Polka Dot Radio: alt-folk, 1990's, indie pop

I used to run an Internet radio station at Live365 called Polka Dot Radio. I gave that up in 2008 and since then, I’ve gotten my fix for music sharing by creating playlists, first at 8tracks, and now at Spotify.

The original radio station had a tagline of alt-folk, 1990's, and indie pop, and for the most part, that is still a pretty good description of my musical taste. My current playlists are heavy on the alt-folk / indie pop / alternative sound, with a smattering of favorites from other decades peppered in there.

You can play all of my virtual mix tapes and get more details about them in the posts below. Or, just shuffle one of these two playlist:

Polka Dot Radio, which features about a day and a half of tunes and rotates new music in and out at the beginning of every month: Polka Dot Radio Classic, which combines a bunch of the actual playlists that I used on the original radio station.

NOTE: The playlists are embedded above for convenience, but I think you get the best listening experience from listening to them on “shuffle” at Spotify.

Happy listening! 🎶
