| Welcome
to Lobetoxy.com!
Lobetoxy.com is a fresh and fun
way to discover new music. Our streaming audio channel format
is similar to that of an airline audio channel. Let Lobetoxy.com
be your mixed tape jukebox. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some music
that you may or may not have heard before.
Pick one of our channels, each having a set
of songs you can listen to in streaming audio. WARNING: you will
need Macromedia
Flash to hear them! It’s no big deal. If the little box pops
up and tells you that it needs to be installed, just say ‘OK.’
Sorry, but Flash is all we support right now.
So, back to what matters. Music. The idea
is to pick your channel, sit back, and listen. You will hear,
in our opinion, some of the best music out there today. We feature
music that is new. Music that is making waves. Music that matters.
Music for the mainstrean listener that is tired of mainstream.
And as much as we love the guys in “High Fidelity” we don’t necessarily
want to be them. We’re not really cutting edge. We’re more nicking
edge. We want you to be able to find the music we feature. But,
you won’t find most of it on the radio. We tend to like bands
that don’t sound like Justin Timberlake, Creed, or Evanescence.
Actually most of us here have never really heard Evanescence,
but we know they won a Grammy. We probably don’t like them. Ok,
so we are a bit like the guys in "High Fidelity."
Seriously, the truth is we don’t like most
artists that are on the radio because we don't feel that they
are the best that music has to offer. Lobetoxy.com promotes
music that we think should be heard, not what corporate radio
programmers think they should force down your throat. So now that
you know this, stop reading and go enjoy the music!
Lobetoxy.com Mission
Over the years we have found that there are
tons of resources on the web for buying music, reading reviews,
news, etc. But, we couldn’t find anyone out there that had really
made the effort to think about music in a completely objective
manner, without being motivated by sales, partnerships, contracts,
etc. No one was introducing music to people for the sole purpose
of doing it because they thought it was great music. Like any
business, most websites are driven by some sort of revenue structure
and, thus, inherently fall into the standard corporate music trap
– promote what the people that give you money want you to promote.
Not Lobetoxy.com. Our intent is
to offer a fresh and fun way to discover artists that are making
waves in music today, without the added burden of trying to sell
something to our audience. The artists on Lobetoxy.com
typically aren’t those that you’ll hear on the radio or see on
MTV. Instead, they are artists that are making the music they
want to make. They’re creative, they’re talented, and they are
the kind of artists that inspire us here at Lobetoxy.com
every day. At its essence, it is this inspiration that gave birth
to Lobetoxy.com.
