Future Perfect Radio has some big changes in store!

We're thrilled to announce that on June 14, Future Perfect Radio will get a major facelift with plenty of new features in tow! What you see above is a sneak peek of the new homepage, which offers a smaller footprint and should load tons faster than the current FPR site.

In addition to the cosmetic changes, you'll be able to find new channels by searching for artists and keywords! That means, for example, you'll easily be able to find all the Future Perfect Radio channels playing The Decemberists! We've also added lots of ways to interact with social networks like Facebook through FPR and you'll be able to build your own channels!

All these changes are set to take place on Monday, June 14, so be sure to stop by!

(Also, if you use an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, you can listen to Future Perfect Radio on the go with the free AccuRadio app, which will receive a MAJOR update later this week with cover flow, search and lots of other great features!)

Lollapalooza on Future Perfect Radio!

So, let's say you're too far away from Chicago come August 7. Or maybe that ticket price is just too much for your wallet? Perhaps the thought of ambling around all day in Chicago's oppressive heat, with Chicago's oppressive crowds, really turns your stomach--no matter what band is playing. Or maybe you just can't wait for August to come?

Whatever the case, Future Perfect Radio is doing its part to bring you a little slice of Lollapalooza 2009 to you, right here, right now. We've added a Lollapalooza channel to our free web radio line-up, featuring all the great bands set to perform at this year's Chicago festival. You can listen to them all, whenever you want, wherever you want.

The Fate of '08 Decided!

A big "Thank you!" to all who participated in Future Perfect Radio's decision on the fate of our "Best of '08" channels. Without further delay, here is your decision:

The "Best of 2008" channel will continue to exist, but will not be present on the FPR homepage. To access the channel from now on, you must find it in the "Other Channels" section in the player. Too many people expressed interest in seeing the channel survive, and it would be nice to save the music in such a channel as an archive of what 2008 was. However, to make room for new channels, we'll be removing the link from the homepage by the end of the week.

The "Pitchforks' Top 100 Tracks of 2008" channel will be dismantled by the end of the week. We hope to do similar channels like this in the future, but not enough people came to back this particular one. Sorry!

The Fate of 2008

As we march steadily into 2009, we must bid goodbye to much of the music that filled us with so much joy in 2008. At the end of February, Future Perfect Radio's "Best of 2008" and "Pitchfork's Top 100 Tracks of 2008" channels will be dismantled.

However, we'd like to get our listeners' opinions on this. Should these channels be removed completely at the end of February, or would you like them to be saved as a record of what made 2008 great?
