Music: My latest Slacker station

Slacker is an online music service that allows you to program your own stations for listening online for free or for downloading to an iPod-like device of their devising. My latest channel, The Golden Pals (I started building the line up from the Golden Palominos), is a pretty mixed bag of mostly outsiders, including the likes of Frank Zappa, Nico, Mike Oldfield, Bill Frisell, Björk, The Deviants, Steely Dan, John Cale, Brian Eno, Bryan Ferry, Captain Beefheart, Colosseum, David Bowie, Pearls Before Swine, Bill Laswell, Eugene Chadbourne, The Fugs, The Godz, Sun Ra, Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, Soft Machine, The Holy Modal Rounders, etc., to which, now that I think of it, I'll add Alex Chilton and Scott Walker.
