Just discovered spinner.com:
On the downside, they've got little commercials that will drive you
crazy. Although they don't last long. HOWEVER, on the upside, they've got
a techno channel, and they just played Kooky Scientist, Heiko Laux, and
right now they're playing Drexciya. I was fairly surprised actually that
the techno channel played real techno!

And now, some French post-structuralist thoughts for the Y2K that never
happened (written circa 1992):
"All thoughts are going underground in cautious anticipation of the
year 2000. They can already scent the terror of the year 2000. They are
instinctively adopting the solution of those cryogenized individuals plunged
into liquid nitrogen until the means can be found to enable them to survive.
"These societies, these generation which no longer expect anything from
some future 'coming', and have less and less confidence in history, which
dig in behind their futuristic technologies, behind their stores of
information where time is at last wiped out by pure circulation, will
perhaps never reawaken. But they do not know that. The year 2000 will not
perhaps take place. But they do now know that." --Jean Baudrillard,
"Pataphysics of the Year 2000"
(from The Illusion of the End)
