NASA’s Indie Rock Radio Station. No, Really.
Naturally, it’s called Third Rock and it concentrates in the area of alternative/new rock/indie. From Audio4Cast
They’re calling it “America’s Space Station” and it’s a custom-produced Internet music radio station that is crafted specifically to speak the language of tech-savvy young adults.
“NASA constantly is looking for new and innovative ways to engage the public and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers,” said David Weaver, Office of Communications at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “We have led the way in innovative uses of new media and this is another example of how the agency is taking advantage of these important communication tools.” The station will be operated at no cost to the government by the Space Act Agreement. Houston based RFC Media is collaborating on the execution.
I like it. When I clicked on for the first time, I heard Silverchair, Roy Lamontange and Cage the Elephant. Give it a listen.
