Stumbled on this site last week: http://radio.garden

It’s a 3D representation of the globe and you can scroll around the world and hover over a city, it will start playing a streaming radio station at random and also gives you a list of other stations in that location. I’m in Reykjavic listening to X-ið FM 97.7 today.

One thing I have found: many European stations play absolute shit. I did find a good retro station in Brussels, so I spent a day there last week. Radio X and BBC 6 Music (London) play a reasonable range of stuff in the early hours of their day.

In the USA I listened to a fair bit of public radio. Had a bit of a sense of deja vu, as I’d heard some of the shows before, over here. It seems that the ABC, BBC & NPR swap programs between themselves.

Haven’t explored the US yet. I’m too worried I might hear Donald Trump in the news.

Well, yeah. How do you think the Eurovision Song Contest became the pulsating, monkey-shit-green mountain of putrescent ordure that it is? The continental Europeans gave up on good music around the late 1800s.

Beautifully put!

I’ve only just recently discovered streaming radio when I stumbled upon a station that plays Ska: bobskaradio.com
Often play it when I’m doing a bit of bookwork or writing documents at work.

I’m listening to Boss 104.3 in Guam today. It might be my last chance…
