David Pogue (@Pogue) tweeted a link too Radio.garden. You get to a page. Click open and
you then get the world, literally. Each green dot is a radio station. And when you zoom in you get
told the location and many more local green dots. Put the circle on the dot you want and start
listening. I'm listening to music from Kerala on the southern tip of India right now.
Have fun. And if there's something happening in some distant (from you - remember you are also in a distant part of the world from others) part of the world, you can quickly tune in to local or nearby stations to get the new direct. Many capitals, at least, have an English language station.
I tried 15 or so — all but two were chitty-chitty popular music — drums/fast rhythm, synthesized voices. Sigh. No where to get away from the sameness — the superficial.
ReplyDeleteTwo were voices. One was playing Sonny and Cher (Ireland).
Some were speaking English in non-English speaking countries.
Radio Garden it’s called — more like Turn Off that Radio — it all sounds the same. Loud, repetitious, cancelling out thinking.
Sorry you got those stations. I went to southern India and got some wonderful music.
ReplyDeleteIts pretty hard to top KFI 640AM Los Angeles. Or KPFK 90.7
ReplyDeleteIn Anchorage and probably other cities, you have to click on View All Stations.
ReplyDeleteThis has great potential.
Thanks Steve!
