RootDown FM - Independent Internet Radio
A little come back just to talk you about RootDown.fm
Some of you met them in their previous format "Etherbeat.com", they were an independent alternative internet radio station, streaming live 24/7, no pub, no commercial tubes, not even mainstream success if not chosen fully independently.
What do they do? Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop, Soul, Latin, Reggae, Afrobeat... If there is an incredible Brazilian little group editing with a local label, they might find them...
They are a little jewel, really.
Anyways just trying to be perfect :-), they tried the adventure purely for FREE, and managed to survive just upon listeners donations for a while.
They were really very good but Public we are not so used to paying for good stuff which is just available for free, so they failed (financially).
The good news? they are back under:
http://www.rootdownfm.com
We do engage now through subscription, $7,5/month and you can give it a try for a free trial of 3 days.
I'm a member again and they are still as good as before, but they are still small to survive with their business model.
I believe it is possible, do you?

Je pense que tu seras très bien pour faire la promotion du 'projet Autoroute'...;) j'aime beaucoup l' idée première de fonctionner sur donation, mais cela demande à l'auditeur de réfléchir à la 'valeur des choses', oulala ca fait beaucoup! Bon courage à eux!
