead Milkmen - Tim Buckley - Treva Whateva - and Word...plus a Bunch of new Station IDs.
If you notice some changes on Live365's website, it's because they did that every-5-to-8-year-new-site-design thing. ;-) If you have any problems getting the player to work, do the classic old fix: clear your browser Cache & Cookies, close the browser, then re-open the browser. All should come clear...yeah. right.
As always, check out the complete playlist at http://olioradio.net/playlist.html. And listen for free from http://www.live365.com/stations/claren44. NOTE: minimize that page/tab to keep listening; if you close that page, the station cuts off. No, I don't care for it either, but right now that's the only way Free Listeners can keep on listening. VIP Listeners have no changes in how you access/play stations. Sigh...

I think he expressed himself absolutely clearly. They (& many others in the Upper Corporate World) are the Aristocrats: we lot are the Serfs. I got his meaning immediately.
