i once had an art teacher that would play the radio during class. it limited talking in class so that we could concentrate on the day's art project. there were times we could bring albums to listen to. he was an avid listener of wnew 102.7 fm in nyc. last i heard, all of the djs left. some had worked there years...

radio, for me, has gone to pot. there IS no radio that plays a work by J.S. Bach and then follows it with say, The Doors...or the Beatles, followed by a Patsy Cline song...

true variety. everyone is too separate now...you've got stations that only play rap/hip hop or soft rock or country (new country not the classic old country).
that certainly gets boring.

i've got everything from the White Stripes to Etta James. can't quite figure out how to get classical on there...but when i do, you can bet there'll be some Stravinsky and Vivaldi.

the only sucky thing about it is that there are commercials programmed in....
at least they're not car commercials...
