Yep, I have several stations - bluegrass, Townes Van Zandt, Prine, Sturgill Simpson, Isbell, the Dead...

Also, J. Robinson turned me on to WDVX a few months ago  http://www.wdvx.com/ -Americana/Country/Bluegrass that has turned me on to tons of new music. 

Between those two and youtube, I haven't listened to regular radio or XM much the past couple years.  Probably should cancel that XM subscription...

I do make it a point to buy albums when I really like what I hear.  All this streaming stuff is great for the listener, but not so much for the artists who are making fractions of pennies per listen.  I go see shows when I can and buy t-shirts too, I figure that money is going pretty much straight to the musicians.

My omly Pandora station is ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) for anyone who doesn't know, but it is a great service.

I personally have discovered WKZE out of NY/CT Their tag is musical diversity. Great stuff. Blues, Bluegrass, country (old country), Folk, Salsa, New Orleans Jazz, etc. Every DJ plays something different. Give it a listen on a saturday. WKZE.com

Other than that I have an Ipod with 16gb of my music. It has about 5 days worth of music, and I have a diverse setlist. Classical, rock, blues, metal, you name it.....
