Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

"local" radio still exists, and in many ways it's better than ever because you can hear it from anywhere!

Go to any internet radio streaming service and search for "independent" or "university" and you'll get tons of super cool unusual commercial-free stations from around the world.

Check out radio garden. Pretty much any radio station with web access on earth is available in one place.

The Current is Minnesota Public Radio's music station, and they are phenomenal. I have found so many great bands and artists listening to them.

edit: just today, they played Janelle Monae, IDLES, LCD Soundsystem, Bob Dylan, Daft Punk, Silversun Pickups, Yard Act, and Caroline Polachek.

Indie 102.3 if you're in Denver/The Front Range.

But that's the point, you DON'T have to be in Denver to hear Denver radio!
