A long time ago the idea was proposed to start up a Destructoid Radio station online that would presumably play nothing but kick-ass commercial-free video game music 24/7 online. We're experimenting with a widget from Seeqpod to provide something like this today -- there's a little something in there for everyone, I think. Original game soundtracks, remixes, chiptunes, arrangements from all kinds of modern and retro games. We've also included material from notable game musicians like Dale North, The One Ups, and Dale North .... ok, ok, also The Minibosses, Video Games Live, Vertexguy, Koji Kondo, Hip Tanaka, DJ Pretzel, and a ton of others.
LAUNCH THE EXPERIMENT WIDGET THING NOW and let us know what you think in the comments below!

I know we're not like, good pals or even acquaintances. However, you bringing this radio station in at a time when I'm writing some big papers and need some nice instrumental music could come at NO BETTER TIME. Thanks.
Seems to be working fine on the Firefox 3 Beta and on Opera :)
I think theres a pretty good list. Scanning through right now I see a lot of games and musical genres represented. Thats a good thing. I think variety is key here.
Also, do you think us Dtoiders who make music will be able to get some songs of our own up there (with approval of course)?
Is it all going to be strictly video game remixes or just music that the staff deems awesome?
That's it.
It's like Michael Bay trying to direct Casablanca.
Now that my wishlist is out of the way, time to check this out.
maybe try getting some of those street fighter songs by that rapper named "turbo" on here?
check it outt

i heart this song with all my heart
i also heart you with all my heart, plus any other hearts i can get my hands on
Maybe just a button to click on each song that will keep them at the top of the whole list.
im using internet explorer and uhh.. kaspersky anti-virus?
another sick idea to implement may be to allow downloading of the songs?
like a file for all the mario songs, all the ff songs, etc
i cant get over how badass you are for making such a badass site
This rocks so hard, Niero...literally.
Some other nice ideas would be to let people request/vote on the next track which will be played and a shoutcast compatible stream for people who prefer to use their own music player, you can use multiple quality settings for the shoutcast servers off course and there is quite a decent open source shoutcast compatible server called icecast.
FUCKING WIN.
“Help Pogo escape from the evil research laboratory, where the mean old scientist genetically altered him. Uh-oh! The pharmaceutical scientist is going to get you, Pogo!”

“Good thing Pogo has a banana cannon. Those nasty scientists deserve to die. Now get the shampoo manufacturers before they squirt it in your eye!”
Fucking win.
The "Stroke randomizer" message is a nice touch.
This thing has everything!
Also -- I agree with what Filarion said.
If there's any way to make this player channel based, that would be helpful to avoid super scrolling. Like a Zelda channel, a Katamari channel, a Reader Podcast channel, etc. And one last suggestion: can you add a number of listens number? Would be a cool way to find new stuff by checking out what others are listening to the most. I'll probably end up listening to them all in one night anyways tho...
I go there to get all of my songs for StepMania. Just search for a song you want and download the SM file. The mp3s of each song are inlcuded in eahc file.
