What are some underground radio stations I should listen to? Looking for stuff off the beaten path, I have been around the block a few times.

@liaizon not super underground, but maybe KCRW Eclectic24 when you want variety. sometimes it's meh, sometimes you find an amazing new song/artist like 5 times an hour. great music director.
@exitonly I use to live with them :)
@liaizon I would suggest https://pinguinradio.com - it's a Dutch station which grew from the ashes of a previous alternative/indie station from the 1990s. There are a number of different themed streams, rarely any DJs talking but the large and eclectic playlists are all human-curated.
@liaizon currently down, but diy autonomous radio from thessaloniki, GR : https://www.1431am.org/
(Punk/music/political)
and another diy radio fron heraklion, GR : https://rastapank.gr/

William has also been around the sun a few times, and his Main Mix is only one of the channels.
@liaizon The OG @wmfu@c.im is still around.

@liaizon not sure if it quite fits the bill, but #pastagang has a radio stream: https://radio.nudel.cc/public/pastacast
@SpuCodes ironically this was the first station I had been listening to in my new radio player, and was thinking about how there are probably many such weird project radio stations I didn't know about
@liaizon Monday nights from 10pm to 1am Texas time is the Genetic Memory radio show broadcasting live on KTRU from the campus of Rice University in Houston.
I’ve been listening to the Genetic Memory show for over 30+ years. Where I first heard the sounds of: Hafler Trio, Zoviet France, Throbbing Gristle, NON, Nurse With Wound and the like:

@exquisitecorp @liaizon @oppen nice to see WPRB make your list (a very important station for me growing up) ... I think that means https://wfmu.org/ might fit? Protip: their archives extend out into ♾️
@ink yes, i listen to wfmu (i live in nyc most of the year)! a few friends / collaborators of mine are dj's there:
Saltzshaker / Discobog

nat roe https://wfmu.org/playlists/NR
@exquisitecorp nice thanks for those pointers -- I've always been curious how people get to DJ there. I love how different all the shows are, and how you can catch up with them at any time. My only real life connection there is that I was highschool friends with HobokenJack who pops into different shows from time to time.
@exquisitecorp @liaizon @oppen also, I forget who shared this on here but here is a fun guide for US https://www.ldial.org/
@exquisitecorp thank you this is 100% what I wanted
@liaizon - I don't know that its underground per se, but I enjoy @somafm ( https://soma.fm ).
Listener supported internet radio with actual DJs creating the playlists. Multiple channels and genres. I'm partial to DefCon Radio and Thistle Radio.
@tomjennings @tinker @somafm lol "After refusing to air sounds of whales mixed in with crappy music during his college radio station apprenticeship, he quit and started DI.FM"
