I came across a music service that has a nice variety of music without a subscription. Not sure if you guys will get GEO-BLOCKED or not but......
http://music.cbc.ca
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBC_Music
CBC Music is a digital music service, launched by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on February 13, 2012.[1] The service provides online streaming of 46 web radio services, including the existing radio networks CBC Radio 2 and CBC Radio 3 and 40 streams devoted to particular genres of music.[1] Some of the genre webstreams were already provided by Radio 2 or Radio 3, while others were new offerings at the 2012 launch. A similar site, espace.mu, is also offered by the CBC's French radio division.
History
The service was launched shortly after the CBC reached a music licensing deal with the AVLA in January 2012.[2] The site is one of the first large-scale ventures into online broadcasting to be available in Canada since the launch of Iceberg Radio in 1997; as of CBC Music's launch, popular international ventures such as Spotify and Pandora remain unavailable to Canadian consumers.[3]
Content
The music streams are organized into various music communities, based on the existing community networking model developed by CBC Radio 3, whereby fans and genre specialists can participate in blogging and forum discussion about genre news and artists.
At present, most of the genre streams are unhosted, although one rock stream is hosted by CBC Radio personalities Lana Gay and Vish Khanna.
In addition, the site also serves as a portal to the websites of Q and The Strombo Show, two of the most popular music-related shows on CBC Radio's terrestrial services, and some artists' music and concert performances may also be streamed on demand.[4]
Platforms
In addition to the website, the service is also available as a smartphone application for iPhones and iPads.[2] Android and BlackBerry versions of the dedicated CBC Music app are not yet available, but are in development; however, the streams are already available through existing radio apps such as TuneIn.

Check out the picture...woooooo, what a hottie!

Tanning booth mom calls arrest for taking daughter, 5, a misunderstanding; ‘It was a sunburn,’ dad says
A New Jersey woman arrested for allegedly putting her 5-year-old daughter in a tanning booth says it was all a big misunderstanding.
Patricia Krentcil, 44, told NBC's local New York affiliate that she took her daughter with her to a local tanning salon but that the child was not exposed to the booth's synthetic UV rays.
"I tan, she doesn't tan," Krentcil said. "I'm in the booth, she's in the room. That's all there is to it."
Krentcil, of Nutley, N.J., was arrested last week, and charged Tuesday with felony child endangerment. She was released on a $25,000 bond and is due in court Wednesday.
"It's like taking your daughter to go food shopping," Krentcil said. "There's tons of moms that bring their children in."
Police, though, say Krentcil put her daughter in an upright tanning booth.
New Jersey state law prohibits children under the age of 14 from tanning booths. Children between the ages of 14 and 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
Police were alerted by school officials, who say Krentcil's daughter showed up for school with what appeared to be a sunburn, then told classmates she "went tanning with Mommy."
Rich Krentcil, the girl's father, told NBC the teacher misinterpreted his daughter.
"This whole big thing happened, and everyone got involved," he said. "It was 85 degrees outside, she got sunburned. That's it. That's all that happened."

A portable meth lab exploded in an Oklahoma man's pants Friday during a scuffle with a state trooper.
David Williams ran from a police officer who noticed a chemical smell as he was issuing a speeding ticket to the driver of the SUV that Williams was a passenger in, KOTV reported.
The officer caught up with Williams and in the ensuing struggle, an "active meth lab" he had been hiding in his pants burst, Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper Shiloh Hall told the station.
Police closed 221st Street in Okmulgee County, about 90 miles east of Oklahoma City, to clean up the scene.
Although meth was dripping down Williams' leg, he was uninjured. He was arrested on a complaint of manufacturing a controlled and dangerous substance.

Floridas plastic surgery needs some work!!
Butt Lift
tuWearing gloves, a nursing uniform and a photo identification, the practitioner they knew only as "Goddess" appeared legitimate to the two women who received buttock injections filled with household and automotive products.
The two women, who were seeking curvier posteriors, ended up with lingering illnesses and deformities following the hourlong butt-enhancement treatments performed inside a Dania Beach motel room in 2009, according to authorities.
Tuesday, the Broward Sheriff's Office announced the arrest of Oneal Morris, 32, who made national headlines last year in Miami-Dade County after being charged with injecting people in the butt with the near-lethal concoctions.
Officials now say Morris performed similar treatments on at least three women in Broward County. Morris, 32, turned himself in to Broward officials Monday on charges that include practicing medicine without a license resulting in serious injuries.
Pictures: See what cars are new and exciting this year at the New York auto show.
"I think this is justice served," said Tiffany Kennedy, 36, of Lauderhill, who underwent injections. "I would definitely want to know what would make them ruin people's lives."
Morris' recent arrest is the latest in what is now being called the "Toxic Tush" case, in which Morris is accused of injecting people with substances such as bathroom caulk, cement, Super Glue, Fix-A-Flat and mineral oil.
Morris' attorney, Michael Mirer, said his client, who was born a man and identifies as a woman, "maintains her innocence."
"My client is looking forward to her day in court," Mirer said. "At this point, I haven't seen any evidence other than what the victims are saying. These allegations are from three years ago. I question the timing of charges being brought now."
According to Broward sheriff's investigators, two of the women, Lournise Linton, 41, of Tampa, and Ophelia Parker, 36, of Vero Beach, drove to a Motel 6 in Dania Beach on May 26, 2009, to meet Morris.
The women told investigators that Morris looked and spoke like a medical doctor. Morris reportedly described to each woman a beauty procedure that consisted of injecting them up to 22 times with "silicone" in each buttock, according to arrest reports. They then were instructed to soak their buttocks with salt, alcohol and peroxide, according to the reports.
Parker noted to investigators that Morris kept the substances inside a Pedialyte bottle. Linton complained she couldn't remove a cotton ball placed over the injection wound because Super Glue was used, according to the report.
Both women paid $3,000 to $4,000.
In an earlier Broward incident, on March 16, 2009, Morris visited Kennedy at her home — she lived in Tamarac at the time — and performed the same procedure for $1,000, authorities said.
Kennedy's mother, Julie Mathews, said Tuesday that her daughter always was concerned about her looks and sought Morris' help.
"She always thought that she had to have a bigger rear end," the mother said. "She's perfect the way she is. She's very beautiful."
After the procedure, her daughter became ill with a fever and doctors said she was near death, the mother said from her Lauderhill home. She tried to locate Morris, who had vanished, the mother said.
Mathews said her daughter called authorities after recognizing Morris on television following last year's arrest.
Broward sheriff's deputies said all three women reported having serious, lingering ill effects.
Linton told investigators she paid Morris with money she received for her birthday. A year after her treatment, she began coughing up blood and went to the hospital, where doctors discovered what appeared to be bathroom caulk in her lungs. She remained hospitalized for three weeks and now needs regular intraveneous treatments to fight recurring infections.
A Jupiter doctor told Parker he wouldn't be able to remove the substance in her body because of its vast amounts. Parker now requires daily treatments, according to the report.
Broward officials learned about the cases following an investigation by the Florida Department of Health.
Sheriff's detectives and Broward prosecutors obtained warrants last week for Morris' arrest.
Morris, who also goes by the name "Duchess," was arrested in November along with his alleged assistant, Corey Alexander Eubanks. Morris is accused in Miami-Dade of duping a Miami Gardens woman into paying for six injections of a near-lethal formula of chemicals administered through a tube hooked to a cooler, according to police and state investigators.
Eubanks, accused of coordinating the meetings between the victims and Morris, got a cut of the $700 to $900 fee, authorities said. Eubanks' attorney, Jim Lewis, on Tuesday said he didn't expect additional charges against Eubanks.
Authorities say anyone who may have been a victim can file a complaint by contacting their local law enforcement agency or the state Department of Health's Unlicensed Activity Program at 1-877-425-8852
