Since there’s been a musical theme to the week (sort of), I must share a radio stream that you may enjoy. The better-half found it earlier this week and I’ve been listening to it while at work since his discovery. The website has a set list and this afternoon has played:
- PJ Harvey
- The Styrenes
- Benny Goodman
- Antonio Carlos Jobim
- The Pixies
- David Bowie
- Pavement
- Tom Waits
- Cat Power
You get the point—all over the musical map. And, the thing is if you think you hate something wait a few minutes because the chances are high that you’ll get something you like.
Some other streams that I enjoy:
The Tide radio station located in Williamsburg, VA(look for the listen live link). I used to be able to listen to the station at home but they switched frequencies and now I have to be content with the streamed version. They are a commercial radio station so you get ads for local businesses. I may never buy a Yankee Candle because of their ads on this station.
The Bopst Show is a local AM show on during the week from 1-4pm. He’s all over the musical map too and is obviously crazy about music. He does get a yelling rant going on during breaks in music which you may not love, but the music will make you come back for more.
Thanks for the pointers. It’s refreshing to find music streams that aren’t tied to a particular genre.
At my former music store, I amassed a 400+ CD collection of everything from pow-wow to punk and set it on random play. It made for some interesting conversation when Ted Nugent or Matchbox20 or Hillary Duff were followed by Mozart or Benny Goodman or Chuck Berry. You get the idea.
