I find modern radio disgraceful.
I'm lucky enough to live in a city with two great independent FM radio
stations (RRR & PBS)which, apart from the added bonus of lacking those inane
radio advertisements, play a wide variety of music, wide enough that there
is something for near everyone.
The alternatives (commercial stations) are stuck in either a 60's/70's/80's
time capsule or inflict the same 'top 40' crud on a thrice daily basis. As a
result, if what's on the two above dosen't appeal at a particular time, I
switch to AM/MW to a real oldies station where modern is Herb Alpert's
'spanish flea'and most of the ads are for funeral homes! Apparently, at 27,
I'm wierd for thinking the girl from Ipanema is hip, but I'll take that over
doof-doof (techno) anytime.
And if anyone cares for some suggested listening..see if "The Cruel Sea"
(Australian band) has anything on the shelves there. They've had moderate
mainstream success here so a good record shop may have them.
keep on truckin
