I have been listening to the Felice Brothers. They have a distinctive sound; I enjoyed listening to an album whilst swimming yesterday.

I first heard of them from the video below. I like the video as it seems to fit the music quite well. At first I thought these fellers were somewhere in the western US. However, the company, Blitz Motorcycles, is French and the majority of the video was in Spain.

I'm a jazz aficionado and I listen to WBGO, KMHD, KLCC and my favorite station KEWU from Eastern Washington University at Cheney, WA. I use a Grace internet radio tuner connected to a Marantz amp driving a pair of 12" KLH 3-way speakers. Internet speed is 100 MBPS download so great sound quality.
I support KEWU as a monthly sustaining member to me it's that good.:heart Oh, I also have a portable internet radio playing in my shop. I guess I'm addicted.
 
I agree that KEWU is a great internet "radio" station. However, I am a bit confused by the Grace internet radio. I couldn't really divine much from the Grace website as to why this is better than just using a laptop, ipod, phone, or tablet via the home wifi and playing the music through a wired or wireless (e.g., bluetooth) speaker(s).

In my house I either listen to music through some Grado SR-80e headphones on my desktop computer, through my over 30 year old Cerwin-Vega speakers hooked up to a Denon receiver driven by an Apple mac-mini, or in the garage to music from a small Bose bluetooth speaker driven by an android tablet connected via wifi to the 'net. When I cut the grass I use some sound cancelling wireless headphones driven by an ipod in a pocket. I did go to a Best-Buy Magnolia listening room a few years ago and listened to music (I provided a USB drive with my music) from a variety of their speakers, but I didn't really hear anything "better" (meaning highly subjective and perhaps with declining hearing capabilities) than what I already had. I do like the Grado headphones as they are quite light and don't make my ears hurt or sweat and the sound (to me) is quite good.

Another internet "radio" that I like is SOMA.FM

This tune doesn't get enough airtime:
