“The best of us must sometimes eat our words.” ― J.K. Rowling
Back on August 13, 2010 I wrote a blog post in which I was highly critical of the online radio station Radio Riel Dieselpunk. Looking back, I realize that I was wrong.
As the new owner of Dieselpunks.org I went searching for a replacement for our music player. The previous method of providing music was too costly in both time and money to maintain. In my research I checked out a variety of stations that I knew. When all was said and done I found that the perfect station was Radio Riel Dieselpunk.
Radio Riel Dieselpunk plays music commercial free 24/7. As they say at their web site, “Radio Riel Dieselpunk features music from 1920–1940, including Pop Standards, Big Band & Swing, Burlesque & Cabaret, and a dash of Film Noir soundtracks. Currently believed to be the world’s only Dieselpunk station.”
I would add that I’ve heard some electro-swing at times as well, which is certainly dieselpunk.
I was wrong about Radio Riel Dieselpunk. It's a great station and I highly recommend it.
Sometimes one just has to eat crow. Wouldn’t be so bad except for when the feathers get stuck between my teeth.
