The concept of "internet radio" was really big a few years ago during the Napster-era, with independent and corporate players streaming music via the web. For all the hype, they were basically just like regular radio stations, except that the music selection was often broader and more eclectic. Canadian blogger Steven Garrity has a different concept for doing radio on the web. Acts of Volition Radio is more like a radio show, featuring 5-10 songs along with personal commentary on the selections. Steven recently released Session 7 and I couldn't resist downloading it -- it features Jeff Buckley's amazing take on Cohen's "Hallelujah." In looking over the past sessions, I'm impressed with the song selection on each one, and I plan on following this series from now on.
