Hi,I am devising a brand new Lounge Music Internet station. As both a long time tiki-phile and veteran creator of syndicated radio shows,I am looking for some input.

I'm interested in some feedback on A) would you listen to a 24/7 station B) What kind of music do you want to hear. C) What kind of entertainment features would you prefer? I realize and respect there are already streams and pod-casts which provide shows. The biggest difference is this is not a once a week program or pod-cast. The plan is for a 24/7 Internet radio station, we have plans to create an app for mobile listening and other
goodies.

I have several thoughts on the format. 1) A Pure tiki/exotica/surf station. Lots of tiki talk/features.

Or 2) A blend of current & classic Tiki/Exotic/Surf bands,plus spy-fi, some 70's cocktail jazz, soul, & soundtrack music. Avoiding the computerized Pandora style Music Genome system which becomes all too predictable. Features on tiki lifestyle, music genres, & travel all in a very entertaining way. Interviews with artists & a irreverent approach.

Most of all I would like to move a bit off the old "nod & wink" tongue in cheek lounge lizard approach to this incredible music and lifestyle.

I would like to create a community on the station that is more than background music for a backyard wing ding . Your thoughts are kindly appreciated!
