I've been listening to high-rate MP3 Shoutcasts a lot lately.  They're
almost all 56 or 112 or 128 Kbps streams, so the sound quality is rad.

I listened to BeNOW (@ 128 Kbps, baby) all day long at work yesterday ... they
play a *great* mixed selection that doesn't repeat (well, at least not for a
really long time, from what I can tell ... ).  Go to http://www.BeNOW.ORG/
and check it out.  Here's the last few tracks I've heard on it, as we speak:

Richard H. Kirk - Virtual State                03 - come (8.01)
Richard H. Kirk - Virtual State                02 - frequency band (6.25)
Plastikman - Musik                        01 - konception (8.11)
Plastikman - Recycled Plastik                03 - Spaz (7.40)
Pete Namlook - 4Voice                        06 - Move (5.54)
Leftfield - Leftism                        07 - Space Shanty (7.14)
Joey Beltram - Places                        08 - Oval (5.06)
Joey Beltram - Places                        05 - Metro (3.49)
Dave Angel - Tales Of The Unexpected        03 - Timeless (6.08)
Hardfloor - Funalogue                        02 - Roar (4.48)
Secret Life Of Trance 3 CD1                04 - Rising High Collective - Tangled
                                        In My Thoughts (Hardfloor Mix) (6.56)
Hardfloor - Respect                        03 - Absestos in Obsterics (8.17)
Hardfloor - Respect                        07 - Mahogany Roots (6.58)
Goa - Psychedelic Flashbacks 2 CD4        03 - Hyperreal Interface - Da Drum
Goa - Psychedelic Flashbacks 2 CD3        08 - Pybus - Time Gate (3.49)
Goa - Psychedelic Flashbacks 2 CD3        07 - Ziontek - The Chase (5.48)
Goa - Psychedelic Flashbacks 2 CD2        07 - Sporum - Spiral Chant (8.48)

Admittedly, a lot of the stuff they play isn't exactly released-yesterday
stuff, but it's still good just the same.  And it beats feeding CDs that I'm
already bored with into the computer, much less the hopelessness of the radio.
And there's even IDM content (Kirk, Plastikman, Namlook, Beltram, Angel, etc.)
to boot.  I <*HEART*> my phatpipe ...

If anyone else has any IDM-oriented Shoutcasts/Icecasts they know of, speak up!
